Composition of pomegranate juice
Pomegranate juice is rich in vitamins A, B, PP, E, C, folic acid, many organic acids, essential amino acids, water-soluble polyphenols and trace elements - potassium, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, iron, tannins and pectin substances.
The benefits of pomegranate juice
Pomegranate juice is especially beneficial for people with anemia, as it can increase the level of hemoglobin in the blood. Also, this drink is recommended for hypertension and edema, since it has a diuretic effect. When pomegranate juice is consumed, the body is supplied with the right amount of potassium, which, as a rule, is washed out when taking diuretics, which is very dangerous in the presence of cardiovascular diseases.
The use of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice is also high for the digestive system. The composition of this drink includes tannins, pectin substances and folacin, which can relieve inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, normalize and activate the stomach, improve digestion and appetite.
Pomegranate juice is an excellent remedy for strengthening the immune system and helps in the fight against angina, respiratory infections and bronchial asthma. With angina and acute respiratory viral infections, it is necessary to gargle with pomegranate juice diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio several times a day. In the same concentration, you need to drink juice (no more than 1 glass per day). To enhance the taste and effect of the drink, you can add a small amount of natural honey to it. And lotions from pomegranate juice will help in the prevention and treatment of astigmatism and myopia. In addition, the use of this drink has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, hair and nails.
Contraindications of pomegranate juice
Pomegranate juice, in spite of the great benefits, can also harm the body. You cannot drink it in its pure form, since the acids that are part of it can damage the tooth enamel. That is why it must be diluted with water or other berry, fruit or even vegetable juices. Plus, pure pomegranate juice is astringent, which can lead to constipation.
Pomegranate juice is contraindicated for people suffering from gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastritis, pancreatitis, low blood pressure, as well as people prone to allergic reactions.
