Pomegranate

Grown in the Middle East before its introduction to Southern California, the pomegranate has long been celebrated for its numerous healthy properties. The juicy pulp and crisp seeds especially are a rich source of potassium, vitamin C, and powerful antioxidants, reports the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Pomegranates also contain polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that may directly protect the arteries by reducing oxidative stress.

Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of red wine or green tea. These antioxidants are essential for fighting destructive free radicals, atoms that form during the body’s normal metabolic functions due to stresses (like smoking, obesity, and poor diet), attack tissues, and contribute to diseases in the body, research shows.

A strong cardiovascular system is essential to your good health. Studies also show that the antioxidants in pomegranates can reduce plaque buildup on artery walls and lessen stress on the cells lining the blood vessels. The results of a study involving pomegranate juice and the heart showed that when treated with pomegranate juice, heart cells produced 50% more nitric oxide, a secretion that helps blood cells to relax. In several human clinical studies, pomegranate juice was proved effective for diminishing multiple heart risk factors leading to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

While they are extremely healthy, pomegranates can also be expensive and difficult to find, not to mention very messy to prepare and eat.
