Today I decided to tell you about a fruit that I have at home, it is delicious and also versatile called Pomegranate. It is a sweet fruit that comes from a tree called Granado(Punica granatum) and occurs in tropical climates.
The pomegranate is a fruit rich in antioxidants, fiber, minerals such as potassium, it also provides phosphorus, manganese, calcium, iron and magnesium. Among vitamins, it mainly contains vitamins C, B1 and B2 in small amounts.
The benefits of pomegranate are:
* Stimulates the immune system, due to its antioxidant content, it maintains healthy cells in our body and helps fight viruses that may enter, reducing swelling and preventing damage to organs.
* Keeps blood pressure low.
* Lowers cholesterol levels.
* Fights inflammation throughout the body, thanks to the antioxidants it contains, even in cases of arthritis and osteoarthritis.
* Inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
We eat it raw at home, my daughter likes to have a snack with a pomegranate when we are ripe; My mother's husband also uses it as artificial tears to keep his eyes lubricated, he had surgery several years ago and his doctor told him that he could use a daily drop of fresh pomegranate juice in each eye and it really works for him. , several neighbors and relatives have also tried it and found it beneficial without any medical contraindication so far.
