Why is Pomegranate Juice So Expensive?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explains why you should drink more pomegranate juice. As you may remember I shared the simple way to peel a pomegranate a couple of years ago. Click here to read how to peel a pomegranate Now Dr Fitness found research that says drinking pomegranate juice is also good for you – surprise surprise. Pomegranate juice is expensive but it is antioxidant rich and has been shown to inhibit some cancers. The fruit is only available a few months out the year in the late fall – early winter. So if you want your pomegranate fix year round then the juice is pretty much the only way to go. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Smart Snacking

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of their favorite snacks. Snacking can blow up your diet faster than you can say Ben and Jerry. So when you choose a snack to eat during that mid morning or mid afternoon lull go for something that is nutrient rich but not too filling. Remember, a snack is just a little something to take the edge off your hunger pang until your next meal. Some good easy, quick and healthy snacks are: apple slices with peanut butter; a handful of almonds, walnuts or edamames; dried fruit; rolled up turkey with a bit of avocado or some hummus with carrots.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explains the truth about laxatives. There are two kinds of laxatives used to relieve constipation – oral and rectal. Some people think that laxatives can be used for weight loss to help you cleanse your system. They really aren’t meant for this kind of use or any kind of long term use. A better way is to eat more fiber and drink more water. But if you are going to use a laxative pick a fiber supplement that is gentler on your body. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
