Fruits for 'health-boosting' [Part 2]

Guess how many of us have ever heard of the fruit named "Pomegranate"? I've not really seen this fruit being sold in market, but have been planted in home gardens instead. Let me show you how the fruit looks like.........

Apart from being a 'health-boosting fruit', it's leaves are also of great use by the olden Chinese. They believe that if a baby or child is unwell or tends to cry unnecessarily, letting them bath with the leaves of it will help heal them. Though this is a superstitious belief but what I understand is, it does help. Wanna try???

Regarding it's fruits, let me share with you all an article which I've read........

Pomegranate

In ancient Babylonian mythology, the pomegranate was regarded as an agent of resurrection. Latest scientific evidence shows that the fruit does have restorative powers.

Offering higher antioxidant activity than red wine and green tea, it's no wonder studies have shown that is may prevent skin cancer and kill cancer cells. The fruit is rich in antioxidants that have been said to protect LDL "bad" cholesterol from oxidation.

An Italian study showed that the juice reduced the effects of stress on blood vessel cells by stimulating nitric oxide production. This chemical helps keep arteries open and blood flowing.

But if you're on medication, talk to your doctor first. There is some concern that it may lower blood pressure when combined with certain medicines.
