What are the benefits of drinking pomegranate juice

Autumn is the season for eating pomegranates. Pomegranates can be divided into red and pink pomegranates, agate pomegranates and green pomegranates, and the taste is sweet, sweet and sour, and sour. Pomegranates contain more vitamins and inorganic salts of calcium, iron and zinc. Among them, vitamin C and vitamin E are higher than apples and pears. Red and pink pomegranates contain high vitamin C, and green pomegranates contain high vitamin E.

Pomegranate is warm, sweet, sour and astringent in nature. It has the effects of promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, killing insects and stopping dysentery. Pomegranate can be eaten directly or squeezed into juice for drinking. Sour pomegranate is very effective in preventing and treating diarrhea, while sweet pomegranate can prevent and treat dry throat and thirst, and can kill insects and inhibit bacteria. Therefore, people with stomatitis and oral mucosal ulcers can gargle with pomegranate juice several times a day to get relief. Pomegranate peel contains malic acid, pomegranate peel alkaloids and tannins. Pomegranate peel alkaloids have an anthelmintic effect. Therefore, for enteritis and bacterial dysentery, fresh pomegranate peels can be washed and boiled in water. However, because it contains tannins, it irritates the stomach and intestinal mucosa and easily causes nausea and vomiting. Therefore, people with chronic gastritis should not drink too much.

A recent preliminary study by the Western Galilee Hospital in Israel found that pomegranates seem to be beneficial for dialysis patients. Dialysis is to remove toxic metabolic products from the body, and it also increases the consumption of nutrients in the body, especially water-soluble vitamins, which will seriously decrease, so vitamin B and vitamin C should be supplemented in time. Pomegranates are rich in these two vitamins, so drinking pomegranate juice during dialysis is beneficial.

How to squeeze pomegranate juice

Ingredients: pomegranate seeds, honey, boiled water, blender, cup, strainer

Production steps

1. Pour the pomegranate seeds and boiled water into a blender and blend for 2 minutes.

2. Filter through a strainer and add a little honey to mix well.

Specific steps:

1. Pick some fresh pomegranates (a Fuji apple-sized pomegranate can produce about 3/2 cup of juice. I usually squeeze about 10 pomegranates, which is quite extravagant because they are made at home. If you buy them, you should consider it yourself.)

2. Go to the supermarket and buy a simple manual push-down juicer. (Usually around 15 yuan, plastic)

3. Peel the pomegranate, remove the seeds and put them in a juicer to squeeze out the juice.

4. Refrigerate and wait for white sediment to sink.

5. Pour out the clear part and throw away the rest (if you can’t bear to discard it, add more honey, otherwise it will be astringent)

6. Add honey and drink it (find a beautiful cup for better effect)
