GUIDE TO SUPERFOODS: POMEGRANATE

Pomegranate

Its grains are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C is good for the skin, also favoring the formation of collagen, while antioxidants help fight oxidative stress. Phytoestrogens are helpful in case of hormonal imbalances and, thanks to the draining properties, the pomegranate promotes the reduction of excess fluid accumulation, counteracting the sense of swelling and heaviness. It is a fruit with a high amount of iron, and the tannins present have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system.
