Benefits of Cranberry Juice
Cranberries are a natural way to protect yourself from the flu and colds. One of the benefits of owning a juicer is the ability to make real, genuine cranberry juice: a powerful weapon in fighting colds and the flu. Cranberries are rich in antioxidants and the chemical quinine.

A study was recently done, which included 153 elderly women who drank 300ml of cranberry juice per day to see the effect that cranberry juice had on the urinary tract. Some of the women were given 100% real cranberry juice, while the others were given a placebo drink, which only looked and tasted the same as real cranberry juice. After six months of this, women drinking the real cranberry juice had 58% less urinary infections, than the women drinking the placebo drink.

In the past, cranberry juice was believed to have increased the acidity of the urine. However, in this study, there were no signs of the acidity actually being increased. Drinking cranberry juice actually stops certain bacteria from being able to grow in the bladder and the along the walls of the uterus.

Cranberry juice does contain amounts of a compound called “hippuric acid”, which has some natural antibiotic activity. Researchers have also had great results using cranberry concentrate capsules (1,000 mg), especially in preventing re-occurring urinary tract infections and cystitis problems. The concentrate form is easier to manage, and it contains no sweeteners or added sugars.

Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association proves the strongly beneficial effect that cranberry juice has on cystitis and urinary infections.

Today, many women who use natural remedies rely on unsweetened cranberry juice or even a powdered cranberry extract formed into a caplet for treatment for their urinary tract infections.

Drinking one glass of cranberry juice a day has proven to significantly reduce the risk of infections and help prevent cystitis.

Cranberries are a source of polyphenol antioxidants, chemicals which are known to provide certain health benefits to the cardiovascular system and immune system.

There is some use of cranberry juice by people with spinal paralysis; regular consumption of the juice is supposed to reduce the rate of urinary tract infections. While much of the evidence is equivocal, a number of double-blind clinical trials have been carried out that suggest there actually is an effect: a component of the juice appears to competitively inhibit bacterial attachment to the bladder and urethra allowing the bacteria to be flushed out more easily. Cranberries also act as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial lactobacillus bacteria while inhibiting the growth of harmful E. coli and listeria.

An autumn 2004 caution from the Committee on Safety of Medicines, the UK agency dealing with drug safety, advised patients taking warfarin not to drink cranberry juice after adverse effects were reported.

Cranberries also contain significant concentrations of benzoic acid, which in combination with Vitamin C forms small amounts of the group 1 carcinogen benzene.

Cranberry juice contains a chemical component, a high molecular weight non-dializable material (NDM), that is able to inhibit and even reverse the formation of plaque by Streptococcus mutan pathogens that cause tooth decay.

Cranberry juice also supposedly prevents the formation of kidney stones.

Answer 5

Fresh cranberry juice is ok for acidity. But milk and banana is highly recommended in the diet since it is found to be very effective for acidity. Avoid chillies and fried foods. Don't skip meals and sleep. Reduce your intake of tea/coffee. Mental tension and lack off sleep also increase acid production. Do not leave stomach empty. Drink 10 -12 glasses of water per day. Avoid oxalate rich foods for kidney stones. Foods such as cashew nuts, chickoo, chocolates, cocoa, custard apple, spinach, strawberries, beef, tea, tomato, carrot, Grapes, ladies finger, beans should be avoided. Drink plenty of plain water and barley water.
