Commercial Drive - East Vancouver Chiropractor; Dr. Dominic Chan DC - FYI: Pomegranate Packs a Punch!


In recent years Pomegranate juice seems to be popping up everywhere!

So much so that I have definitely noticed the increase in patients asking me what are my thoughts on Pomegranate. So naturally, I decided to write a post about it. I think Pomegranate and Pomegranate juice in particular, is great! But don't just take my word for it, here some facts about Pomegranate juice.

Pomegranate juice is one of the healthiest juices available. To start, one glass of this juice contains about 40% of the US recommended daily dose of Vitamin C. Along with Vitamin C, Pomegranate juice also contains Vitamins A, E and Folate in significant quantities.

In addition, Pomegranate juice is known to be high in substances called, Antioxidants. Antioxidants are important because they have been linked to cardiovascular health. Preliminary studies have suggested that Pomegranate juice may be helpful in preventing heart disease, heart attacks and stroke. But it doesn't end there. Other tests have shown that Pomegranate juice helped to slow the growth of prostate cancer in mice. So listen up men, Pomegranate juice may just be the easiest, and tastiest way to protect your prostate!
