Great Reasons to Consume Cranberries All Year Long | Healthy Living | Health and Wellness Center - Elevate Christian Network | Scoop.it

Cranberries are one of the top antioxidant-rich foods, packing in more antioxidants ounce-for-ounce than other superfoods like spinach, blueberries, or even green tea.

Cee Harmon's insight:

Cranberry juice also has properties that fight both cancer and other tumors. It does this with the polyphenol compounds which have been known to slow the growth of tumors in the breasts, lungs, colon and prostate.

Healthy Living: The Inflammation-Fighting Foods You Should Be Eating

Healthy Living: The Inflammation-Fighting Foods You Should Be Eating | Health and Wellness Center - Elevate Christian Network | Scoop.it

The good news is there’s plenty that can be done to control inflammation. The key is to be strategic about the foods you eat, focusing on a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods and drinking water (or tea) throughout the day.

Cee Harmon's insight:

Use of Sweeteners: When necessary, sweeten foods with honey or another less processed type of sugar. Natural sweeteners tend to fall lower on the glycemic index, which means they won’t spike your blood sugar as much.

 

This may help combat inflammation. You can substitute sugar with honey in a variety of recipes, even when choosing a topping for your pancakes.
