Pomegranates
Prevent Coronary Artery Disease ProgressionStudies confirm Pomegranate’s power when it comes to cardiovascular health. Pomegranate extract may prevent or reverse
primary pathology linked to cardiac mortality: a form of progressive thickening
of the coronary arteries usually caused by fatty deposits, known as
atherosclerosis.
Despite
the increased cholesterol levels pomegranate extract caused, associated with
low density lipoprotein-sized particles, this pomegranate treatment also
reduced the size of atherosclerotic plaques found in the aortic
sinus, which is the dilated opening right above the aortic valve.
This
treatment also reduced the proportion of the coronary arteries with occlusive
atherosclerotic plaques.
Scientists
also discovered other health benefits of pomegranate treatment, including:
- Reduced oxidative stress
- Reduced monocyte chemotactic
protein-1, which is a chemical messenger, or a chemokine, usually
associated with any inflammatory process in the arteries
- Reduced accumulation of
lipids in the heart muscle
- Reduced monocyte chemotactic
protein-1 and fibrosis in the myocardium
- Reduced heart enlargement
- Reduced ECG abnormalities
Vitamin C deficiency is
actually a fundamental cause of cardiovascular disease, linking this theory to
the fact that hominid primate ancestors once had year-round abundance of fruit,
which reduced their ability to metabolize it.The study
showed that regular daily consumption of pomegranate juice may reverse carotid
artery stenosis by 29% within a year. The study also outlined the ability of
this fruit to unblock arteries, which was even more effective than they first thought.
Pomegranates
provide a great number of health benefits, as confirmed by these
studies, and we have covered some of the most important
Anti-Inflammatory
Effect
Similar
to chronic degenerative diseases, inflammation can play a significant role in
cardiovascular disease pathogenesis. that indicate pomegranate’s
anti-inflammatory properties.
Lowers
Blood Pressure
Pomegranate
juice contains natural angiotensin converting enzyme inhibiting properties, and
it also enhances nitric oxide. These are two well-known pathways that reduce
blood pressure. Pomegranate extract is also rich in punicalagin, which can
reduce the adverse effects of perturbed stress on arteries exposed to improper
flow.
Anti-Infective
Plaque
buildups are often associated with secondary and bacterial infections, such as
hepatitis C and Chlamydia pneumonia. Pomegranates offer a broad
range e of anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties.
Antioxidant
Oxidation
is one of the ways in which blood lipids promote heart disease. The LDL may
increase, but it is harmless as long as it does not oxidize. Pomegranates can
reduce oxidative stress in the blood, which is measured by serum paraoxonase
levels.
