A “Business” Meeting
My friend, Blain, and I planned a “business” meeting tonight to discuss some possible changes to my blog.
Blain and I used to work together at HSPH, so we’d talk everyday, but now that we don’t work in the same building, it was definitely time to catch up. We killed two birds with one stone by meeting for dinner at Shenanigan’s in South Boston.
Shenanigan’s is literally a 2-minute walk from my apartment, so I was glad to finally have the chance to check it out. It was funky inside!
The food was pretty good too! 
I had planned to skip the alcohol tonight, but it’s not every night that I go out with an old friend, so I splurged on a Harpoon Octoberfest. (I need a serious detox SOON! 
)
Then, I munched on a roll from the bread basket. As Jenna would say: No carb left behind! 
For dinner, I ordered the house salad with honey mustard on the side for dipping.
The salad was loaded with fresh veggies and the BEST croutons ever!
Here I am with the webmaster himself!

Pomegranates can reduce inflammation! That’s huge for me since I’ve battled Rheumatoid Arthritis AND Fibromyalgia for the past few years. I’m MUCH better now because of my change to a much, much healthier lifestyle but I still try to keep that inflammation down in my body.
Thanks for a fantabulous contest!!!

on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
I learned that.. “POM has a superior ability to prevent LDL cholesterol from being oxidized by free radicals” and I was surprised it was superior to Cherry juice! I’ve been hearing so much about Cherry Juice, but it’s good to see facts and numbers. I’ll be getting more pomegranates/pomegranate juice from now on!
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:27 pm

I’ve been dying to try a pomegranate since you went on the POM tour! Unfortunately, I’m a poor law student and can’t afford them…until now!
I am always trying to get more antioxidants, and these look like a beautiful way to get them…especially dying to try your POM french toast recipe!
thanks so much!!
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
I was surprised to read that POM lowers LDL!
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
POM contains the antioxidants called polyphenols which are free-radical scavengers and are known to inhibit LDL oxidation and help decrease inflammation.
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm

on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Having arthritis which can be a bear some days, it was interesting to read that part of its antioxidant benefits can be a reduction in inflamation. Can I bathe in this stuff??!!
No?? Oh well, I think I will enjoy eating and drinking it much more anyway!

on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
superfood!
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I love pommegranates! I looked at some of their studies. One of them showed that POM juice can slightly lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the heart. Although I do think pommegranates are great for you, I am a little skeptical of the studies: they had very few participants (like 10 for many of them!), they were sponsored by POM and not independent researchers, and it isn’t clear if they were double blind! Nonetheless, I like the stuff and I know it’s good for me. Just pointing out the potential biases.
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
they are loaded with antioxidants & neutralize free radicals!
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I already knew this, but it is a nice reminder:

on Nov 11th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Antioxidants, antioxidants, antioxidants! So good! Not to mention delicious taste.
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
I got such a kick out of the POM website’s health section – I’m a science grad student, and they definitely didn’t hold back from sharing the research, down to the scientific terms
My favorite was: “Pomegranates have shown activity against the cytokine NF-κB and the MAP kinases JNK and ERK, which are critical steps in the cascade of events leading to inflammation” — I actually work in a lab that works on NF-κB, so I loved that they wrote about that
I’d love to know more about how pomegranates do that!
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
I’m impressed that it has more antioxidants than a glass of red wine!
on Nov 11th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Apparently POM can improve erectile function! that’s news to me.

One health benefit of pomegranates is that their antioxidants have the ability to prevent LDL cholesterol from being oxidized by free radicals. Cool!

POMs have protective effects against oxidative stress. I also learned that the POM site is high jargon! sheesh.

Pomegranates have an extremely high amount antioxidants, which leads to decreased inflammation….in a gerontology course I’m taking right now, I’m learning about the association between antioxidants and decreased arterial plaque
on Nov 12th, 2009 at 1:30 am
Pomegranate juice has the ability to prevent LDL (the BAD) cholesterol from being oxidized by free radicals and causing plaques in our arteries, pom’s are truly wonder fruits!

Phytochemicals, need I say more? I think the best health benefit is that once you have gotten through the hassle of seeding a pomegranate, you are left with pure deliciousness, making it an easy way to get good antioxidants.
on Nov 12th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Good ol’ antioxidants. I haven’t bought a pomegranate in ages – perhaps that will have to change?

POM Wonderful juicing process presses the whole fruit, so the bulk of the nutrients of the pomegranate remain in the juice. It is naturally packed with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and since pomegranates are not always available at the market, it’s the perfect way to have pomegranates in your diet year round.
