 Pomegranates, by far are one of my favorite fruits. Its health benefits consist of reducing several heart risk factors, including LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation, all of which are steps in atherosclerosis and heart disease. A single pomegranate gives you 40% of your daily required Vitamin C, while being rich in content with folic acid and other potent anti oxidants (which help prevent free radicals which are in turn responsible for organ and cell oxidation/ destruction). The endless benefits of this fruit simply add to my love for it, and when a 100% juice variety was made available, I simply couldn't be happier. As a veteran pomegranate lover, I must say that the POM brand has the best taste that resembles that of the original fruit, unlike a few other brands that I have tried in the past. Note: The bottle doesn't come with the cape, however, its very fitting when considering how good this stuff is for you, it can save your life (sorta)... |
