Pomegranates Pack A Powerful Punch

Pomegranates are packed with a an immune boosting, cancer fighting ? punch!
Functional medicine is built on the belief that all ‘dis-ease’ begins in the gut. If our microbiome, or gut bacteria ? population is out of balance and a specific bacteria is taken over, then we may experience illness and an imbalance in our health.
Akkermansia muciniphila make up 1-3 % of all bacteria in our gut, but this particular bacteria has a huge impact on our overall wellness, so if it has been overtaken by say e.g. candida then our immune system won’t function at its best. Akkermansia:

helps control immune system

improves blood glucose metabolism

decreases gut inflammation

combats obesity

In 2015, researchers found that Akkermansia is one of the key healthy gut bacteria present in the gut and with this bacteria, and patients with this bacteria are more likely to respond to their cancer treatment than those who don’t have it. Pomegranates are high in bioactives that promote growth of Akkermansia!
