Pomegranates are not just good for your physical body because they are also known to be beneficial in maintaining your mental and emotional health. Pomegranates contain phytochemical compounds that stimulate estrogen receptors and serotonin production therefore improving your mood.
Researchers from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh conducted a study and they found out that the 60 volunteers who drank 500ml of pomegranate juice daily for two weeks had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone is released by the adrenal gland as a response to stress. Excessive levels of cortisol can lead to high blood pressure and insulin resistance.
