4 Simple Steps to Prevent Urinary Tract Infections
Simple Steps to Avoid Your Next Urinary Tract Infection!
There aren’t many infections as irritating as a recurring urinary tract infection (UTI). They are painful, disruptive and all too common! More than half of adult females have had a UTI, and many have several recurrences every year.
While UTIs may not be completely avoidable, there are some ways you can reduce your chances of recurrence by decreasing inflammation and bacteria, while boosting your immune system.
Plan:
Increase Water Intake
Super C Threshold Controlled: one tablet morning and night
Tré: one oz daily
Acidophilus Plus: 2 tablets daily
4 Simple Steps to Reduce Your Risk of a UTI:
1) Increase Water Intake
Increasing the water you drink throughout the day will create more dilute urine. You will be peeing more often, which is basically cleansing your bladder and urethra.
The extra you're drinking is allowing bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can even begin!
2) Increase Acidity in Urine
When urine has less acid (more alkaline), there is a greater likelihood of bacteria growing at a rapid rate and as a result a bladder infection can occur more easily. So, it is beneficial to keep your urine naturally acidic.
The best way to do this is by consuming more acid in your diet and with supplements. Vitamin C is perfect because it will support both immune function (reducing your chance of infection) and increase the acidity of urine, hampering bacterial growth.
Take up to 500 milligrams of vitamin C in the morning and at night to get your urine to the optimum acidity.
Super C Threshold Controlled will increase the acidity of your urine and keep you healthy!
It contains high-potency, high-purity vitamin C and vitamin C-related factors from oranges, lemons, and grapefruit to enhance bioavailability. Vitamin C is water soluble, so it can’t be stored in the body for very long. But with this product the threshold control technology helps maintain elevated blood levels of vitamin C with a slow release over 6 hours.
3) Use Super Fruits to Protect Your Urinary Tract
Both cranberries and pomegranates contain proanthocyanidins (PACs), antioxidants that have been shown to inhibit adherence of E. coli, the bacteria most commonly linked to UTIs, to cells lining the urinary tract. These super fruits act like a Teflon coating for your urinary tract! Many studies have shown their effectiveness at helping prevent recurrent UTIs.
While gulping cranberry juice may help seem like the best choice, it also adds excess sugar to your diet—which is why a cranberry and pomegranate concentrate is a better pick.
Increase the concentrated super fruits in your diet and protect your urinary tract by taking Tré.
Tré is a combination of liquid super fruits! All you need is just 1 oz a day.
It is an exclusive proprietary blend of antioxidant rich deep, dark berries—pomegranate, cranberry, blueberry, elderberry, bilberry, black currant, and red and white grapes. But it’s not just juice, Tré is a bioactive nutritional essence—a pure blend of three of nature’s most potent, health-enhancing ingredients, including acai berry and green tea.
4) Increase Favorable Bacteria
Acidophilus is a beneficial bacteria that prevents the overgrowth of pathogens and may protect against UTIs. Studies suggest certain Lactobacilli strains interfere with the adherence, growth and colonization of pathogenic bacteria and restore healthy bacteria in the urogenital tract.
Take Acidophilus Plus to increase the "good" bacteria that live in your gut and keep the "bad" bacteria (like the kind that can lead to UTIs) in check!
Acidophilus Plus contains 5 billion live microorganisms for your gut health, urinary tract health and digestive balance.
