Join us as we review the health benefits of pomegranate in detail. We discuss how they could be beneficial for physical activity, muscle strength, neural protection and slowing down cognitive decline. We talk about the anti-inflammatory effects of pomegranate, and we talk about the anti-cancer effects as well as the effects pomegranate has on metabolic syndrome manifestations like high blood pressure, central obesity, insulin resistance, high blood sugar levels, high cholesterol levels. We take some time to explore how pomegranate affects the Microbiome, and how a healthy microbiome type can allow us to maximize our benefits from pomegranates. Lastly, we talk about the different parts of the pomegranate, if possible, we really should try to get in the entire fruit, not just the central Arils. And FINALLY - we need more high quality studies done on pomegranate intake - we need to better define the best formulation, dose and frequency.
I hope you find this video informative and useful. Let us know if you are planning to incorporate more pomegranates into your life. If so, how are you planning to do that? I’m hoping to plant some pomegranate trees here on Maui, hopefully I will soon reap the benefits of that. Any tips on pomegranate cultivation would be welcome - please reach out and throw them in the comment section below. Until next time - stay safe, stay healthy and aloha.

    One glass of pomegranate juice everyday in the morning did a magic for me to recoup weakness from anaemia. I was too weak to stand upright properly. It works dramatically.

    I’ve been eating one a day for about 3 weeks and I do feel my energy has gotten greater. I have RA and fibromyalgia which cause chronic fatigue, along with other health problems, they were priced so high I couldn’t afford them. The price in my area has recently gone down to an affordable price. I make it a point to eat one every day. My joints feel much better. Thanks to UTUBE I have become aware of natural foods can help all kind of health problems. Was it mentioned that the skin can be consumed also.

    Hi Doc, What do you think about using whole pomegranate purée (via VitaMix blending) in my homemade kombucha? Do you think all the health benefits you espoused about pomegranate would be enhanced, diminished, or unchanged when adding to the secondary fermentation of kombucha? The symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast might continue to feed on parts of the pomegranate purée, so I wonder how that kombucha SCOBY might metabolize the pomegranate. I love learning from you, Doc. Best, Chris

    Hey Chris, Interesting question. I have not seen this particular situation studied, so we have to speculate. I suspect there would be a change if the pomegranate was added to kombucha. Good or bad - who knows. I think the pomegranate puree would act as a sugar substrate for the kombucha to ferment - but not sure how that would affect the microbiome at the end of the day..

    You shouldn’t drink the juice as it’s too full of sugar. Eat the fruit with the seeds that’s the healthiest way to eat the pomegranate.
