Pomegranate is a fruit i think of when I think of the Apple in the Garden of Eden I use pomegranate as a natural aromatase inhibitor preventing testosterone conversion to estrogens. A recent study, he use of pomegranate was studied to control appetite.
Appetite control is an important factor involved in successful dietary treatments for obesity. Antioxidant polyphenols have been studied as potential complementary approaches to manage obesity. Pomegranate (Punica granatum, Lythraceae) juice, which is high in polyphenols, may play a role in preventing obesity and protecting against atherosclerosis, hypertension, cancer, and type 2 diabetes mellitus There have been other studies using other herbs for appetite control In this study pomegranate extract (PE) Pomanox® P30 and pomegranate juice (PJ) PomeGreat® were used
After readng the study in the American Botnaical Council HerbalGram , the authors note that the mechanisms underlying the potential effect of the PE extract on satiety are unclear, although the role of pomegranate polyphenols in suppressing appetite has been reported to be similar to that of the appetite suppressant sibutramine.
Thus pomegranate can be useful is helping saiety
Until tomorrow…
