Healing properties of Pomegranate

Joel Fuhrman, MD has an excellent post on his blog Disease Proof titled “Pomegranate Power.”

I have already posted an article on pomegranates role in slowing osteoarthritis. Dr. Fuhrman on his blog discusses some more healing properties attributed to this fruit including:-

1. Most powerful anti-oxidant of all fruits
2. Potent anti-cancer and immune supporting effects
3. Inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation that could cause heart attacks, strokes and embolic disease
4. Lowers cholesterol and other cardiac risk factors
5. Lowers blood pressure
6. Shown to promote reversal of atherosclerotic plaque in human studies.
7. May have benefits to relieve or protect against depression and osteoporosis
