Health Benefits of Organic Pomegranates

1) Good for Your Heart - The antioxidants in pomegranates fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals to protect against conditions like heart disease and stroke. Research suggests that the polyphenolic antioxidants naturally occurring in pomegranates can reduce the risk for atherosclerosis, a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart. It turns out organic pomegranates keep more than our taste buds happy!

2) High in Fiber - A single serving of organic dried pomegranates contains nearly 20 percent of the recommended daily value for dietary fiber. The great thing about pomegranates is that it contains both insoluble and soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water so that it can add bulk to the diet and keep the digestive tract running smoothly. Soluble fiber helps stabilizes blood sugar and reduce LDL "bad" cholesterol levels by forming a gel in the digestive tract that traps sugar and carbohydrates, limiting the amount that is absorbed by the bloodstream.

3) Powerhouse of Vitamin A - Snacking on the recommended serving of dried organic pomegranates provides a whopping 50 percent of the daily value for vitamin A. This nutrient boosts the immune system and is essential for maintaining eye health. Studies show that vitamin A can help reduce the risk for age-related macular degeneration, a disease which damages the retina and leads to vision loss. Who knew that satisfying a sweet tooth could also put you well on your way to reaching your daily dose for vitamin A?
