Pomegranates provide an ample supply of vitamin B-complex. This group of water-soluble vitamins includes folic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin. These vitamins help the body convert protein, fat, and carbohydrates into energy properly. One piece of pomegranate fruit can yield up to twenty-five percent of the daily folate requirement and provide approximately eleven grams of fiber. The hefty amount of fiber is incredibly beneficial for the digestive system because it helps food move through the body easily. As a result, constipation, hemorrhoids, and diarrhea are less likely to occur. Pomegranates also help to secrete specific enzymes to improve the overall function of digestion. Mixing honey and pomegranate juice can also alleviate indigestion.
