Pomegranate juice has been praised for years for having many health benefits, and now a new study shows that it could potentially ward off a number of complications in kidney disease patients on dialysis. Pomegranate juice is known to be a good source of antioxidants. The patients, who drank the juice during the course of a study in Israel, showed a reduction in both inflammation and damage caused by free radicals. The findings support previous research that has suggested potent antioxidant properties of pomegranate juice. Scientists say in a new release that other research has shown that patients who drank pomegranate juice, showed an improvement in cardiovascular risk factors such as reduced blood pressure, and fewer cardiovascular events. The findings are significant since many kidney disease patients die from infections or cardiovascular-related causes.
