Pomegranate is one of the most delicious fruits to have this season. Plus, it’s full of antioxidants and polyphenols which support cardiovascular and overall health. It’s traditionally used as an aphrodisiac, and studies suggest it can help increase testosterone levels, leading to increased sexual desire. Pile it on while it’s in season!
