8. Reduces cholesterol

Pomegranate can reduce platelet aggregation—mini blot clots which slow down blood flow—and ‘bad' LDL cholesterol levels. High cholesterol causes a buildup of plaque on the artery walls, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. One study showed that uptake of LDL was reduced by 20% following pomegranate juice supplementation. Additionally, atherosclerotic lesions were reduced in size by 44%. The study concluded that pomegranate juice has powerful anti-atherogenic effects because of their potent antioxidative properties.
