The powerful antioxidants in a pomegranate can improve memory following surgery according to a study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Many patients experience postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) following surgery with general anesthesia. The study showed that pomegranate supplements could improve cognitive functions post-surgery—especially memory. Another study showed improved memory in adults with mild memory complaints. 32 subjects participated in the study, and only the subjects who drank pomegranate juice for four weeks showed improvement in memory testing and fMRI scans. Pomegranate juice can protect you from developing a memory problem—it even proves effective in preventing the development of Alzheimer's disease due to their potent antioxidant abilities.
