Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranates aren't as well known as their fruity counterparts, but when it comes to healthy benefits they're in a league of their own! Research has confirmed that pomegranate juice reduces LDL bad cholesterol and that's just for starters! Eight ounces of pomegranate juice per day reduced high blood pressure by five percent in some test subjects. The study found that the juice mimicked the effects of some hypertension drugs. Like tea, pomegranate juice is packed with cancer fighting anti-oxidants called polyphenols. It's also low in calories -- about one hundred forty in an eight ounce glass! Whole pomegranate fruit is also a delicious addition to your healthy diet strategy!
