A new study reveals that drinking low-calorie cranberry juice cocktail may help lower the risk of chronic diseases that rank among the leading causes of death worldwide, including heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
The finding is welcome news considering the World Health Organization estimates the trio of diseases annually claim 15.6 million lives around the globe. These illnesses are among the most common and costly health conditions, but fortunately, they are also among the most preventable through dietary intervention.
The research shows that cranberries provide a rich source of protective compounds - called polyphenols – that support the body’s natural defenses and help us achieve a balanced lifestyle to improve health.
Cranberries contain more naturally occurring polyphenols than most other common fruits. New research published in the Journal of Nutrition suggests that drinking two glasses of low-calorie cranberry juice a day could lower risk of any number of chronic illnesses including heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
