Health Benefits of Drinking Cranberry Juice

Eating healthily and avoiding medicines as much as possible has been my goal since becoming a parent. Its been my goal to provide a healthy spread and promote healthy eating habits especially for my daughter.


Of course, we can't totally skip eating junk foods and other salty stuff every now and then and sometimes, drinking water is not enough. Luckily, I've been re-introduced to cranberry juice when I attended Fly Ace' Old Orchard event.


Going back to the past, I've always been prone to UTI and I remember being hospitalized during my senior year in high school because of it. Then I also had a mild case of UTI when I was pregnant with my daughter and I remember being advised by my OB-GYNE to drink cranberry tea. I'm not sure if cranberry juice was already sold in the country that time but it worked wonders for me. I was in my first trimester of pregnancy that time and taking medicine is really a no-no because its harmful for the baby in my tummy.

So now, I make it a point to have a bottle of cranberry juice every week to prevent my family from having UTI. Cranberry juice is also high in vitamin C. Luckily, my daughter loves the taste of cranberry juice as compared with pineapple juice which she finds too sour for her taste. Cranberry juice is now a stable in our fridge and its a refreshing energy-booster drink also this summer.

Drinking cranberry juice can make you "pee" a lot though so its best to drink it when you don't have plans to go out or in the evening when you're at home.

Aside from preventing UTI and having high vitaminc C content, drinking cranberry juice is also beneficial for having a healthy kidney and is also good for the heart and prevents bad cholesterol. I believe it is also relieves pain for those suffering from gout.

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
