HEALTH BENEFITS OF TEQUILA AND CRANBERRIES

Tequila, along with other liquors, is healthy when consumed in moderation because it can be stress relieving. So the occasional drink after a hard day’s work will keep your spirits high (pun intended)!

Despite many recent articles claiming health benefits in agave would also be in tequila, the fermentation process impedes any benefit and the drink is no better than another cocktail.

Cranberries, however, are very healthy, especially when it comes to urinary tract health. For sufferers of chronic UTIs, cranberry juice is a preventative measure and a part of treatment.

Eating or drinking cranberries will produce acidic urine. This prevents the formation of alkaline stones in the urinary tract by fighting bacterial infections.

CRANBERRY FAQs

1. Is Cranberry good for you?

Absolutely! Cranberries offer a range of potential health benefits:

Cranberries are well-known for their ability to help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) by reducing the adhesion of bacteria to the urinary tract walls. Some studies suggest that cranberries may help reduce the risk of stomach ulcers by inhibiting the growth of the ulcer-causing bacteria Helicobacter pylori. Cranberries contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that may provide relief to individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Regular consumption of cranberries may contribute to heart health by improving cholesterol levels and reducing blood pressure. Cranberries are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants that can boost the immune system, helping the body fight off infections. The fiber content in cranberries can support digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. Cranberries have been associated with a reduced risk of urinary tract infections, which can impact vaginal health. By preventing UTIs, cranberries indirectly support vaginal health.

Incorporating cranberries into your diet, whether through cranberry juice, dried cranberries, or fresh cranberries, can be a tasty way to enjoy these potential health benefits. However, it’s essential to consume cranberries in moderation as part of a balanced diet for optimal results.
