Cranberry; the healthful fruit

It is no secret that eating more fruits and vegetables
can research sheds more light on the benefits of
phytonutrients.  These naturally occurring plant
compounds function with your body to help boost your
immune system and fight disease.  Cranberries have
elevated levels of phytonutrients and many have
antioxidant activity.
Cardiovascular Health - Preliminary research
results show that cranberries have the ability
to decrease total cholesterol and LDL, or
"bad" cholesterol, and increase  blood flow
Anti-Cancer - Cranberries are rich in
flavonoids, a phytonutrient shown to inhibit
certain types of cancer
Ulcers - Recent research suggests
compounds found in cranberries may inhibit
ulcer-causing bacteria from sticking to the
stomach wall
Anti-Aging - Polyphenolic compounds found in
cranberries may help to protect against
neurodengenerative diseases, and the
memory and coordination losses often
associated with aging
Urinary Tract Infection - The proanothcyanidins
found in cranberries can prevent urinary tract
infections by inhibiting E. coli bacteria from
attaching to the urinary tract wall.  The National
Kidney Foundation recommends drinking
atleast one large glass of cranberry juice a
day to help maintain urinary tract health
