Pomegranate Health Benefits Are INSANE | Benefits of Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranate Health Benefits Are INSANE | Benefits of Pomegranate Juice
The pomegranate is a superfood with insane health benefits. The pomegranate is a fleshy berry and a great source of fiber, Vitamin C & K, iron, and potassium. They are also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Many studies in humans indicate that pomegranates are an excellent defense against several diseases. They also contain the precursor to a powerful “anti-aging” molecule called Urolithin A.
---------------------------------------------------------
🩺 Ask Doctor Hansen:
app.doctormike...
---------------------------------------------------------
The most significant source of its antioxidative properties is a chemical called punicalagin - a member of the family of ellagitannins found in the EDIBLE portion of the fruit. When we eat a pomegranate, our gut bacteria convert ellagitannins into Urolithin A.
To understand why Urolithin A slows down the aging process, we need to look at how our muscles age. 90% of our energy stems from microscopic structures in our cells called mitochondria. The cells in your body contain billions of tiny mitochondria. You can think of them as mini-batteries. Our bodies need to repair and sometimes replace defective, damaged, and old mitochondria for our body to work well. When mitochondria are damaged or defective, they self-destruct through a process called mitophagy, and once this happens, your cells make brand new mitochondria. During this process, dysfunctional and toxic elements in our cells are recycled or eliminated.
When we are younger, the mitophagy process happens more often. But when the process of mitophagy slows down, toxins may not be recycled or removed fast enough; this makes our body’s cells age faster, including muscle. Studies on humans and animals reveal that in the elderly, walking slower and poor muscle strength is associated with poor mitochondrial function. Improving mitophagy in older people has been shown to slow muscle strength decline from aging.
Maintaining a regular exercise regimen triggers the production of new mitochondria and boosts energy in our skeletal muscle cells when we age. A study found that Urolithin A promoted mitophagy, produced more mitochondria, and helped improve mitochondrial function in elderly individuals. These effects of Urolithin A mimicked how a regular exercise regimen benefits our muscles and helps us retain energy even when we are older.
Additionally, several rat and animal studies show that Urolithin A increased endurance levels in young and old rats by improving muscle health.
So what does that mean that Urolithin A and exercise combined have an even greater effect? Probably, but this is still an unknown. The effect of Urolithin A on humans is underway, and early results look promising.
Our gut is a collection of digestive organs that includes the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, or colon. There are a hundred trillion bacteria in our digestive systems. Having a diverse range of good bacteria in our gut is extremely healthy, and they are collectively known as gut microbiome or gut flora. Our gut microbiome regulates our immunity, prevents inflammation, fights against diseases, produces important vitamins, helps our body absorb nutrients from our food, and creates and regulates essential hormones. Not only that, but good gut health also affects our sleep, memory, moods, and mental health.
When digested, pomegranates act as a prebiotic. After digesting a pomegranate, some breakdown products include gallic acid, ellagic acid, and glucose. Bacteria in the colon then convert that into something called Urolithin A. So these natural substances keep our gut microbiome healthy - similar to a prebiotic. Prebiotics are fiber-rich plant foods that promote the growth of good bacteria in our gut. Urolithin A promotes the growth of good bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli while suppressing harmful bacteria like Clostridia.
However, there’s a catch.
Much of our gut microbiome composition is determined at birth. And many lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, a bad diet, and too much exposure to antibiotics can hurt our gut bacteria.
Suppose someone doesn’t have the right gut bacteria to make Urolithin A from ellagitannins. In that case, they cannot access the anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties of Urolithin A. More Urolithin A-related studies are underway to determine the benefits of ingesting Urolithin A directly so even people who cannot produce Urolithin A naturally can reap its benefits.

