Cranberries - Health Benefits
Cranberries - Health Benefits
 If you want to
protect your caradiovascular system and your liver, you are better off
to eat the whole cranberries rather than the liquid extract or dried
supplement. This is due to the fact that it is the synergy
between the nutrients contained in the cranberries rather than one
particular extracted nutrient that makes the difference. The
cancer preventative effects extend to breast, colon, lung and
prostate. For the most part, treating UTI's with cranberry only
works for women who experience recurrent UTI's. It also helps
with stomach ulcers caused by bacteria. It encourages apoptosis,
which is programmed cell death of cancer cells. As always, it is
recommended you get a combination of 9 fruits and vegetables daily,
with at least 5 of these being fruits. This is where the
antioxidants are! The more colorful the food, the more
antioxidants. This is what your diet should primarily consist of,
with a little protein, some seeds and nuts and as little grain as
possible. Any fruits and vegetables are good, but we recommend
that the majority of your foods come from our food list.
