  Red and purple fruits like pomegranates, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries owe their reddish-purple skin and flavor to polyphenol. They also contain anthocyanins, antioxidants that helps protect tissue from oxidative damage caused by free radicals (potentially damaging substances produced by the body or introduced by environmental toxins). Ellagic acid is another potent antioxidant that is found in the natural sugars in pomegranates: it helps protect arteries from hardening, promotes healthy blood flow and keeps blood sugar levels low.

  POM juice comes in five flavors besides the original: blueberry, cherry, apple, mango and tangerine. Each one is infused with pomegranate. If you like you can incorporate POM juice into a cocktail or a smoothie. There are plenty of recipes on the POM website to help you get your daily dose: POM products can even be incorporated into cakes, cookies, sauces for meats or soups. Iced tea and iced coffee are also options.

  To get all the benefits of pomegranate juice you must also have a healthy lifestyle. Exercising at least two to three times a week, eating right, and watching your stress levels all help to boost the power of the healthy antioxidants.
