Hey
Now many fruits fight for the crowning glory of being the best, and I don't discriminate against any, fruit is natures dessert in my eyes
But one I'm particularly fond of is always overlooked, and yet it has an array of benefits to it's name
Now i won't spoil what is is until you've had a guess and read the list below
Rich in Antioxidants
- Contains punicalagins and anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that protect against cellular damage.
- Helps reduce oxidative stress and protect against free radicals.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
- Reduces inflammation in the body, which is linked to chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
Supports Heart Health
- Lowers blood pressure and improves cholesterol levels.
- Reduces plaque build up in arteries and improves blood flow, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Aids in Digestion
- High in fibre, which promotes gut health and regular bowel movements.
- Contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, potentially benefiting conditions like IBS and Crohn’s disease.
Boosts Immune Function
- Rich in vitamin C and other immune-supportive nutrients, helping to enhance immune function and protect against infections.
- The antioxidants in pomegranate may help prevent infections by supporting the body’s defence against pathogens.
Promotes Skin Health

- Anti-inflammatory properties help soothe skin conditions like acne and eczema.
Cancer-Fighting Potential

So tell me, what do you think it is?

A staple inclusion for myself and clients i work with for it's numerous benefits and the fact it taste great is another reason to include it.
All hail the pomegranate
