Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks, and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about Pomegranates. Pomegranates are a great fruit option for winter! They are packed full of antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and benefit brain and heart health. Research shows that they are potentially cancer-fighting and may be a helpful tool for exercise energy and recovery. Pomegranates are also excellent for immune and gut health due to their high fiber content. Add some to your salad, smoothie bowl, yogurt, or as a quick snack with nuts. The nutrition facts show that the juice may not offer the full health benefits, so go for the full-fruit option! Like what you're hearing?
