I was recently asked what can be done to prevent or treat urinary tract infections. The infographic to the left, created by rawforbeauty.com, gives a great juicing recipe for this. The infograph at the bottom, by HealthDigeZt.com also offers ideas. Here are my own suggestions:
~ Limit sugar, artificial sweeteners, and grains from your diet. These feed the infection.
~ Drink pure, organic cranberry juice and lots of pure water that is free of fluoride and chlorine. (You can also take a wholefood, pure cranberry supplement like this one.)
~ Always be sure to urinate before and after sexual contact.
~ Always wipe from front to back with clean toilet tissue with each wipe.
~ Wear loose fitting underwear made from breathable fabric, like cotton, and be sure clothing is not too tight.
~ Take probiotics daily, like this one, to keep your gut flora healthy, so that it can fight off infections.
I hope these ideas help. Remember, they are just suggestions. Only a licensed healthcare provider can legally prescribe treatment. Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks!
