Blueberry and Cranberry – Antioxidant specialists

Filed under: General — Richard @ 12:19 pm

Studies show that blueberries can help balance blood sugar to prevent glucose-related health problems (pre-diabetes, diabetes and its complications). Blueberry concentrate, used in Sunkist Blueberry Greens, also supports circulation to the eyes and brain, protecting vision and preventing dementia. The medicinal effects of blueberry are largely due to anthocyanins-the antioxidant pigment that makes these berries blue. Heart health, high cholesterol and high blood pressure can be improved with increased antioxidant intake.

Cranberry is known to prevent and treat urinary tract infections. A compound in cranberry makes the walls of the urinary tract “slippery” so bacteria (especially E. coli) cannot adhere. Men and women can both use Sunkist Cranberry Greens 36:1 concentrate (1 gram of concentrate equals 36 grams of fresh cranberry) for relief and antioxidant support.
