Its fruit is an oval berry with a length of 2 to 5 cm, which turns from white to deep red, and tastes heavy sour and slightly sweet.

It mainly grows in the acidic peat soil in the cool zone of the northern hemisphere, and is known as the three traditional fruits in North America along with Concord grapes and blueberries. Cranberry has the characteristics of high moisture, low calorie, high fiber and many minerals, so it is favored by people.

1.prevent urinary tract infection

The most unique effect of cranberry is that it can effectively prevent urinary tract infection (UTI). 80% to 90% of urinary tract infection is caused by Escherichia coli. Scholars at home and abroad have conducted research on this functional mechanism for many years. Various acidic substances in cranberries can increase the acidity of urine in the bladder, forming a strong acidic environment to kill E. coli in the urinary tract. In 1998, the research report of New Jersey State University scientist Howell AB and others confirmed for the first time that the active substance in cranberry responsible for inhibiting urinary infection is the concentrated tannic acid or proanthocyanidins (PACs) isolated from cranberry. Proanthocyanidins are concentrated tannins, mainly oligomers or polymers of epicatechin and epigallocatechin. The content of proanthocyanidins in cranberries is 34.3 mg/100 g. A large number of studies have shown that it has anti-bacterial adhesion properties, which can prevent E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria from adhering to the epithelial cells of the urethra and the bladder wall, and the pathogenic bacteria flow away with the urine, thus preventing the occurrence of urinary tract infections.

2.Anti-Helicobacter pylori

Proanthocyanidins, ellagic acid, phenolic acid, resveratrol and other substances contained in cranberries have antibacterial effects. Many studies have shown that cranberries can inhibit the infection of Helicobacter pylori, and have a good effect on preventing gastric ulcer, gastric cancer, and duodenal ulcer.

3.anti-oxidation

Flavonoids in cranberries have antioxidant functions in vivo and in vitro, especially flavonols and proanthocyanidins have preventive effects on atherosclerosis.

4.prevent cardiovascular disease

Cranberries contain hyperin, quercetin, myricetin and other flavonol compounds, which together with anthocyanins determine the color of cranberry fruit. Flavonols have strong antioxidant activity, can inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, reduce the level of triglycerides in the blood, and help promote the cardiovascular health of the human body.

5.Protect Mouth and Teeth

Studies have found that the substances isolated and extracted from cranberry juice can decompose the flora in the oral cavity, especially the mutans streptococcus in saliva that can cause dental caries and plaque, thereby protecting the teeth.

6.hypotensive

The low-sodium and high-potassium properties of cranberries give them blood pressure-lowering properties. Studies have found that cranberry juice can promote the production of nitric oxide in vascular endothelial cells, which relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. This helps explain how bilberries can help promote healthy blood pressure levels.
Apostolidis et al. used water-soluble cranberry extracts to fuse oregano, rosemary, and rhodiola rosea as raw materials, and determined their inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase, pancreatic α-amylase, and ACE-1 to judge Their antioxidant activity, as well as their diabetic and antihypertensive effects. The results showed that the ability of different components to inhibit α-glucosidase, pancreatic α-amylase, and ACE-1 was significantly enhanced after combining with cranberry extract, indicating that cranberry extract has antioxidant properties, blood pressure lowering and The role of diabetes prevention.

7.Other health functions

Cranberries also have many other health functions, such as laxative, lower cholesterol, prevent heart disease, prevent arteriosclerosis, have anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, anti-viral functions, protect the liver, and resist ulcers.
