Half a cup of the fruit provides fiber among other nutrients which prevents rush of sugar, vitamin B which builds energy and potassium helping regulate the blood pressure.

Candies and sugar have started invading into our lives once again. It all began innocently with a gingerbread house lingering with the red-and-green sprinkle cookies & then enduring with the classroom parties, the candy canes that are used to garnish every wrapped present, and the hot chocolate with marshmallows that lures the kids on these cold days.
The children if keeping this pace would get spiral and sputter by the time Christmas arrives. Yet one doesn’t want to hijack all of the season’s treats. Rather fill their bellies with several vitamins and antioxidants from now on.

The idea is to counteract some of sugar’s negative effects with these nutrients. Antioxidants help in preventing oxidative damage caused by sugar. Magnesium regulates blood sugar and insulin, and vitamin C boosts the immune systems of children. It might not be a perfect solution, but perhaps better than waging a war against holiday treats.
To ensure they are consuming these vitamins and antioxidants, feeding them as many fruits and vegetables is the trick. Pomegranate seeds will lead the way. Kids are generally attracted to anything bright and sparkly, so it is no wonder that they are obsessed with these little seeds. They dump them on every bowl of oatmeal, every serving of yoghurt and in every cup of fizzy water & experiment.

Can these small-size seeds do any large-scale good? Of course, because they are known to fight cancer, improve memory, lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and reduce heart disease. It’s not a wonder they are portrayed as healing fruit in the Bible.
Half a cup of pomegranate seeds provides 3 and 1/2 grams of fiber which is more than twice the amount found in the same serving size of apples. This slows the natural sugar found in the pomegranate the moment it enters the bloodstream of the body, preventing a sugar rush.

The fruit’s vitamins B builds sustained energy. The potassium helps support functioning of the nerve. The antioxidant, such as quercetin, tannins, and anthocyanins, are all heart-friendly and prevents cancer. The vitamin K and iron keeps the blood healthy. Lastly, vitamins C and E, consisting of powerful antioxidants, boosts the immune system and prevents tissues from getting damaged by pollutants, toxins and sugars.
