Russia (bbabo.net) - A new study by American nutritionists has shown that drinking fresh pomegranate juice can help fight oxidation and "free radicals" in the body. Pomegranate contains a lot of antioxidants. These natural compounds support the body's defense against unstable molecules called "free radicals" that can damage your cells over time. At the same time, pomegranates, which are collected and consumed at the peak of the season from October to January, have the greatest health effect.

According to a study by nutritionists at the University of California Los Angeles, pomegranate juice contains more of these compounds than four other drinks known to be high in antioxidants: red wine, Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, and green tea. In particular, fresh pomegranate juice was found to have, on average, three times the antioxidant power of green tea.

However, individual parts of this fruit contain different types of antioxidants. For example, the ruby ​​red pomegranate kernels contain anthocyanins, while the hard rind and white core contain ellagitannins. According to American nutritionist Professor Maggie Moon in an interview with eatthis.com, consuming several types of foods known for their antioxidants has the advantage of being a key tenet of nutrition because it makes it easier to get all the nutrients you need to be healthy. Finally, pomegranate juice contains unique pomegranate polyphenols that may be beneficial for fitness. For example, the antioxidants in pomegranate juice can help increase the bioavailability of nitric oxide by protecting it from breakdown in the body, which helps the body get the oxygen and nutrients it needs for exercise.
