10 Benefits of Cranberries
Benefit #10: Protection from Ulcers
Stomach ulcers are incredibly painful and because they are slow to heal, the healing process can be brutal and unbearable. In addition, many last quite some time before they are diagnosed, prolonging the healing and pain process.
Certain types of stomach ulcers are related to a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. These bacteria are very tricky as someone can have traces of H. pylori and be healthy for ages before seeing side effects. It’s possible that cranberries may help prevent these bacteria from attaching to the lining of the stomach, similar to how they help prevent bacteria from attaching to the lining of the urinary tract.
