1) Cranberry Juice
Women are more susceptible to UTIs, being one of the most common infections physicians have to treat. “E.coli” bacteria takes up residence in the vagina and make their way up to the urethra, causing bladder infections. Cranberry juice presents a vast majority of phytonutrients that have been carefully examined for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and the results have been impressive. Proanthocyanidin, content in cranberries, prohibits unwelcome bacteria, like E.coli, to attach onto the urinary tract linings that results in infections.

2) Probiotic Yogurt
Natural probiotic yogurt is the healthiest of dairy products, providing an excellent source of several vitamins and minerals, including a great source of high-quality protein. Probiotics in yogurt are live bacteria that have been widely studied for their many beneficial health effects. Live cultures of these healthy bacteria, can help fight the infection-causing bacteria which leads to burning and pain during passing of urine.

3) Water
Our body consists of 60% water which helps transport nutrients, digest food, along with other endless duties. Plain water is a nutrient on its own, assisting every cell in the body to function correctly. Drinking plenty of water flushes out the hazardous bacteria that enter and cling on the urinary tract. The more water you drink, the less amount of urine stays in the bladder, thereby reducing the inflammation and the burning.

4) Green Tea
A cup of hot, soothing green tea is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants that have extraordinary effects on the body. Presence of flavonoids and amino acids in green tea, prevents the growth of invasive bacteria and has shown to flush out existing toxins in the body that cause harmful UTIs. Drinking two or three cups of green tea daily can help reduce bladder inflammation, which is attributed to the specific antioxidant property of this medicinal herb.

5) Garlic
Compounds in garlic are distinguished for their impressive and potent medical properties. Allicin, the major compound of garlic that is responsible for the strong “garlic smell”, is linked to anti-inflammatory and antibiotic effects across body systems. Anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties of garlic help in the treatment of infections and ward off invasion of bacteria that pass through the urinary tract.

6) Blueberries
Blueberries are high praised for their association with a reduced risk of many health-related conditions. Phytonutrients present in this priceless little berry, function as antioxidants and as anti-inflammatory agents in the body. Blueberries show to hold UTI-fighting properties which is ascribed to their anti-adhesive substances. These active substances help prevent bacteria from attaching on the walls of the urinary tract.

7) Sweet Potatoes
One of the best means to get natural relief from UTIs is food products containing high levels of carotenoids. Chemically active colors known as phytopigments, flush out the build-up of toxins in the body and show to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections. Additionally, sweet potatoes offer best sources of Vitamin A that supports a healthy immune system and is a powerful disease-fighting antioxidant.

8) Oily Fish
Oily fish such as salmon, sardines, tuna and herring, are good sources of Vitamins A and D, and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that help calm bladder inflammation. Studies reveal that omega-3s in oily fish are necessary for a healthy immune system that can fight off infections and heal painful UTIs naturally. Ignoring frequent viral, fungal or bacterial infections, could develop more serious problems with the kidneys; always seek professional medical advice.

9) Kiwi
Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, can be obtained through a good diet in common foods that are available during all seasons of the year. This crucial vitamin provides enormous antioxidant effects that are capable of preventing numerous human ailments, including bacterial infections that can spread to the urinary tract. Consumption of kiwis, a fruit being one of the best sources of Vitamin C, will help keep a normal acid condition in the urine that is necessary to prevent the growth of bacteria.

10) Oatmeal
Oats contain more dietary fiber than any other grain, and have become a very popular ‘health food’ over the years. Recent studies reveal that chronic constipation is associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infections. Constipation can put pressure over the bladder which can cause incomplete passing of urine; accumulation of urine in the bladder promotes bacteria growth. A bowl of oatmeal cooked in water and topped with nuts and berries, is a healthy way to start your day.
