This in turn helps in the prevention of the bacterial infection in the urinary tract and also helps in the prevention of alkaline stones from forming in the urinary tract.

Selection

Fresh cranberries are found in the market from the month of October right up to December. However it is known that the body absorbs most of the nutrients when consumed in the form of juice and so it is preferred to consume the juice instead of the berries. The berries can be quite tart and so not many seem to prefer the taste. To attract more customers the manufacturers tend to add a lot of sugar or artificial sweeteners in the cranberry juice to make it sweeter.

While choosing the right kind of cranberry juices do make sure that you go for the brand which has added minimal sweeteners or sugar in the juice. If you do not be careful in this regard then instead of helping the body it will damage it.
