Pomegranate Juice, a Natural Way to Lower Cholesterol and Blood Pressure?

One of the major risk factors for heart disease that most of us are aware of is cholesterol. We see commercials on television for cholesterol lowering meds, advertisements in magazines and education materials everywhere we turn urging us to lower our cholesterol.

I have to admit that I used to get just a bit impatient with all the ads and hype about cholesterol. It seemed a bit like overkill. That is, I felt like that until I started writing about women’s heart issues and understood the very serious nature of heart disease as it relates to our future longevity.

Since longevity and beating the odds on heart disease sounds like a good thing to me, I’m always on the lookout for anything that will help all of us sisters keep from being one of the statistics on heart disease. I came across an interesting string of articles about pomegranates and their beneficial impact in lowering blood cholesterol. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never eaten a Pomegranate. In fact, I’m not really certain that I’ve ever seen a pomegranate down at the local grocery store but if it could help lower my cholesterol levels, I wanted to know more.
