The juice from a pomegranate offers some of the worlds most powerful antioxidants. In fact, studies show that pomegranate juice has more antioxidants than other known antioxidant drinks such as red wine, green tea, blueberry juice, cranberry juice and orange juice. In addition, there are some studies that suggest pomegranate juice my help in the treatment of prostate cancer and may prevent some brain injuries in babies. Not bad for a fruit that many people are not that familiar with.

The Cancer Research

After skin cancer, prostate cancer is next as the cause of cancer death among men in the United States. A recent study at UC Los Angeles found that drinking pomegranate juice helped fight prostate cancer. The study was performed on 48 men with recurrent prostate cancer. Half of the men drank 8 ounces of pomegranate juice a day and the other half did not drink any pomegranate juice. The men that drank the juice were able to go 37 months before symptoms reappeared, the non-juice drinkers only went 15 months without symptoms. This study was small and is certainly not the final word on the subject. However, the research is promising and certainly warrants giving some consideration to adding pomegranate juice to your diet.

Brain Injury Research

A new study on mice conducted by the University of Washington School of medicine in St. Louis could hold promise for expectant mothers at risk of premature birth. Pomegranate juice may help their babies resist brain injuries from low oxygen and reduced blood flow associated with premature birth. The phenomenon, which is called hypoxia ischemia, causes brain injury in approximately 2 of every 1,000 full-term human births.

In this latest study, researchers temporarily lowered brain oxygen levels and brain blood flow in baby mice whose mothers drank water mixed with concentrated pomegranate juice, their brain tissue loss was reduced by 60 percent in comparison to mice whose mothers ingested other liquids.

Sadly my wallet doesn’t stretch far enough to allow me to indulge in the luxury of first class and rarely business class. So like the majority of other travellers I’m stuck in cattle class where comfort and lavish cuisine are disappointingly not the top priority for an airline. On a recent trip to Australia I experienced the full pleasures of Economy class with 23 hours of air time twice in two weeks! I’m sure anyone that has ventured farther a field than Europe has experienced the joys of airline food.

The small pre-packaged arrangement that arrives on your tray is not the most appealing of three course meals. Hopefully by now you’ve managed to throw back a few alcoholic beverages to lessen the concern about its appearance, and what it actually contains. I know that after landing I felt a little worse for wear but I don’t know how much of this was to do with being stuck in my seat for far too long, the jet lag or infact the four airline meals that had been the only thing to pass my lips all day. Well, as ever I did a little research to find out what is going on.

To get the situation into perspective there are a lot of these meals produced per day. Infact British Airways uses about 80,000 daily, that’s over 29 million per year just for a single carrier! It is an enormous number and goes some way to explaining why everything is ordered, labelled and completely pre packed, the logistics must be a nightmare. And I must say credit is due as I didn’t actually think a few of my meals were all that bad. Infact there was a beef dish that I really quite liked!

To get to the bottom of the health impact though it’s important to understand the physical affects that flying has on your body and the consequences of sitting in a confined space for hours on end. Apart from the obvious like DVT, the digestive system also takes a hard knock. The air pressure inside a plane is equivalent to being on top of a mountain 2200 meters high so your whole body can swell making everything a little uncomfortable and not work particularly well.

It’s known to mountain climbers that eating carbohydrates and reducing protein gives you an advantage when at altitude (your body relies less on fat as an energy source and more on carbs, it’s believed that this makes it easier for oxygen to dissolve in your blood). So this is good advice when selecting your meal too, the carbohydrates will help you feel better and think better. It’s even suggested that you will recover from your jetlag faster too. So instead of the chicken you should probably aim for a light vegetarian pasta or even a salad sandwich.

Another side effect of altitude is that our taste buds don’t work correctly. That means that food tends to taste blander to us than it would if we ate the same meal when on the ground. To counteract this many airline catering firms will add large amounts of salt to try to boost the taste. We all know it’s hard to stay hydrated when flying (all that free booze doesn’t help either!) but adding large amounts of salt certainly doesn’t help. If you (like me) get swollen ankles when you have a long flight this could be an attributing factor. It’s good to know though that many airlines offer reduced salt meals. Like all other special meals you need to order them ahead of time, typically a day or two before your flight but it’s a good idea to make the effort if you can.
