A Juicy Sip

Another superfruit juice that could do a number on inflammation: pomegranate juice. The ruby-red drink contains a plant compound called ellagic acid that has anti-inflammatory properties. Some research has found that ellagic acid can lessen inflammation in the GI tract to reduce conditions like ulcers, while other research indicates it may have cancer-fighting potential, too, says Mayfield. Though the nutrient is present in fresh pomegranate, the juice is chock-full of it. Again, try not to go overboard on juices; Mayfield recommends sticking to a few ounces daily, max.
