Fruit juice and heart health – what´s the connection? Usually, you’ll read articles cautioning you to eat the whole fruit instead of drinking fruit juices but in this case, your heart could benefit…

The fruit juice your heart will thank you for…
One study on mice with elevated cholesterol levels showed that pomegranate juice slowed the progression of atherosclerosis by at least 30%.
In another study, pomegranate juice helped increase nitric oxide production in heart cells by 50%. Nitric oxide helps blood vessels relax, easing blood flow… An effect which isn’t just good for your heart, but for your sex life too!
Pomegranates contain potent antioxidants that can slow down the rate of atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty substances in the arteries), and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. This could significantly reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.
They’re a good source of vitamin K, potassium, folate and vitamins B6, B5 and E. Pomegranates are also rich flavonoids and tannins.

How much pomegranate juice should you drink?
Just half a glass of pomegranate juice every day will offer you these heart benefits.
You can eat the whole fruit, but I think you’ll agree with me that it’s not the easiest of fruits to eat so buying the ready-made juice at health shops could take away the need to pick the seeds out individually.
