Joyce - Here is your ArcaMax The You Docs Ezine,

A Heart Tonic in the Product Aisle

Have you noticed the shift in colors at the produce aisle? Tawny-skinned cantaloupes have given way to dark-red pomegranates, which are at their peak now. Don't save these apple-shaped fruits for festive centerpieces. There's a substance (punicic acid) in their juicy seeds that is reputed to send triglycerides -- dangerous fats in your blood vessels -- packing. True, even during a holiday blowout you're not likely to eat the seeds of 24 pomegranates twice a day, which is roughly what it would take to match the pomegranate oil supplements that produced these benefits in one new study. But the more you munch, the better, since they also are reported to help fight infection, cool inflammation, keep your skin firm and springy, and dive-bomb cancer cells. So once the centerpiece has done its job, crack open your pomegranates and sprinkle those glossy, ruby-colored seeds on salads, mix them into yogurt, and add them to quinoa or oatmeal. Never peeled a pomegranate before? Here's how to release the sweet-tart seeds without getting red all over. Score the leathery outer peel, submerge the whole fruit in a bowl of water, and break it into pieces. The whitish pith will float to the surface, where you can easily skim it off. Pour the rest into a colander, and the seeds are ready to pop in your mouth. If any are left over (unlikely), refrigerate or freeze for later. ======== The YOU Docs -- Mike Roizen and Mehmet Oz -- are authors of the best-selling "YOU: The Owner's Manual" and "YOU: On a Diet."
