Pomegreat Original
Women who follow a preconception diet are laying the foundations for the best possible health outcome for their baby. News that by simply enjoying a glass of Pomegreat daily is reassuring, as they will be following the advice of the Food Standards Agency to include folic acid rich foods in their diet.
Pomegranate, with its many seeds is the traditional representation of fertility, make the juice of this nutritious fruit ideal for women wishing to fall pregnant. With folic acid being one of the most important vitamins a woman should take when trying to conceive, it is no wonder that there are new calls for women of child-bearing age to up their intake (1). A convenient and healthy step in the right direction, for those who lack this essential nutrient in their diet, is simply to drink Pomegreat, the UK’s leading pomegranate juice.
Registered Nutritionist Carina Norris says; "Many people nowadays strive to have a balanced diet and in some cases they do manage it. But across the country for varied reasons many individuals are simply vitamin and mineral deficient. A glass of pomegranate juice such as this one, that has been fortified with Folic Acid, is an ideal way for mums-to-be to supplement their diet. I’m sure most people would rather drink a glass of nutritious juice than have to try and incorporate a number of other foods into their diet, in what can be an already stressful time for some.”
Many couples opt for supplementation during the preconception period, but many leave it too late or conceive accidentally. This relates to the recent recommendations from the Scottish Spina Bifada Association which states that there has been an increase in the cases of babies with Spina Bifida. Their recommendation is now encouraging all sexually active women to increase their intake of folic acid even if they are not planning on starting a family.
Pomegranate juice is well known for its numerous health benefits, but its prevalence in this case is particularly effective, as research suggests that it could also help sperm mobility (2). A step in the right direction for both women and men is Pomegreat. A balanced diet is hard to achieve for many reasons and this simple addition can take the worry away.
