Inflammatory responses in the body can pose a serious health problem, especially when they become chronic or persistent inflammation. Arthritis and diabetes are some of the most well-known related diseases, and several studies have already associated the polyphenols and flavonoids that can be found in pomegranate juice as great health allies in inflammatory processes.

Cardiovascular health

The mitigation of oxidative stress thanks to the antioxidants in pomegranate also benefits cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of coronary heart disease by improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure.

Cognitive benefits
