Cranberries

Cranberry has long been considered the premiere aid for urinary tract infections and bladder conditions. Cranberry strengthens the immune system while acting as an excellent antibiotic because of its curative properties and as a pro-biotic help for gastric and ulcer conditions. As one of the best antioxidants known today, cranberry should remain at the top of everyone’s daily diet. While lowering bad cholesterol, cranberry raises good cholesterol, aiding the body in proper digestion and usage. As a fat burning food, cranberry is ultimately valuable, as its classification as a fruit means it lends further help to the digestive system. With low natural sugars, cranberry doesn’t have the same push to the sugar levels as other more sweet fruits. This is positive news for diabetics. With a small amount of natural or diet sweeteners, cranberry desserts can be made with low sugar content allowing for the natural tart flavor of this hardy fruit.
