<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/khy-collaborates-with-the-french-brand-atlein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylie Jenner</a>, the &ldquo;youngest billionaire in the world&rdquo; and youngest member of the Kardashian family, was revealed by the British press to be able to earn $1.26 million from each Instagram post. With a significant influence on social networks, Kylie has shared her love for pomegranates. Recently, she posted a photo of a pomegranate on her Instagram story with the message " I eat one of these a day." causing fans to immediately rush to supermarkets.

<h2 class="css-g9bqay e16kmapv5">Nutritional Benefits of Pomegranate</h2>

Pomegranate is a fruit rich in nutrients and polyphenols, with outstanding antioxidant and skin beautifying properties. With only about 60 calories per 100 grams, pomegranate is a low-calorie choice, ideal for weight loss, aiding digestion and boosting metabolism, bringing countless benefits.

Improve heart health

Pomegranates are a rich source of polyphenols, a powerful group of antioxidants that may provide cardiovascular benefits. Studies show that pomegranate polyphenols help protect the heart and blood vessels by helping to protect against a number of risks, including:<ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> Atherosclerosis: Reduces the buildup of cholesterol and fat in the arteries, the main cause of heart disease.</li><li> High blood pressure: Reduces the risk of stroke if left uncontrolled.</li></ul> The prominent compound in pomegranates, punicalagins (also known as ellagitannins), is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce the thickening of artery walls, cholesterol buildup, and plaque. In addition, pomegranate juice contains anthocyanins and anthoxanthins, pigments that support overall heart health. Regular consumption of pomegranate juice can help lower LDL cholesterol, or “bad cholesterol,” and increase HDL cholesterol, or “good cholesterol,” which protects arteries and reduces the risk of stroke and heart problems. In a clinical trial, overweight or obese people who took a pomegranate extract supplement for 30 days experienced significant results: weight loss, lower blood sugar, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL/HDL ratio, and reduced blood markers of inflammation.

Reduce the risk of certain cancers

Rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, pomegranates help protect cells from free radical damage. Preliminary studies have shown that pomegranates have potential in preventing prostate, breast, lung, and colon cancers. Animal studies have also shown that pomegranate consumption may help prevent the development of tumors in the lung, skin, colon, and prostate. However, more research is needed to clarify the effects on humans.

Supports urinary tract health

A preliminary study in people at high risk of kidney stones suggests that pomegranate extract may help prevent stones from forming. Scientists believe that the polyphenols in pomegranates may reduce blood levels of oxalate, calcium, and phosphate – chemicals that contribute to kidney stone formation – and thus protect urinary tract health.

Supports digestive health

Pomegranates act as a natural prebiotic – a type of “food” that beneficial bacteria in the gut break down to produce nutrients. Feeding your gut microbiome not only improves digestion, but also plays a protective role against chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and colon cancer. In addition, whole pomegranate seeds are rich in fiber, which helps maintain a healthy digestive system.

Protect brain health

Pomegranates contain ellagitannins, a polyphenol that is effective against inflammation throughout the body. Preliminary studies suggest that ellagitannins may help protect the brain and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease by preventing free radical damage and inflammation in the brain.

Strengthen joint health

The antioxidants in pomegranates have been shown to reduce symptoms and prevent complications in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The polyphenols in pomegranates also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce muscle pain after exercise. Regular consumption of pomegranate juice will promote blood circulation, help muscles recover quickly and reduce fatigue. Photo: kyliejenner, Getty Images
