Be aware of power of pomegranate

Organic pomegranate juice is highly beneficial for skin

Pomegranate has many health benefits, and it can do wonders for ones skin too.
From playing the role of powerful antioxidant to a product of anti-ageing, the fruit can help in many ways, suggests Wren Holmes, brand manager of natural ayurvedic skincare Urban Veda, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Heres how you can use the fruit for skin nourishment:



Powerful antioxidant: Skin nutrition is vital at tackling one of the biggest causes of aging: free radical damage, and pomegranates are rightly known as superfoods for their antioxidant content.


Cellular regeneration: Not only is pomegranate anti-inflammatory and high in essential fatty acids, it has also been shown to stimulate Keratinocyte skin cells which help with cellular regeneration, making it a fantastic anti-aging ingredient.


Anti-ageing: The outer layer of the skin, the dermis, is made up of collagen and elastic fibres. Wrinkles arise in the dermis as collagen and elastin degrade and Vitamin C is an integral part of collagen formation enabling proteins to become stronger. Just one pomegranate possesses 48 percent of the daily value of Vitamin C.


Organic pomegranate juice: Organic pomegranate juice is highly beneficial for skin. Its small molecular structure helps to penetrate more deeply into the skin to deliver hydration rich in micronutrients and phytochemicals.
The crushed seeds of pomegranate are also perfect for exfoliation.

(IANS) / 24 August 2014

Two years of research by a Nigerian scientist has shown that sufferers of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease could be helped by punicalagin, a compound extracted from pomegranates.

Do not throw that pomegranate peel in the garbage bin. In the near future, it may be a source of drugs for two incurable diseases that affect the elderly.


Two years of research by a Nigerian scientist has shown that sufferers of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease could be helped by punicalagin, a compound extracted from pomegranates.


Olumayokun Olajide from the University of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire showed how punicalagin could inhibit inflammation in specialised brain cells known as micrologia.


He also found the painful inflammation that accompanies illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and Parkinson’s disease could be reduced using the same drug.


”We do know that regular consumption of pomegranate has a lot of health benefits, including prevention of neuro-inflammation related to dementia,” Olajide added.


He recommended juice products that have real pomegranate that will have nearly 3.4 percent of the wonder compound punicalagin.


”Most of the anti-oxidant compounds are found in the outer skin of the pomegranate and not in the soft part of the fruit,” Olajide added.


Alzheimer’s has no cure and sufferers get progressively worse but the new compound could prevent it or slow down its development, he said.
The research was published in the journal Molecular Nutrition and Food Research.
