Pomegranates

Sweet and juicy pomegranates have edible seeds. They include plant polyphenols and nitrates, which help increase blood oxygen levels and are an excellent source of a number of important nutrients. Pomegranates can be consumed raw, made into juice to boost antioxidant levels, or added to salads.

Healthy carbs and dietary fiber may be found in 100g of pomegranate rubies. It also contains significant amounts of choline, iron, copper, and zinc, all of which help to improve blood flow and oxygen levels. Ingesting 1,000 mg of pomegranate extract 30 minutes before exercise enhanced blood flow, blood vessel diameter, and exercise performance, according to one research involving 19 highly active people. Another study found that drinking 17 ounces (500 ml) of pomegranate juice daily while or before weight training helped top weightlifters feel less discomfort, muscle damage, and inflammation.
