Rosemary:

  • Antioxidant Properties: Rosemary contains compounds like rosmarinic acid and
    carnosic acid, which act as antioxidants, helping to combat oxidative stress in the body.

    may positively impact cognitive function, potentially enhancing memory and concentration.

Pomegranate:

  • Rich in Antioxidants: Pomegranates are loaded with powerful antioxidants,
    particularly punicalagins and anthocyanins, which help neutralize free radicals and protect cells
    from damage.
  • Heart Health: Pomegranates may contribute to heart health by reducing
    cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, and improving overall cardiovascular function.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Pomegranates have anti-inflammatory effects,
    which can be beneficial for conditions associated with inflammation, contributing to overall
    health.
