Urinary Tract Health: While more commonly used by women, cranberries also help men prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). They act as a "urinary deodorant" by increasing urine acidity to reduce odors.
Heart Health: Regular consumption can improve blood vessel function (vascular health), raise "good" HDL cholesterol, and lower blood pressure.
Immune System Support: High in vitamin C and other antioxidants, cranberries help protect cells from free radical damage and can reduce the duration or severity of cold and flu symptoms.
Oral Health: The same "anti-stick" properties that help the bladder also prevent bacteria from latching onto teeth and gums, potentially reducing plaque and gum inflammation.
Digestive Health: Cranberries are a good source of fiber and may help suppress H. pylori bacteria, which are known to cause stomach ulcers.
