News Alert!
Sure you might have always heard the old wive's tale that if you were ever to get a UTI all you need to do is drink a bunch of cranberry juice to cure it.. Guess all those crazy wives were right. because now there is concrete evidence to back it up their theory!
Recent research reveals that certain compounds in cranberries might actually prevent bacteria from attaching to tissue in the urinary tract .. aka it keeps the infections away!
Although doctors aren't positive on exactly what form is best to use ( in juice form or capsule) either type can still help.
"Finally,
the science is catching up to what our mothers have been telling us for so many
decades,"
Dr.
Deborah Wing, who has studied urinary tract infections at the University of
California, Irvine said.
Bonus for the cranberry method versus antibiotics?
1-Drinking or taking cranberry tablets for long periods of time won't stop working when your body's bacteria builds up resistance to it like it does for drugs used to treat infections.
2- It's cheaper than most ( if not all) antibiotics you might get from your doctor plus you don't need a prescription to buy a jug of juice at the store.
And don't forget you don't have to use just cranberry juice to get the health benefits..Cranberry Vodka cocktails work just as good!
