Tart Treat Supercharges Your Metabolism
Gut health affects FAR more than digestion.
It impacts your immune system, mood, skin, and more.
In fact, microbiome disruptions have even been linked to heart disease and cancer.
There’s even one gut bacterium that’s a powerful ally to your metabolism.
And you’ll boost its levels when you snack on this delicious superfruit.
The bacterium Akkermansia helps control insulin, lowering your risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
One of the best ways to help ensure there’s plenty of this friendly gut bug on board is to eat pomegranates.
A study found that volunteers who drank pomegranate extract had a significant increase in Akkermansia levels.
And another confirmed that 72 percent of participants who took a pomegranate extract experienced increased levels of this beneficial gut bug.
This is because pomegranates contain polyphenols called ellagitannins which stimulate Akkermansia growth.
If you’re not a fan of the mildly tart taste of pomegranates, you can obtain ellagitannins from a number of other foods, including…
- raspberries,
- strawberries,
- walnuts,
- pecans,
- and almonds.
Plus, with all of these tasty foods you’ll also be getting a healthy dose of urolithin A.
This “bonus” compound removes damaged or weak mitochondria, reduces excessive inflammatory responses, and can help prevent harmful plaque from building up in your brain.
So, go ahead and trust your gut… boost your metabolism with Akkermansia starting TODAY.
