Pomegranate Nutrition and Prostate Health
Nutrition is what makes one healthy and full of energy. Without it, one would be living in lethargy and ill health. Many well know that the primary source of nutrition is food. But not any food, though. One has to be mindful of what they eat and make sure that they get the proper nutrition. Among the best sources of essential nutrients are fruits and vegetables. Speaking of fruit nutrition, one may think of pomegranate nutrition. There have been studies, although on a limited scale, of the benefits of pomegranate nutrition on prostate health. That is, pomegranate is said to stall the progression of prostate cancer.
This conclusion on the efficacy of pomegranate nutrition was derived from a test on 50 prostate cancer sufferers. This study had been cited by a UCLA report and it stated that daily pomegranate nutrition from its juice may stop the recurrence of prostate cancer. For these patients, the prostate specific antigen or PSA doubles after surgery or radiation therapy. This exposed them to the risk of dying from the cancer. These patients took 1 glass of pomegranate juice daily. After doing so for some time, the average time for the antigen to double was extended from 15 months to 54 months.