Not sure if it's related, and it will only apply to women of menopause age - only this was my experience with pomegranate. After one month of everyday heavy bleeding - I began to feel dizzy and knew that I needed help with replenishing my blood count. I'm not a fan of iron pills and prefer to heal as naturally as I can so I wanted to consume foods that naturally build up blood. By sheer coincidence the local grocery store changed out their fresh orange juice with pomegranates. I remembered that this fruit was on the list and bought my first fresh pomegranate juice ever. Well it had miraculous effects. The bleeding stopped immediately and my energy restored within days. I'm not a big fan of the taste only a huge fan of the results. So if you are a woman in need of a blood booster and you might want to consider giving this miraculous fruit a try.

The use of pomegranates dates back thousands of years, quite fascinating topic actually. I like to use pomegranate molasses in cooking, but it also makes a nice drink when watered down

[@enigmachicago6433]

Cooking the pomegranate may destroy its health benefits. The doctor was encouraging us to each fresh, raw pomegranates.

Wow.. I always pass those bye. I will have to take a reset on this.. thanks.

I moved to US in 1976 at that time I couldn’t find it in the grocery store while living in Pakistan we been using this fruit from childhood and a lot of other fruits and spices American were not aware of the benefits

Pomegranate is being mentioned in the holy Quran... i was coughing continuously for 6 days, on the 7th day when i was in Kl masjid india, i bought a freshly squeezed pomegranate juice and drank the whole bottle. Alhamdulillah my 6 days of coughing suddenly stopped. All praises be to Allah♥️

Thanks Doctor Mike. I have tried to incorporate it into my diet at least three times a week. I wish to do it more but I love oranges and grapefruits as well so three times a week I have given to the apple with the rubies inside. Please post one on grapefruits and oranges if you haven't done so already. Thanks again.

I grew up eating it straight out of our front yard garden. Not sure how the 1st seed got there as the shrub just grew out of nowhere. It was an acquired taste.

I noticed that every time I eat pomegranate with meal, my blood sugar turns out good, not high.

[@dogcrazy25]

The food you eat could counter- act the sugar in the pot juice. If you are metabolic healthy your body may compensate by increasing insulin to offset the sugar. I'm a type 2 diabetic, any sugar, regardless of "healthy" or "unhealthy" designation casing my blood sugar to rise over 200 and stay higher in a higher range for multiple days. In other words, the sugar stays in my liver.

From what I understand, various raspberries, blackberries, and a few types of nuts also have Ellagic Acids in them as well. Good gut bacteria converts Ellagic Acids into Urolithin A. According to Wikipedia, yellow raspberries have the highest amounts of Ellagic Acids.

[@DavidSenteno]

I appreciate you adding that whole fruit is better than juice. Great video. I'm off to hunt down some pomegranates. 👍

[@holdmybeer7621]

Try Kroger or Harris Teeter. They're getting them in now and almost always have the seeds.

Agree. Too many people don't realize the benefits of whole foods as opposed to juices - which are loaded with sugar without the fiber. Few Doctors understand nutrition as Dr. Hansen does.

[@williamrussellmorley]

that was my question, so eat the seeds? just whole or chew them up? I really don't know only tried this fruit once and seemed like I shouldn't be eating the seed part so not sure I appreciate any answers

[@KarlMaldensNose]

@@williamrussellmorley Eat the entire seed. If you don’t it’s essentially pomegranate juice with little to no fibre. It’s interesting to me that someone doesn’t know how to eat pomegranates-and I don’t mean that as an insult. Without actively seeking them out I’ve probably had 50 pomegranates in my life and don’t think of them as rare or exotic.

[@dmg1866]

@@MultiSciGeek I read somewhere that the peel contains a lot of anti cancer nutrients. I've simmered it in some water and will strain it then freeze into ice cubes to be taken in say a smoothy or freshly squeezed lemon drink . Since I'm new to this I will only have a cube at a time and be cautious. 🙏

As expensive as they are. We were blessed to have a tree/bush producing about 500 in one year. Ignorance keep us from eating such nutrients, yes our parents didn't want to deal with the messiness.
