Drinking pomegranate juice may help lower infections in kidney patients on dialysis, claims a new study presented at the American Society of Nephrology’s meeting in Denver.Pomegranates and pomegranate juice have been linked to reduced risk of atherosclerosis, the hardening of blood vessels leading to cardiovascular disease.
Researchers found patients drinking a few cups of pomegranate juice every week lowered their chances of infections.
According to data, among 50 patients drinking pomegranate juice for one year, roughly two would need to go to the hospital at least twice, compared to patients not drinking pomegranate juice; 11 patients would require a trip to the hospital.
In the study, 101 patients were randomly assigned to drink a beverage with or without pomegranate juice. After drinking a half cup of juice over a year, participants drinking the pomegranate juice had fewer inflammatory molecules in their blood.
Pomegranates are a known source of antioxidants. Antioxidants have been proven to decrease the risk of cancer.
The intrigue surrounding the health benefits of pomegranates has lead to twenty-three clinical trials being ordered in 2010 on pomegranates effectiveness in against prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease, lymphoma, the common cold, and other maladies.
