Cranberries for a Heart Healthy Holiday

Thursday November 20, 2008
With the holiday season just around the corner, cranberries will start to make their yearly appearance for the holidays. Their tangy flavor and bright red color make them a favorite this time of year (it's also when they're most plentiful, as their peak season runs from October to December).

But flavor and color aside, there's another reason to enjoy cranberries... --they're incredibly nutritious and great for your health. You can even make them part of your diet year-round. Brian Williams, editor of SixWise.com, shares an article that showcases the antioxidant powers of cranberries. It includes cranberry recipes just in time for Thanksgiving!

I’ve drank cranberry juice for years to cut out UTI’s but never heard it was good for your heart as well. Good info.

Can you believe I’ve never had a cranberry? But I use cranberry juice to keep the uterus and vagina cleansed. It’s very good.
