Cranberry juice is not just a source of vitamin C and a means of preventing colds.
To be fair, it's worth noting that just one cup of cranberry juice contains 26% of the daily value of vitamin C.
But nutritionists recommend drinking cranberry juice not only for this reason.
Researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health have found that cranberry juice helps heal wounds, treat infections, strengthens the immune system, and is an antioxidant.
