Cranberry juice is rich in antioxidants and has all it takes to boost immunity. While it does help protect you from an array of health problems, it is most often recommended to prevent urinary tract infections. Such infections refer to the presence of bacteria in the urine exceeding normal levels. These infections can develop in the bladder further causing cystitis in the kidney. Cranberry juice possesses compounds with properties that prevent bacteria from clinging onto the bladder's walls. This ensures that the bacteria are flushed out of the body with urine, thereby preventing the development of a full-blown urinary tract infection. Drinking cranberry juice regularly guards against UTI relapses in middle-aged women and pregnant women, who are prone to such diseases.
