It's Sunday, my day of rest.... ha-ha; the internet never stops and nor does the gravitational pull of blogging and the potential of spreading the fun of food. Well, what better way to start the morning with a good cleansing fruit and vegetable juice? Cranberries are also called “bounceberries” because they bounce when ripe. Imagine how these are going to rejuvenate you and have you bouncing all over your life! Cranberries are high in vitamin C, and have antioxidant and antibacterial effects in the body.
These little red jewels are a rich source of the flavonoid quercetin which can inhibit the development of both breast and colon cancers and drinking cranberry juice is also good for the health of the heart. Research confirms that cranberries are an excellent source of antioxidants which may protect against cancer, heart disease and other diseases.
They are also indicated for digestive tract health and healing from the mouth to the anus. To start, cranberries decrease production of cavity and plaque producing bacteria in your mouth. Moving to the stomach, they reduce the bacteria associated with peptic stomach ulcers. In the colon their juice has been found to reduce the incidence of colon cancer. Research shows that the cranberry contents of proanthocyanidins and ursolic acid brought on cell death in colon cancer cells.
Cranberries are especially beneficial to the eyes where they significantly improve symptoms of cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy and are well known for their assistance in maintaining a healthy urinary tract.
But…The health benefits of cranberries are almost totally depleted when generous amounts of sugar is added. Thus the cranberry cannot provide you with its full phytonutrient benefits when there has been lots of sugar added.
