Pomegranate: The Ultimate Health Food

If you're wondering why an entire book is devoted to one fruit, the pomegranate, wonder no more. With its complex qualities, including its highly concenrated supply of antioxidants, its ability to regulate hormones, and its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral qualities, this fruit stands out in high profile, even among all the marvels of contemporary natural medicine and therapeutic nutrition. This book investigates why the pomegranate deserves to be called "The Most Medicinal Fruit" and discusses how pomegranate can help: reduce the risk of various cancers, cardiovascular disease, and stroke; slow or prevent the harmful effects of chronic inflammation and oxidation; prevent postmenopausal conditions in women and prostate problems in men; maintain brain function, joint health, and a strong immune system; prevent Alzhemier's disease, osteoarthritis, and infection. After many centuries in which the pomegranae's medical usefulness was revered, but then forgoten in the stampede of pharmaceuticals, the pomegrnate is again approaching center state as a modern-day fountain of health.
