How Can You Include Cranberries Into Your Diet?

July 24, 2010 By Denz Leave a Comment

Fresh, frozen or dried, cranberries can be eaten anytime of the year.

Adding dried cranberries to baking (such as scones, breads and cookies) is an easy way to enjoy their tart sweetness. Adding frozen cranberries to smoothies or soups can lend a mild tang to your creations. Fresh cranberries make excellent garnishes and dressings.

The easiest way to add cranberries to your diet is to drink cranberry juice. While sweetened juices have less antioxidant than unsweetened, the benefits of adding cranberry to your diet are still there. If you add unsweetened juice to sparkling water you can enjoy a refreshing spritzer.

While studies are still being conducted on the health benefits of cranberries there is no doubt that increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables in your diet will lead to a healthier body. Choosing to use a variety of berries, citrus and other fruits will ensure you are giving your body everything it needs for optimum health.

Nutritionists even predict the Viking diet could be to the 21st century what the Mediterranean diet was to the 20th. It focuses on seasonal and local produce, and a balance of protein, carbohydrate and fat,” the Daily Mail writes of the diet that also means eating varied but in controlled portions.
