Cranberries, good for your bladder and your health
-
Cranberries, called cranberry in Dutch, are among the top foods with proven health benefits. They are best known for preventing cystitis, but there are even more health benefits associated with the cranberry.
Cystitis
-
It has long been thought that cranberry cystitis was prevented or cured because the cranberries would make the urine more acidic, however, research showed that the urine of people who consumed cranberries was no more acidic than the urine of those who did not.
Anti-plaque
-
Cranberries have an anti-stick effect. They would be good for your teeth, because they prevent plaque and protect your teeth against bacteria. They also have an anti-plaque effect on your stomach wall. This prevents the helicobacter pylori bacteria from settling in your stomach wall and causing an ulcer there. Also, because the helicobacter pylori bacteria cannot settle in the stomach wall, the risk of stomach cancer is reduced.

Good for heart and blood vessels
-
Cranberries contain large amounts of flavonoids and polyphenols. Flavonoids relax the blood vessels causing them to dilate and lower blood pressure. Polyphenols lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol levels. This makes the consumption of cranberries very good for the heart and blood vessels.
Preventing diseases
-
Cranberries are full of anti-oxidants, which protect the cells in our body from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals damage the cells of the body and can cause cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, rheumatic diseases and premature skin aging. Drinking one glass of cranberry juice a day would prevent this damage.
