Fondness for pomegranate may improve glycemic control in adults.
This study looked at the impact of dietary ingestion of pomegranate on markers of glycemic control, such as haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting insulin, and blood glucose. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis on data and evidence extracted from 32 randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Researchers observed an appreciable reduction in haemoglobin A1c, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance, and fasting blood glucose levels among lovers of pomegranate. "Overall, the results demonstrated that pomegranate consumption benefits glycemic indices in adults," the authors concluded.
