The efficacy and function of cranberry

1. Prevent urinary tract infection.

Drinking more than 350cc of cranberry juice or cranberry nutritional supplements every day is very helpful in preventing urinary tract infections and cystitis.

2. Prevent gastric cancer.

Cranberry can effectively inhibit Helicobacter pylori from attaching to the stomach and intestines. Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastric ulcers and even gastric cancer.

3. Beautify and nourish the skin.

Cranberry contains vitamin C, flavonoids and other antioxidants and rich pectin, which can beautify the skin, improve constipation, and help excrete toxins and excess fat from the body.

4. Prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Eating more cranberries can prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.

5. Lower blood pressure.

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a research report at a medical conference held in Washington on September 20, 2012, saying that experiments showed that healthy adults can moderately lower their blood pressure if they regularly drink low-calorie cranberry juice.

6. Protect the bladder.

It is estimated that half of women and some men will suffer from at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime. For many people, this is troublesome and may sometimes relapse. One study showed that people who drank cranberry juice or ate cranberries daily significantly reduced their risk of urinary tract infections.

7. Protect oral hygiene.

Cranberry's anti-adhesion mechanism also works in the mouth: Regularly rinsing the mouth with cranberry extract can reduce the number of bacteria in saliva. Periodontitis is the main cause of tooth loss as we age. Rinse your mouth with cranberry extract to reduce the adhesion of bacteria around teeth and gums, thereby reducing the occurrence of periodontitis.

8. Protect the stomach and intestines.

Substances in cranberries prevent bacteria from adhering to the stomach lining. Helicobacter pylori can cause stomach lining infections, stomach ulcers and intestinal ulcers, and increase the risk of stomach cancer. Cranberry's anti-adhesion mechanism promotes gastrointestinal protection.

9. Anti-aging.

Cranberries are one of the fruits with the highest antioxidant content per calorie. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals that contribute to ageing. Premature aging of the skin as well as diseases such as cancer and heart disease can be attributed to damage caused by free radicals.
