Pomegranate For TTC

Pregnant women listen up.
The womb lining (endometrium) where the actual implant of fertilised eggs takes place almost entirely consists of blood and pomegranates contain high levels of cobalt which is an essential raw material for the synthesis of blood. Cobalt also contributes to the colour of the fruit too.

Why Drink Pomegranate Juice for Womens Fertility Nowadays?

It seems that pomegranates have been looked upon as a natural aphrodisiac and symbol of fertility for thousands of years…so why wouldn’t the scientists of today look at it as a viable option for women trying to get pregnant in today’s world? Here are some of the facts surrounding pomegranate juice for womens fertility and perhaps the reasons you should consider adding this amazing juice to your daily diet.

1. Women require folic acid during pregnancy. It is recommended for women who are trying to conceive and to women expecting a baby, to up their intake of folic acid so that the baby will have an even greater chance of being healthy. Pomegranate juice has a high concentration of folic acid and drinking one single glass per day gives a woman a full day’s supply of folic acid (in one fell swoop!) Pomegranate juice contains folic acid – this is important to note because during times of rapid cell growth and division, the body requires more folic acid in order to keep the body healthy and protect it from developing certain medical conditions. A woman who is pregnant needs all the help she can get in this area!
2. Drinking pomegranate juice for womens fertility can reduce leg cramps in pregnant women. Women who are expecting often experience leg cramps during the night, preventing them from sleeping. By drinking the juice, it’s less likely you’ll have to endure leg cramps (the juice contains a good amount of potassium which is said to reduce the occurrences of leg cramps).
3. Drinking pomegranate juice for womens fertility may also reduce the risk of the infant developing a brain injury due to a lack of blood flow. Pomegranate juice contains anti-inflammatory flavonoids that can help blood vessels remain open and allow the blood to flow properly to all areas of the body. This is vital to ensuring that the baby doesn’t experience a lack of oxygen to the brain and causing potentially serious medical issues.
4. The antioxidants and other wonderful vitamins and nutrients found in the juice of a pomegranate, wine, and berries have been positively linked to preventing the aging process and to potential protection of the brain.

How it is beneficial to Men?

Pomegranate juice may be beneficial for your man's little swimmers, reports a study in Clinical Nutrition. The juice improved markers for fertility in male rats, including motility and sperm count, and decreased the number of abnormal sperm. Antioxidants in pomegranates may guard against damage to the fatty acids in sperm, which are essential for fertility.
