Description
Figs and Pomegranates are more than just sugar bombs. The earliest Jews cultivated and venerated the pomegranate and the fig from time immemorial. Pomegranate art has been found in Jericho, one of the world’s oldest cities, dating from before Jews existed. Belief in the powerful properties of figs and pomegranates, and their depictions in art, have abounded since prehistory. The pomegranate really does have some medicinal properties. For one thing, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, in Bethesda, Maryland, reported that pomegranate juice prevents gut leakiness and liver inflammation. Scientists in India have demonstrated that pomegranate juice kills bacteria that cause dental plaque.
People have used figs to help treat health conditions related to the endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory systems, as well as the digestive tract. Dry figs have been proven to control cholesterol. They are rich in a soluble fiber called pectin, that is known for reducing cholesterol levels. “Figs and Pomegranates” is a hand-painted digital image and photo composite created in Spadecaller’s Florida Studio on 2/14/2021.
