More Health Benefits of Cranberries

 
Cranberries – packed with antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which neutralize free radicals in the body, thereby preventing cell damage and reducing the risk of inflammation and chronic diseases. Notably, cranberries support urinary tract health by containing proanthocyanidins that help prevent bacterial adhesion.
Cranberries are also a rich source of vitamin C, a natural immune booster crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system. The fruit’s cardiovascular benefits include potential reductions in blood pressure and improved cholesterol levels, contributing to overall heart health. Furthermore, cranberries possess anti-inflammatory properties that may mitigate chronic inflammation, lowering the risk of diseases like arthritis and heart disease.
 
Despite being low in calories, cranberries are nutrient-dense, offering essential vitamins and minerals, including fiber, vitamin C, manganese, and vitamin K. This makes them an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced and nutritious diet.
