Pomagranate seeds : Healthy red pearls.

 ■ |||||||||||■|||||||||■||||||||||| ■ 

Here in this article, I am throwing light on health benefits of pomagranate seeds.

Here are the health benefits of pomagranate seeds -

  1). Boosts Immunity ■|■ 

To prevent sickness, vitamin C is one of the essential vitamins your body needs. Instead of overloading on citrus fruits, you'll be glad to know that the seeds from one pomegranate account for nearly 40 percent of your vitamin C for the day.

   2). Good For Heart Health ■|■ 

If you're concerned about eating the right foods for your ticker, pomegranate seeds are great. According to Joel Fuhrman, not only do arils lower cholesterol, they can "lower high blood pressure and increase the speed at which heart blockages melt away."

  3). Prevents Over Eating ■|■ 

For being so small, pomegranates are surprisingly high in fiber—one of the most important nutrients for sustainable weight loss. Since high-fiber foods keep your body satisfied for longer, you'll be less likely to overeat if you're full. Snacking on pomegranate arils on their own is a healthy and refreshing fall treat, but there are plenty of other tasty ways to incorporate this delicious fruit into your diet.

   4). Pomagranate Seed Oil Provides Protection From Sun ■|■ 

Pomegranate seed oil can help to protect your skin from the damaging effects of sunlight. The antioxidants in the fruit protect your skin from damage from free radicals and pomegranate seed oil contains large amounts of ellagic acid, an antioxidant that has been shown to inhibit the growth of skin tumors.

      5). Helps In Weight Management ■|■ 

As with many fruits, pomegranate seeds are low in calories and rich in fiber, providing only 83 calories and 4 g of dietary fiber per 100 g serving. A 100-g serving is equivalent to about 3/4 cup. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines for Americans, for optimal health with a 2000-calorie diet, you should consume 2 cups of fruit and 2½ cups of vegetables per day. Pomegranate seeds and other fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains, may reduce your risk of developing chronic disease and aid in weight management.

    6). Provides Vitamin C & K ■|■ 

Pomegranate seeds are a good source of two essential vitamins, C and K. A 100 g portion of raw, edible seeds provides 10.2 mg of vitamin C or 17 percent of the recommended daily value, or DV. Pomegranate seeds provide slightly more than 16 mcg of vitamin K, or 20 percent of the DV, according to NutritionValue.org. Vitamin C aids in immune system function, wound healing, promotion of healthy gums and the manufacture of collagen and elastin. Vitamin C also enhances iron absorption. Vitamin K is important for maintaining strong, healthy bones as well as proper blood clotting.

   7). May Prevent Cancer ■|■ 

Pomegranate seeds, like other fruits and vegetables, are rich in phytochemicals, which are beneficial substances found in minute quantities in plant foods. The group of phytochemicals in pomegranate seeds is called polyphenols. Pomegranate seeds are rich in specific polyphenols, such as tannins, quercetin and anthocyanins -- all of which may offer both heart health and anti-cancer benefits. As powerful antioxidants, polyphenols may improve healthy cell survival, induce cancer cell death and prevent tumor growth, according to an article published in "The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" in January 2005. Anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antimicrobial properties.

   8). Protect Against Muscles Aches & Inflammation ■|■ 

The conjugate fatty acids like punicic acid present in this oil help to make the body resilient against inflammation, ease muscle pain and reduce swellings in the body.

    9). Treat Hormonal Imbalances ■|■ 

Phytoestrogens present in this oil are helpful to treat and avoid hormonal imbalances, and the essential Vitamin B, Vitamin C and mineral content of this oil help to develop and strengthen the immunity system of the body.
