Introduction

Pomegranate, (Punica granatum L in Latin), belongs to the family Punicaceae which includes only one genus and two species. The tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Pomegranate offers abundant benefits for the cardiovascular system by preventing damage to arterial walls, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing or reversing atherosclerosis.

Pomegranate may benefit people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease. It helps lower after-meal blood sugar levels and protects the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage.

Pomegranate shows promise in killing prostate cancer cells, whether the cells are hormone-sensitive or not. Pomegranate also helped halt the progression of prostate cancer in men who had undergone surgery or radiation for the disease.

Pomegranate may fight the degeneration of joint tissue that leads to painful osteoarthritis, and may protect the brain against oxidative stress-induced changes that can lead to Alzheimer’s. Pomegranate extracts—alone or in combination with the herb gotu kola—help kill the bacteria that contribute to dental plaque, while helping to heal gum disease. Pomegranate also appears to protect the health of the skin and liver.

Seasoned Kale: A Super Healthy Kale Dish

The flex cook show: Episode 11

I think kale is a misunderstood vegetable. It is very easy to cook, and the health benefits are indisputable. Kale’s slightly bitter taste mellows when sautéed. In this dish it is seasoned with cumin, garlic, and peppers, and the nuts impart a sweet taste.
Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 15–20 minutes Serves: 4

2 Tbsp. extra light olive oil
1 bunch fresh kale (strip leaves off stalks, wash, and chop)

For the seasoning:
1 Tbsp. extra light olive oil
1/4 tsp. mustard seeds
3/4 tsp. cumin seeds
5 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
2-4 dried red whole chili peppers (split in half)
1/8 c. macadamia nuts or honey-roasted cashews (or any nut your prefer)
salt to taste

In a large skillet or nonstick sauté pan, heat 2 tbsp oil. Add kale; cover and sauté on a low flame for 6 minutes. Stir kale and increase heat to medium-low (do not cover). Cook till tender, stirring occasionally (about 6-8 minutes).

In the meantime, in a small sauté pan or saucepan, add 1 tbsp oil and mustard seeds; cover and heat over medium-low flame. When the mustard seeds stop sputtering and popping, remove cover and add cumin seeds, garlic, red chili peppers, and nuts, and fry until garlic turns a light golden brown. (Be careful to keep your face a safe distance, as the oil can spatter when adding ingredients.).
When the kale is done, add the seasoning and toss. Salt to taste. Serve with rice.

What’s good for you:
Kale is one of the best sources of beta-carotene, one of the antioxidants believed by many nutrition experts to be a major player in the battle against cancer, heart disease, and certain age-related chronic diseases; kale is also a top source of eye healthy carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. It is unusually high in fiber, which keeps you feeling fuller longer, and is rich in vitamins A, C, and K and calcium.
Cumin seeds are a very good source of iron. They are great for energy and immune functions, help with digestion, and may have ant carcinogenic properties, which help prevent cancer.
Garlic can boost the immune system, lower bad cholesterol levels and raise the good cholesterol, and lower the risk of several common cancers. It is also a good source of vitamins B6 and C.
Flexitarian and vegetarian cooking is extremely healthy. Use these methods to lose weight and maintain a healthy body and lifestyle.

The glycemic index was created by nutritionists and researchers in the 1980s who were looking for a more accurate way to compare carbohydrates of different food groups relative to the conventional method of simply comparing the total number of carbs.

The glycemic index (GI) is an advanced metric for counting carbs. The glycemic load (GL) is an even better metric. It’s helpful for counting carbs, calories, daily caloric intake, daily calorie intake, eating fewer carbs or calories, lowering your calorie intake, fat loss, and weight loss. Quantifying how many carbs in food, drinks. Also consider macronutrients, macros, fat, protein, metabolism, anabolism, catabolism, synthesis, breakdown, deficit, gluconeogenesis, glycolysis, glycogenolysis. It’s important if you have diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease. It looks at things like fructose, galactose, glucose, sugar, glycogen, lactose, calories, kilocalories, monosaccharides disaccharides polysaccharides, starch, and sucrose.
