Many of us have tasted red wine and may have heard about its benefits in protecting the heart by reducing fat deposition. Observations of the French population and coupled with biochemical research point heavily on the substance called RESVERATROL as the bio-active principle. Many have taken a keen interest on the potential health benefits of polyphenols and RESVERATROL in red wine. What we know now is that polyphenols and resveratrol achieve high concentrations if red wine goes to fermentation, but it does not need to be; these bioactive substances are naturally present in Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cupsidatum) and pomegranate (Punica granatum). Commercially prepared resveratrol comes from the Japanese knotweed. They sometimes call resveratrol as the exercise pill or capsule because of its ability to achieve weight reduction. While many may not be able to drink red wine daily as the French people do, we could find pomegranate as an alternative. Resveratrol is no considered to have a very high potential as anti-cancer.
I happen to see a good source of pomegranate in Market Market, Bonifacio Global City (http://www.ayalamalls.com.ph/content/market_market.asp). Just stroll by the fruit section and you will probably find good fruits such as the very nutritious and medicinal pomegranate. More recently, I saw some in Shopewise Alabang.
If you like preparing the wonder juice, just take out the seeds and put them in a blender and turn it on in burst of cycles, a few cycles would do so as not to destroy the seeds and make your juice a bit bitter. Pour the blend into a strainer to separate the seeds and you have the pomegranate juice which is rich in polyphenols and of course, RESVERATROL.

BAD BREATH MAY BE CAUSED BY BACTERIA IN THE STOMACH OR JUST THE MOUTH (USUALLY DENTAL CARIES). MINT LEAVES CHEWED AFTER MEALS CAN HELP.
AS FOR DARK UNDERARM, KALAMANSI JUICE APPLIED ON THE ARMPIT REGULARLY WILL HELP LIGHTEN THE SKIN.
