Cranberry Juice Good For You?

Many of you may not realize it but cranberry juice is actually good for you for many reasons!  I wanted to take the time to recommended cranberry juice to you guys by highlighting its many benefits.

First off my favorite benefit of cranberry juice is that it, believe it or not, helps prevent gum disease.  According to fitness magazine.com, "experts theorize that a component of the juice called nondialysable material (NDM) inhibits bacteria from sticking to the gums."  Although preventing gum disease is a great benefit of cranberry juice experts suggest limiting your intake to no more than one glass (6 to 8 ounces) daily.  Due to the high sugar content in cranberry juice experts feel that it is important to limit your intake.  Heidi Reichenberger, RD and a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, "suggests that it is important to make sure that your cranberry juice label says 100 percent juice, not 'juice drink' or 'cocktail'."



Cranberry juice also helps to prevent tooth decay, speed up digestion and even becomes a aid in weightless.  Cranberry juice helps to prevent tooth decay by preventing bacteria from growing.  Cranberry also helps to speed up your digestion by being rich in fibre, and fibre is great for your digestive system.  When it comes to weightless, cranberry can be an aid because it has tons of antioxidants and a glass in the morning can help you to consume less calories.  Cranberry juice can be a great substitute for any other soda and is a great drink to have in the morning with breakfast.

So drink up, and get your cranberry juice today.  Since it is important to buy a cranberry juice that says 100 percent juice here is one that I recommend Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice.  You can find this 100 percent juice at your local grocery store, start to enjoy its many benefits today!
