Powerful Pomegranate

Pomegranates are super.  I bet you don't eat enough pomegranate.  It's not necessarily a fruit you think of grabbing at the store and it can sometimes be difficult to find.  However, POM juice can be found most everywhere and its worth picking some up.

Pomegranate juice is a rich source of phytochemical compounds shown to benefit the heart and blood vessels. It not only lowers cholesterol, but lowers blood pressure and increases the speed at which heart blockages (atherosclerosis) melt away.

Not only are pomegranates good for your heart and blood vessels but they have been shown to inhibit breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, leukemia and to prevent vascular changes that promote tumor growth.

Pomegranates' potent antioxidant compounds have also been shown to reduce platelet aggregation and naturally lower blood pressure, factors that prevent both heart attacks and strokes.3 Pomegranates contain high levels of flavonoids and polyphenols, potent antioxidants offering protection against heart disease and cancer. A glass of pomegranate juice has more antioxidants than red wine, green tea, blueberries, and cranberries

Pomegranate juice has also been found to contain phytochemical compounds that stimulate serotonin and estrogen receptors, improving symptoms of depression and improving bone mass.

INDI'S - A LOVE AFFAIR

Like fried chicken?  Good golly I sure do.  Growing up, fried chicken was consistently being served somewhere, or at someones house, or at church, or at home.  Trust me, I know fried chicken.

You Gotta Eat:

INDI'S FAST FOOD
1033 W. Broadway
502 589 7985

Its tasty...and cheap.

On a recent visit, we got two snacker boxes which includes two pieces of chicken and a side order.  You can upgrade and get breast for 50cents extra.  For the sides we went with mac n cheese and broccoli casserole.  We also picked up the Keel for an extra 2.75.  The Keel is the most tasty part of the chicken.  All white meat and flavorful.  Indi's also has some great hot sauce for 27cents.  On this visit we got 4.
Good meal, better than the other well known chicken in town, and definitely a lot cheaper. 

Don't be turned off by where this place is located.  Its well worth the trip.

Get some..........
