Pomegranate is helpful in preventing Coronary Artery Disease Progression.
A study published in the journal Atherosclerosis confirms that pomegranate extract may prevent and/or reverse the primary pathology associated with cardiac mortality.
Mice with a genetic susceptibility towards spontaneous coronary artery blockages was given pomegranate extract through their drinking water for two weeks, beginning at three weeks of age. Although pomegranate treatment increased cholesterol levels associated with very low density lipoprotein-sized particles, this treatment both reduced the proportion of coronary arteries with occlusive atherosclerotic plaques and reduced the size of the atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic sinus (the dilated opening above the aortic valve).
The research further found that pomegranate extract treatment resulted in the following benefits:-
1 Reduce cardiac enlargement
2 Reduce ECG abnormalities
3 Reduce macrophage infiltration in the heart muscle
4 Reduce levels of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and fibrosis in myocardium
5 Reduce monocytie chemotactic protein-1, a chemical messenger associated with inflammatory processes within the arteries.
6 Reduce lipid accumulation in the heart muscle
7 Reduce levels of oxidative stress
Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling says that vitamin C deficiency is a fundamental cause of cardiovascular disease, owing to the fact that our hominid primate ancestors once had year-round access to fruits, and as a result lost the ability to synthesize it. A lack of adequate quantities of certain foods (fruits in particular) may directly result in deteriorating organ function.
