These beautiful red berries are found largely in North America and were first harvested by the Native Americans. Soon after the Europeans began to settle there, they started consuming it too. It wasn’t until recently that the fruit has been credited with such medicinal properties. All this time it was simply consumed for the flavour it provided but now it is seen as a great way of preventing disease.

Benefits Of The Cranberry Juice

Prevention of the painful urinary infections

Even the preservatives in the food that we eat are known to cause urinary tract infections in our body. The anti – adhesion properties of the cranberries due to the presence of the proanthocyanins help in avoiding these infections.

Reduction of the plaque formation

This acidic beverage will do nothing but good to both your teeth and gums. Studies have suggested that the cranberry juice reduces the growth of bacteria in our mouth and hence prevents the formation of plaque. So drink up this tasty juice and end up with some healthy gums and teeth. Do not over drink it as too much cranberry juice may end up damaging your teeth.

Prevention of stone formation in the kidneys

Quinic acid, found in the cranberry juice, is attributed to the prevention of kidney stones. It is still not completely proved but it does make sense as the cranberry juice tends to remove all the waste from the body.

Prevents cancer

Cranberries have a healthy quantity of polyphenol antioxidants in them and also phytochemicals. Both of these compounds are responsible to deter cancer and also some disorders which may strike the cardiovascular system and also the immune system of the body.

Prevention of yeast infection

Fungal overgrowth and also the yeast infection largely go unnoticed in most people. Cranberry juice may be helpful in preventing this infection completely in the first place.

Cranberry juice makes it impossible for these pathogens to hang on to any part of the body. It flushes out the yeast and other harmful cells from the body.

With a wide range of benefits, it is not at all surprising that this juice is in such a great demand. Why don’t you add this to your regular diet and be healthy?

Do ensure that the cranberry juice that you buy to consume has minimal sugar content in it. Most of the organic stores do keep the unsweetened variety of this juice. A lot of time manufacturers add several fruit juices and end up making a ‘cranberry juice cocktail’ which has very little cranberry juice in it and hence a lot less beneficial. Do steer clear of these. Do go for the purest kind that you can find.

If you are going to be trying this juice for the very first time then do be warned that it tastes a little sharp as it is tart. It is recommended to be diluted in water before consuming to mellow down the sharpness. Now that you know what cranberry juice can do for you, go ahead and drink it.
