ranberries are native to North America and are considered a “superfood” due to their high antioxidant content. They are low in calories, high in vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin K, and many more nutrients. They are also high in antioxidant proanthocyanidins, which are very helpful for preventing bacteria adhesion. Find out below how cranberries can keep you healthy.

1. UTI Prevention

Cranberries prevent urinary tract infections, or UTIs. The high level of antioxidant proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberries stops certain bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract walls, which prevents infection. 

2. Nutrition

Cranberries contain vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which blocks free radicals, improves iron absorption, boost the defense system, and aids in collagen production, which helps wound healing. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps limit free radical production and also aids in defense system enhancement. Vitamin K supports strong bones, helps enhance cognitive health, and prevents mineralization in the arteries.   

3. Dental

Cranberries may also prevent cavities. It disrupts the building block of plaque known as glucan. This then prevents the bacteria that plaque is composed of from adhering to the tooth surface.
