It has long been documented that cranberries are good for bladder infections and maintaining natural health and well-being, but with regular consumption they are also known to lower our chances of developing stomach cancer and gastric ulcers, which is one of the known causes of stomach cancer.
Frozen or fresh cranberries can be used to treat other kinds of ulcers too, including duodenal ulcers and skin ulcers. Cranberry juice contains special chemical elements that inhibit the activities of such bacteria that cause ulcers.
Not only are they rich in Vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system; but they also contain properties that help fight infection, particularly Urinary Tract infections. Cranberry juice also contains antibacterial properties.
What are their additional benefits?
Cranberries help improve circulation and provide relief for those people who suffer with Asthma. Due to their antibacterial properties, cranberries also help with bladder infections and are known to stop kidney stone formation. Cranberries also contain tannins, which helps contribute to a healthy heart.
The use of cranberries
Cranberries and Cranberry juice are widely available. They can also be bought in supplement form.
Thanks for the information. My father and sister in law love cranberries with their turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Me not so much.
You're welcome. That is a shame, given that they have many good properties. Thanks for posting.
I never did like cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
I do like cranberries though and they ARE good for you. I live where most of the cranberries come from, so we have them everywhere.
That's cool! Yes you're right they are good for you, so I am very glad you like them. Thanks for posting.
Wow! I never knew all the good benefits of cranberries. Thanks for the information. I will be going back on it now because of this information. Thanks again!
You're welcome Nicole and thank you for posting. Lovely to see you on site.
Very good information. I've read a lot about cranberries in my studies and you're spot on!
Thanks Lisa on both counts! I hope you're doing okay today.
Cranberries! They're just too sour for my sweet tooth. I wonder if there any alternatives that are just as good.
It's a shame they're not to your taste, they are extremely good for you!
