Many of you may well know that Cranberry is great for urinary tract problems. But, anyone wonder the reason why???
Most urinary tract infections (also called bladder infections or UTIs) occur from an overgrowth of E. coli bacteria in the urethra or bladder. Cranberry prevents bacteria from adhering to the walls of these organs, making it difficult for an infection to develop. Cranberries can also help speed recovery time after you get a UTI.
For prevention, drinking at least one glass of cranberry juice a day is your best bet. Be sure to buy pure cranberry juice, not a blend, to make sure you get a good concentration. Cranberry capsules are also available, but research shows the effects are not as strong as drinking actual juice.
Unfortunately, when an infection does develop, cranberries alone cannot get rid of one: you will need to go to your doctor for antibiotics.
