(PTI) Researchers at the University of Edinburgh found that the superfruit not only cuts high blood pressure, it also reduces the fat stored round the stomach — the main cause of heart diseases and strokes among middle-aged people.
In their experiment, the researchers gave 500ml of pomegranate juice to 24 men and women every day for four weeks.
After just one month, the volunteers were found to be less likely to develop fatty cells around their abdomen and had much lower blood pressure, the Daily Mail reported.
The researchers found that nearly half of all volunteers had much lower levels of fatty acid in their blood, known as nonesterified fatty acid or NEFA.
