Dr. Yang Ziqi
Nutritional benefits of pomegranate include:
1. Pomegranate is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and B-complex vitamins, which enhance immunity, promote bone health, and improve nervous system function.
2. Pomegranate contains abundant antioxidants, such as anthocyanins and tannic acid, which help remove free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and play a positive role in preventing chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and cancer.
3. Pomegranate also contains dietary fiber, which helps promote intestinal motility and improve digestive health. Pomegranate seed oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-5 fatty acids, which are beneficial for skin health and possess anti-inflammatory properties.
The high dietary fiber content in pomegranate helps promote intestinal health and prevent constipation. At the same time, pomegranate juice has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.
