An Overview Of The Amazing Cranberry Juice

Cranberry is an evergreen shrub that grows throughout North America. Cranberry has been used for several years by the people of the Native American tribes. They were primarily used for the treatment of the urinary conditions. Not just the fruit, the juice and also the extracts were being used as medicine.

Even today in this modern world, cranberry juice is a recommended drink to go for if you happen to suffer from urinary infections. It is however widely believed to prevent the onset of the infections.

It is also used to overcome neurogenic bladder, a type of bladder disease, and also to deodorize urine among people who happen to suffer from urinary incontinence. Some use it to increase the flow of urine, speed up the process of skin healing, kill germs as well as reduce fever.

It is also used by some to aid in dealing with chronic fatigue, type 2 diabetes, inflammation of the lungs, scurvy and in some cases maybe even cancer.
How Does Cranberry Juice Work?
It was widely believed that cranberry juice made the urine acidic and hence made the atmosphere unsuitable for the growth of bacteria and hence leading to the prevention of diseases.

However some recent studies have put forth a whole different theory. It is now being believed that certain compounds present in the cranberry juice prevent the bacteria from sticking over the cells which line the tract and hence prevent the growth of the infection causing bacteria.

Cranberries, along with several other fruits and vegetables, contain very high quantity of salicylic acid which happens to be an important ingredient used in the in the making of aspirin. Regularly drinking the cranberry juice increases the level of salicylic acid in the body. This compound may reduce the formation of blood clots, swelling and also cancerous cells.

Benefit Of Drinking The Cranberry Juice
Preventing UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) is considered the most primary benefit of drinking the cranberry juice. Studies have shown that drinking cranberry juice helps in the prevention of UTIs especially among women, some children and also among people who are hospitalized. Although cranberries are hailed as the preventer of UTIs but there still isn’t sufficient evidence to show if it can cure existing UTIs.

Cranberries or the cranberry juice may help in improving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, stomach ulcers, clogged arteries, kidney stones, metabolic syndrome, urine odour, pleurisy, cancer, skin problems, chronic fatigue syndrome etc.

Side Effects Of Drinking Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice is considered to be safe for consumption by mouth. The cranberry juice as well as cranberry extracts has been safely used by a lot of people without any major side effects.

However drinking a lot of cranberry juice is associated with mildly upset stomach and also diarrhoea. Drinking more than a litre a day for a long time may increase the chance of developing kidney stones.
