Pomegranate stands out among seasonal fruits for its high benefits to the immune system. Dietitian Vasilisa Ponomareva claims that during the cold season, this fruit can be consumed daily.
Vasilisa Ponomareva believes that pomegranate, the season of which starts in September and lasts until February, should be part of everyone's diet. This fruit helps normalize the functioning of various systems in the body.
“Pomegranate seeds are beneficial for the intestines due to the acid they contain. Bacteria convert it into urolithin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Pomegranate can protect against fungal and bacterial infections,” notes the dietitian.
The doctor emphasizes that studies have shown a positive effect of pomegranate seeds on muscle strength. Therefore, this product is often included in the diet of those who aim to increase muscle mass. Additionally, the trace elements found in pomegranate protect the cardiovascular system from harmful LDL cholesterol and help regulate blood pressure levels.
Pomegranate will also be beneficial for those who care about skin health. Vasilisa Ponomareva highlights that omega-5 fatty acids found in the seeds of the fruit help reduce swelling and stimulate the production of collagen.
According to the doctor, just one glass of pomegranate juice a day can help maintain the elasticity of heart vessels, support the immune system in fighting diseases, improve digestion, and enhance overall body condition. The doctor recommends choosing the ripest fruits. Although peeling them can be a challenging task, the benefits obtained justify the effort.
