Pomegranate is one of the fruits that are human friendly and provides our skin with natural nutrients and substances. Its botanical name is Punica granatum and originated from Persia and now it is cultivated throughout the world including California and other states of U.S.

Let us discuss how pomegranate works?

Before we discuss how pomegranate works, first we should know what does a pomegranate contain? A pomegranate is rich in vitamin C, nutrients and minerals with adequate energy. It is a natural and potent antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that donates its electrons.

Our skin is a complex chemical machine that processes thousands of chemical reactions 24 hours a day. During these chemical reactions, free radicals are produced as a byproduct of chemical reactions. These radicals are atoms that are hungry for electrons and destruct body cells to get them. Antioxidants throw their electrons to fulfill their hunger. When free radicals get their required electrons they become stable and discharge from the body through urination.

When free radicals accumulate in our body they trigger the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum. When more sebum is produced, it clogs the hair follicles and as a result acne flares up and other skin disorders take place.

So antioxidants are essential for your body and skin to be fresh and healthy. As pomegranate is an excellent antioxidant, eat as much pomegranate as you can digest easily and form a balanced part of your daily diet.

Vitamin C in Pomegranates:

Pomegranate is a good source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for natural skin growth and freshness of skin. Pomegranate helps absorb iron through the intestine. Vitamin C regulates sebum production and growth of the cells and hair follicles.

Iron in Pomegranate:

Iron is a constituent part of hemoglobin that helps absorb the oxygen. If your blood does not contain enough hemoglobin, you may have anemia or iron deficiency. Anemia greatly affects your overall skin texture and color. It is obvious that skin cells are nourished by blood when they carry nutrients. If blood is weak and has no sufficient hemoglobin to absorb oxygen, the skin cells will be deprived of oxygen. As a result skin will turn pale and unsmooth having acne and wrinkles.

Pomegranates are rich in iron and builds hemoglobin. It is observed that continuous use of hemoglobin makes your skin smooth, fresh, supple and gives fair complexion.

How can I use pomegranate?

You can drink its juice and apply it over the skin to ensure vitamins and nutrients requirements. If you have cut or wound on your skin, do not apply on it unless you consult your doctor.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate is a gift from the nature for us to care our skin and provides required and essential nutrients. Drink or munch the pomegranate regularly, you will notice in a few weeks that you are having your skin fresh, supple, smooth and healthy.
