Get your daily fill of 100% Old Orchard Cranberry Juice! You'd be surprised what benefits they have for your health and your body. Admittedly I'm a soda addict, yeah I know it's bad, and somehow I find it really hard to cut on it, well I try, but still my efforts aren't really paying off. But today I know I can do something about it.
I'm trying to cut down on my soda intake and concentrating on other choices like fruit juices and the basic element water, but let's start learning more about what cranberry juice can do for us.
What’s in every serving of cranberry juice? Each
eight-ounce serving of 100% Old Orchard Cranberry Juice counts as two servings
of fruit. Did you know that the American Cancer Society recommends that you eat
five servings of fruits and vegetables each day? Old Orchard 100% Juices can
help you meet your “Five-A-Day” goal.
Apart from getting our daily fruit intake requirement,
Cranberry Juice helps prevent kidney disorder. Kidney failure is the 9th
leading cause of death among Filipinos. One Filipino develops chronic renal
failure every hour and there is more than 14,000 Filipino patients undergoing
dialysis yearly.
Kidney 101
According to healthline.com, the kidneys are two
bean-shaped organs that extract waste from blood, balance body fluids, form
urine, and aid in other important functions of the body. They reside against
the back muscles in the upper abdominal cavity and sit opposite each other on
both sides of the spine. When it comes to components of the urinary system, the
kidneys are multi-talented powerhouses of activity.
Some of the core functions of the kidneys include:
Waste excretion: There are many things your body
doesn’t want inside of it, and the kidneys help get rid of some of them. The
kidneys filter out toxins, excess salts, and urea, a nitrogen-based waste
created by cell metabolism. Urea is synthesized in the liver and transported
through the blood to the kidneys for removal.
Water level balancing: As the kidneys are key in the
production of urine, they react to changes in the body’s water level throughout
the day. As water intake decreases, the kidneys adjust accordingly and leave
water in the body instead of helping excrete it.
Blood pressure regulation: The kidneys need constant
pressure to filter the blood. When it drops too low, the kidneys increase the
pressure. One way is by producing a blood vessel-constricting protein
(angiotensin) that also signals the body to retain sodium and water. Both the
constriction and retention help restore normal blood pressure.
Red blood cell regulation: When the kidneys don’t get enough
oxygen, they send out a distress call in the form of erythropoietin, a hormone
that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more oxygen-carrying red blood
cells.
Acid regulation: As cells metabolize, they produce
acids. Foods we eat can either increase the acid in our body or neutralize it.
If the body is to function properly, it needs to keep a healthy balance of
these chemicals. The kidneys do that, too.
Because of all of the vital functions the kidneys perform
and the toxins they encounter, the kidneys are susceptible to various problems.
Acute kidney failure is a condition in which the kidneys suddenly lose their
ability to function properly. This can occur for many reasons, including:
Infection
Blood-clotting disorders
Decreased blood flow caused by low blood pressure
Acute tubular necrosis, or death of the tubular cells that
deliver urine to the ureters
Autoimmune kidney disorders
Urinary tract infections
Complications from pregnancy
Under the Love Your Kidney Campaign, Old Orchard aims to
build awareness to the importance of drinking cranberry juice. Cranberry Juice
has been proven in several studies to reduce the risk of urinary tract
infections or UTI due to the proanthrocyanidin
content and hippuric acid that helps
prevent the bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract. Cranberry Juice is not
the cure for kidney diseases, but it is a way of preventing it from happening
and worsening. Cranberry Juice acts as a defense against heart disease and
contains anti-cancer properties, Vitamin C and dietary fiber. It also decreases
the probabilities of having dental caries.
Old Orchard is recognized as the 2nd largest
frozen juice brand and 4th largest bottled juice brand in the USA.
