Weird Things You Know How To Do If You Get Urinary Tract Infections

Making The Mistake Of Downing The Wrong Kind Of Cranberry Juice

Many women with UTIs have had the experience of downing cartons upon cartons of the wrong kind of cranberry juice. At the first sign of a UTI, they reach for a carton of juice with cranberries on it only to realize that the juice contains no real cranberries at all. These juices did not help these women fight their UTIs, so they now vigilantly read juice labels for the ingredient 'cranberries.' It is important to drink juice that contains actual cranberries because this fruit contains flavonol, a substance that helps treat UTIs by killing off and preventing bad bacteria in the urinary tract from spreading. Women with UTIs are advised to buy one hundred percent real cranberry juice or real cranberry juice that is diluted with water.
