Hence, if you wish to keep dementia at bay, it might be good to start including pomegranates in your grocery list. <\/p>\n<p>In instances where you have diarrhea, you can use pomegranate juice to alleviate your condition. Of course, this means that under normal conditions, pomegranate juice could make you a little constipated. So you might have to couple your consumption of pomegranates with something that encourages bowel movements, such as prunes (i.e. dried plums). <\/p>\n<p><b>References<\/b><br \/>\n[1] Collins, Elise Marie. <i>An A-Z Guide to Healing Foods: A Shopper&#8217;s Companion<\/i>.
