Choose Wisely – Cranberry Juice

Choose Wisely # 8

Cranberry juice has many benefits which makes it a very healthy beverage choice on or off the protocol. Cranberry juice contains high levels of organic acids, which have an emulsifying effect upon fat deposits. This is a good reason to drink it when you are detoxing or watching your weight. For detoxing take 4 oz of cranberry juice and mix it with 28 oz of purified water and a little stevia.

It is very rich in antioxidants which are beneficial for the body in numerous ways. It is also a great source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K. Cranberries do not contain any cholesterol and the total fat content is only 0.1 gram, which makes cranberry juice a very low fat, healthy drink.

Choose This:
