By Garrett Simpson, Community Health Leader
For many that don’t know, December is in the middle of pomegranate season. Even though they stain my hands and clothes, I can’t get enough of that sweet and sour fruit.
- Pomegranates can help prevent or treat various disease risk factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory activities. It is demonstrated that certain components of the pomegranate, such as polyphenols, have potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic effects.
- Greek yogurt contains probiotics, which are good bacteria that may restore biomes within the gut. Pairing up pomegranate with Greek yogurt not only tastes good but is good for you as well.
