Pomegranate Power
Is there anything pomegranate juice can’t fix? Recent research suggests that drinking pomegranate juice discourages “bad” cholesterol oxidation that rots arteries, improves blood flow for heart patients and slows cell proliferation in prostate cancer. Now, research also shows that the juice improved erections in 47% of the participants in a small study of men who suffer from mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.
Caution: Pomegranate juice may interact with certain prescription drugs, especially drugs meant to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
