One of the things I like most about summer are\u00a0all the fresh berries that are available. \u00a0My own property is a berry wonderland filled with blueberry bushes older than me\u00a0, raspberry and blackberry bushes! \u00a0It is so nice to go out picking fresh berries with my family. \u00a0I love how healthy and full of antioxidants berries are. \u00a0A berry I don’t have on my property but is so great for our\u00a0\u00a0health is the cranberry.<\/p>\n

Did you know that for centuries the cranberry has been used as both food and medicine? \u00a0It has, this tart berry that is native to North America was used to treat bladder and kidney diseases by the Native Americans. The early settlers used the broth from the cranberry raw and cooked to help with many ailments and conditions like stomach problems, loss of appetite, blood disorders, and scurvy.<\/p>\n

I would say that the cranberry is most well know for preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) which are most commonly caused by E. coli bacteria. \u00a0Medical professionals first believed the cranberry made the urine acidic enough to kill the bacteria. New studies show the cranberry may prevent the bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract. \u00a0Scientific research supports using cranberry in supplements or juice for preventing \u00a0UTIs.<\/p>\n

Recently I discovered AZO Cranberry Gummies<\/a>, a urinary maintenance tool\u00a0that incorporates the clinically proven benefits of \u00a0cranberries. Just 2 AZO Cranberry Gummies are equal to a 10 oz glass of cranberry juice** without all the extra calories. \u00a0The gummies are so good they have a berry flavor and are not tart. The cranberry gummies are\u00a0made with Pacran\u00ae, a super-concentrated cranberry powder that helps flush the urinary tract to maintain cleanliness.*<\/p>\n
