At the first sign of urinary or bladder discomfort, drink 100% cranberry juice, and keep on drinking it until symptoms disappear. According to various medical studies, the pure juice from cranberries produces an energy barrier that prevents bacteria from attacking urinary tract cells.
Flush out the urinary tract by drinking lots of water. To keep your urinary track free from harmful bacteria, drink at least six to eight glasses of water each day.
Vitamin C is a great natural treatment for urinary tract infections. It increases the acid level of your urine so that bacteria can't grow to infectious levels. At the onset of symptoms, drink vitamin C enriched fluids or eat fresh fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C.
Probably the strongest symptoms of a urinary tract infection are frequent and intense urges to urinate. Using the restroom each time you feel you have to urinate will keep bacteria from growing in the bladder, kidneys and other parts of the urinary tract.
Sweat and moisture trapped in the groin tend to fuel the growth of bacteria that leads to urinary tract infections. Cotton is a natural fiber which prevents this moisture from collecting in the genital area. Especially in warm weather, wearing cotton underwear will allow enough air to flow and dry out the moisture.
Awesome list and thanks for sharing it. Drinking more water is something I need to do more often.
