The Latest on Cranberry Health

 

Cranberries stimulate our senses with their brilliant colour and their tart and refreshing taste. And, they are intriguing because of the remarkable health benefits nature has packed into these glistening red berries.

Beyond their vitamins and minerals, intensely coloured fruits like cranberries contain a powerful array of natural antioxidants that help protect our bodies against disease.

Proanthocyanidins are potent antioxidants that give cranberries their unique anti-adhesion benefits to help prevent disease-causing bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract. Recent research from Rutgers University found that the anti-adhesion benefits of a glass of cranberry cocktail start within two hours of consumption and can last for up to ten hours.

Log onto cranberryinstitute.org to learn more about the research that is being carried out on the anti-aging properties of cranberries. Emerging science reports that cranberries may help fight oral bacteria responsible for dental plaque and may be beneficial in preventing stomach ulcers.

So pack your day with cranberries and feel good as you make wise choices for you and your family.

Make eating well one of your greatest pleasures!
