A study by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition stated that pomegranate juice consumption can help to decrease LDL susceptibility and enhances good cholesterol level. Pomegranate extract is beneficial for skin problems. Pomegranate juice comprises frolic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K and minerals like iron and potassium.

螺旋藻的基本介绍
螺旋藻是古老的微生物之一,究竟有多古老了呢?它的微化石已经存在35亿年了。因为在显微镜观察下,它的外形为不分支的丝状,宛如一根盘曲的弹簧,呈青绿色,因此得名螺旋藻。
联合国粮农组织把螺旋藻认定为“2l世纪最理想的食品”,这个来自于30亿年前的老家伙竟然浑身是宝,而且它的价值延续至今,不得不服啊。
螺旋藻的营养价值
蛋白质
螺旋藻异常的包含大量的蛋白质,视乎来源的占净重约55-77%。包含所有必需氨基酸。但与动物蛋白质如肉类、蛋或奶比较,蛋氨酸、半胱氨酸及赖氨酸的分量则较少。若与植物蛋白质比较,如大豆、荚果,则较优越。
脂肪酸
螺旋藻有着丰富的γ次亚麻油酸(GLA)。但是若要获得与1g的月见草油或500mg的琉璃苣油相等分量的γ次亚麻油酸,则要有5-10g的螺旋藻才可。螺旋藻亦提供少量的其他脂肪酸,如α次亚麻油酸(ALA)、亚麻油酸(LA)、十八碳四烯酸(SDA)、二十碳五烯酸(EPA)、二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)及花生四烯酸(AA)。
维生素
螺旋藻包含大量的维生素,如B1(硫胺)、B2(核黄素)、B3(烟酸)、B6(吡哆醇)、B9(蝶醘谷氨酸)、B12(钴胺素)、维生素C、维生素D及维生素E。螺旋藻内维生素B12的生物利用度倍受质疑。有些试验尝试确定维生素B12的存在。[8]当中最闻名的是美国药典使用莱士曼氏乳酸杆菌来试验。使用这种方法的研究指螺旋藻有着生物最低利用的维生素B12。
矿物质
螺旋藻干含很丰富的钾,同时亦含有钙、铬、铜、铁、镁、锰、磷、硒、钠和锌。
光合色素
螺旋藻包含很多色素,如叶绿素a、叶黄素、β胡萝卜素、海胆烯酮、蓝藻叶黄素、玉米黄素、斑蝥黄质、硅藻黄素、3'羟基海胆酮、β隐黄质、颤藻黄质,加上藻胆蛋白的C藻蓝素及异藻蓝素。
就是因为自身资本够硬,所以螺旋藻的涉猎范围非常广,大大小小的毛病螺旋藻都能发挥它的疗效哦。

Spirulina is a naturally occuring algae, which has inhabited the earth for around 3.5 billion years. It has a green-blueish colour, and can be bought as supplement in either power or tablet form to provide outstanding health benefits!
From its staggeringly high protein content to the wealth of micronutrients it contains, spirulina is one of the best superfoods out there.
7 Health Benefits of Spirulina
1. Protein Powerhouse: A single one-ounce serving of spirulina (about 2 tablespoons) packs 16 grams of protein. That’s a huge protein punch! Spirulina also contains all nine essential amino acids needed to build protein, which repair muscle tissue, improve metabolism and prevent hunger.
2. Antioxidant Treasure Trove: Spirulina has an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of over 24,000, which is four times the ORAC score of blueberries! The ORAC score measures the antioxidant concentration in foods.
3. Nutrients Galore: Spirulina powder also contains a wide range of minerals, from iron and calcium to potassium and zinc. Amino acids play a key role in our body's ability to efficiently use these minerals - and spirulina contains all nine essential amino acids!
4. Super Source of Iron: Spirulina gives spinach a run for its money because a one-ounce serving of spirulina provides 44 percent of the daily recommended value (DRV) for iron. Responsible for transporting oxygen-rich blood cells throughout the body, iron from spirulina boosts energy and fights fatigue.
5. May Lower Cholesterol: A 2014 study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture examined the effects of spirulina supplementation on patients with elevated cholesterol. The study found that a dose of one gram of spirulina per day was effective at lowering triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.
6. May Help Lower Blood Sugar: The Journal of Medicinal Food published a study in 2001, which aimed to evaluate the impact of spirulina on patients with type 2 diabetes. Researchers found that dietary supplementation of two grams of spirulina per day helped control blood glucose levels and improve the lipid profiles of the patients.
7. Easy-to-Digest: Since its cell walls have no cellulose, spirulina’s protein is 85-95 percent digestible. This percentage is higher than that of any other common plant! It’s also more digestible than other rich protein sources such as red meat and even soy. Easy-to-digest proteins like spirulina are better assimilated by the body.
Buy the way, always talk to your doctor before taking spirulina, as it has been shown to interact with certain medications and medical conditions. For example, because it may boost the strength of your immune system, it may not be a good choice for people with autoimmune disease.

Pumpkins are mostly known as fun decorations for Halloween, but they also hide a wide array of health benefits in their seeds, like pumpkin seed oil.
Pumpkin seed oil contains significant amount of antioxidants, magnesium and zinc, these two minerals which are important for numerous processes and functions in the body. Magnesium is important for proper functioning of cardiovascular system and zinc takes care of prostate health. They are also a great source for plant based fatty acids, which are essential for human body and need to be obtained from food.
In addition pumpkin seed oil is rich in beta-sitosterol, a compound that helps to block the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is believed to contribute to benign prostatic hyperplasia because of its role in promoting prostate cell proliferation.
When taken on an empty stomach, pumpkin seed oil may also have antiparasitic properties.
