GoodFood – Pomegranate juice contains a lot of flavonoids – natural antioxidants that protect cells from aging, suppress inflammatory processes and prolong the youth of the body, writes Rospotrebnadzor.
The benefits don’t end there, as the juice is a source of important minerals:
- potassium – helps the heart beat smoothly and without failures;
- magnesium – calms the nervous system and participates in protein metabolism;
- copper – ensures proper absorption of iron, which means vigor and the absence of anemia.
Due to its general strengthening effect, pomegranate juice is especially recommended for older people and those recovering from illness or surgery.
Important: the juice has high acidity, therefore:
- dilute the juice with water so as not to irritate the gastric mucosa;
- After each appointment, rinse your mouth with clean water so as not to harm your tooth enamel.
In addition, those who are prone to constipation should treat the drink with caution: in large quantities it can aggravate this delicate problem.
What to look for when choosing:
Focus on the color of the product – red-burgundy, so it is better to choose juice in a glass container. The juice should not contain added sugar.
