- Helps maintain weight.
One benefit of pomegranate that is quite popular is weight loss. This is not entirely true. Regular consumption of pomegranate does not automatically make you thin in an instant. After all, there hasn't been a lot of research showing the effectiveness of pomegranate on weight loss.
However, you can make pomegranate into your daily diet. Because it contains filling fiber, pomegranate may help maintain weight. That way, you eat less and, in turn, lose weight.
- Maintain heart health.
Pomegranate is believed to help lower cholesterol levels in the blood, which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease.
If you are at risk of suffering from coronary heart disease, try to consume pomegranate juice. A study shows that consuming at least 200 ml of pomegranate juice every day for 3 months, can reduce symptoms of ischemia due to narrowing of the heart arteries.
