Rospotrebnadzor advised Novgorod residents to choose the most weighty fruits of pomegranate

Pomegranate is considered one of the most useful autumn fruits that can support the body during the cold season. This bright fruit has long earned the reputation of a natural multivitamin complex. However, you need to use it wisely, reminded the press service of the Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the Novgorod region.

Pomegranate and products of its processing have a pronounced anti-inflammatory, antitumor and hypotensive effect. These fruits have a beneficial effect on the work of the heart, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, as well as the genitourinary and endocrine systems.

Thanks to powerful natural antioxidants, the fruit improves the condition of the skin and oral cavity. In the pulp is concentrated a whole complex of vitamins and nutrients. Ascorbic acid, rutin and B vitamins strengthen immunity, make blood vessels more elastic and support the nervous system. The high content of fiber, tannins and organic acids allows the use of pomegranates as a prevention of food poisoning.

The rich chemical composition makes pomegranate a universal component of a healthy diet. According to the expert, vitamin C helps fight inflammation and strengthens immunity, and vitamins B6 and B12 establish metabolic processes and improve the condition of the skin. Rutin reduces capillary fragility, fiber cleanses the body and enhances intestinal motility, and organic acids are involved in cellular respiration.

Anthocyanins give special value to the fruit, which not only stain grains red, but also protect the body from premature aging and oncology. The complex of minerals supports vascular tone and the work of the heart muscle, and iron serves as a reliable prevention of anemia. With low hemoglobin, the doctor recommends drinking juice diluted with water in a ratio of one to two.

In cooking, pomegranate grains are perfectly complemented by salads, second dishes and desserts, and dried peels can be brewed along with tea. Freshly squeezed juice is often called the elixir of youth.

Choosing a fruit in the store, you should pay attention to the peel: it should be dry, without brown spots, with a uniform color and a light glossy shine. The most juicy and tasty pomegranates are always weighty, since they have more juice and almost no internal voids.
