Has strong antiflammatory properties
Rhubarb juice has strong antiflammatory properties, making it a powerful weapon in the fight against disease. The humble rhubarb plant has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of ailments. Now, science is catching up to what ancient healers have known all along.
Studies have shown that compounds in juice can inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines. This means that drinking it can help to reduce inflammation throughout the body.
Builds bone strength
A new study has found that the high levels of vitamin K in it could help to improve bone health. The study looked at a group of postmenopausal women and found that those who drank two cups of juice per day for six months had higher levels of bone-building proteins in their blood than those who did not drink the juice.
Lead researcher said that the findings could have important implications for the prevention of osteoporosis, a condition which affects millions of people around the world. She said that further research is needed to confirm the findings, but that drinking rhubarb juice could be a simple and effective way to improve bone health.
