Exercise Easier, Lose Weight Faster and Be a Healthier Person

Even the Native Americans hundreds of years ago knew that the Cranberry had substancial health benefits, even thinking that it could treat illnesses. And now for certain through thorough scientific research  that Cranberries can help you live a healthier and longer life. Yes, they may be a little on the tart side, but trust me in the long run they are worth it. And here are some solid reasons why...

Research into how the cranberry is in helping you become a more healthier person has shown that there are compounds found within the cranberry  can help with the prevention of Urinary Tract Infections.

Interestingly enough studies have shown that powerful antioxidants called proanthocyanidins, or PACS for short, are like the bullies that show infections who's boss. And it seems as though it is a very effective way of preventing Urinary Tract Infections because recent studies done at Rutgers University suggest that by just drinking one glass of cranberry cocktail twice a day the benefits of said cocktail starts within only 2 hours of having drank it and can last up to 10 hours.  In fact it effort has been put into extracting the PACS so as to offer people a more condensed, pill form, and less tart way of warding off and bullying their infections into place. Oh, and I almost forgot, but the PACS are not only good for infections but also have been shown to help with preventing plaque build up on teeth.

Also recent research that has delved even further into the beneficial properties of the Cranberry has shown that Cranberries have certain anit-inflammatory properties. So what that means it that by consuming Cranberries you are preventing and protecting yourself from chronic and life threatening diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and many types of cancer.

Now, yes the Cranberry can be very beneficial if we make it a habit to consume it regularly, but note something that is of great interest. And that is even though scientists have recently tried to extract and condense the different parts of the Cranberry that make it so good for our health, recently a study done at Worchester Polytechnic Institute showed that it is, "not just one certain part or component of the Cranberry that makes it so beneficial to consume", and that in fact we are far from truly understanding what components make the Cranberry beneficial for us.

So in a way I gues we can say that the Cranberry is not just something good for you, but something that when eaten whole, in juice or even as a sauce can prove to be a super food that makes you a healthier person, for
life.
