Endocrinologist and nutritionist Oksana Mikhalev confirmed that pomegranate has unique health properties and can be useful in the case of many diseases.
According to her, pomegranate fruits and seeds contain many biologically active compounds, which increases the interest of scientists and researchers in it.
She says: "The results of various scientific studies indicate that pomegranate has strong antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer properties. There is information indicating its benefit in the case of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases, rheumatism and even tumors and diseases of the oral cavity. It also has a positive effect on the condition of the skin."
The doctor points out that young pomegranate seeds can be eaten with their seeds, because they contain dietary fiber, which increases the benefits and nutritional value of pomegranate. Dietary fiber, which is often lacking in the diet of many, has many benefits, including preventing colon cancer, removing harmful substances from the body and improving the functioning of the digestive system.
The doctor emphasizes that only soft pomegranate seeds can be eaten. Because hard seeds can damage the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Everyone should also know that pomegranate alone cannot cure any disease. Therefore, if there is a health problem, you should consult a specialist doctor and not practice self-medication.
