Caused by bacteria that enters the urinary tract, urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be painful and frustrating. But luckily, there are some proactive steps you can take to help prevent UTIs.
While antibiotics are the primary treatment for UTIs, diet and lifestyle factors may help prevent and reduce recurring infections. Read How to Eat Well for a Urinary Tract Infection for more information on what causes UTIs and how to help prevent them.
This plan puts our recommendations into practice using cranberries, which have been connected to a lower prevalence of UTIs in women. The menu is also rich in vitamin C foods and probiotics, which help to balance your urine’s pH and improve immunity, respectively. This three-day menu is balanced, delicious and may help ward off UTIs in the future.
