The Cleansing Power of Cranberries
Cranberries are packed with strong antioxidants and an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Not only do these bright-red berries promote health in almost every area of the body, they do wonders for cleansing bad bacteria out of the urinary tract while promoting an inviting environment for bladder health. Most store-bought cranberry juices contain mixtures of sugars and other juices.
