The History of Its Use
Pomegranates grow from a tree, tending to sprout its delicious fruits in early spring as the temperatures warm up again. The tree is native to Iran, originally found in the popular Himalayas. The fruit was originally popular and widespread in many regions of India around the 1400’s.
The pomegranate was used for many religious ceremonies in the past and was also widely cited in the Old Testament of the Bible. This religious affiliation is what’s responsible for the fruit’s name the “divine fruit”. The Egyptians revered it in their mythology, the Babylonian’s in the Talmud, and the Jews in the Torah. Surprisingly enough, the fruit wasn’t so much praised for its eating quality, but rather for its potent pink color that appeared regal to the eye of the beholder. This deemed the fruit acceptable for use as a decoration in many ceremonies.
When the Spanish Conquistadores hopped on over to the Americas, they brought over the pomegranate fruit. Eventually, in the 1700’s, the fruit was found growing on the opposite side of the country.

Pomegranate in the Body
As one can see, this pink powerhouse is a miracle worker. For example, it has an extremely high number of antioxidants called polyphenols. Polyphenols lower the “bad” cholesterol and promote the “good” cholesterol. Furthermore, they lower blood pressure levels. They do so by thinning the blood. These two benefits work wonders when it comes to keeping the heart healthy. Too much “bad” cholesterol can lead to plaque-filled arteries, which cause heart attack.
Additionally, pomegranates are high in fiber. A high fibrous food aids proper digestion and leaves the sensation of feeling full for longer. This fullness trick helps with weight loss as well.
Even more incredible, pomegranates have ellagitannins. These powerful little molecules have been found to prevent the formation of cancer cells. Moreover, scientists have observed them causing currently living cancer cells to die.

They do so by promoting collagen and elastin. Furthermore, seed from the oil in the fruit has been found to cure eczema. Their anti-inflammatory properties help with acne-prone skin and even rosacea.
