Cranberry juice, praised for its potential health benefits—like preventing urinary tract infections, supporting heart health, and providing antioxidants—became the focus of a 7-day personal experiment. The goal was to see if daily consumption could improve digestion, energy, and skin clarity.
The author drank one glass of unsweetened, pure cranberry juice each morning. Early in the week, mild increases in energy and smoother digestion were noticed, though the tart flavor was intense and took some getting used to. Hydration helped, but the acidity remained a factor.
By the end of the week, digestion felt better, energy levels remained stable, and skin appeared slightly clearer. However, mild heartburn highlighted the importance of moderation.
The experiment demonstrated that while cranberry juice isn’t a miracle cure, it can offer real health benefits—especially when consumed thoughtfully and in pure form. Moving forward, the author plans to incorporate it into their routine every other day or blended with other juices to balance taste and acidity.
