Benefits of Pomegranate

1. Aids digestion

Like other fruits, pomegranates are rich in vitamins. Compared with common apples, the vitamin content in pomegranates is twice as high as that in apples and more than twice as high as that in pears. Therefore, in terms of nutritional value, pomegranates are much higher than common apples and pears in autumn.

In addition, pomegranates are rich in organic acids, which can help us effectively digest food in the stomach and promote better absorption of the nutrients in these foods by the human body. Therefore, when indigestion occurs in autumn, you might as well try the more nutritious pomegranate.

2. Clear away heat and reduce fire

With the arrival of autumn, in addition to the cooler weather, there is another notable feature, that is, people always feel dry in autumn, which is manifested by dry skin, itchy and tearful eyes, etc. This is because the water content in the air decreases in autumn, causing people to often feel dry in autumn.

So in addition to the above-mentioned phenomena, there may also be symptoms such as dry and itchy throat, lung heat cough, and nosebleeds due to internal heat.

Many people would say that eating pomegranates will cause internal heat. In fact, this really does an injustice to pomegranates, because it is guava, not pomegranates, that causes internal heat, and pomegranates can actually reduce internal heat.

Pomegranate has the effect of moistening the lungs and promoting salivation. After eating pomegranate, the originally thirsty mouth will feel moisturized, which has a good thirst-quenching effect. If you get a sore throat in autumn, you might as well eat some pomegranate to relieve the heat.

Autumn is the season when all kinds of food are on the market in large quantities. Although there are many choices for people to eat, if they eat too much, they have to consider that some foods may contain some parasites, especially as seafood continues to come on the market, people like to eat seafood very much.

Parasites in seafood are something that needs attention. Although high temperatures will kill most of the parasites in seafood during cooking, there will still be a small amount of parasites and bacteria remaining, posing a potential threat to human health.

The flesh of pomegranate is rich in nutrients, but the whole pomegranate is a treasure.
