CRANBERRIES AND URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS(UTIs)




Cranberries are fruits loaded with big amounts of antioxidants.

 They are good against cancer,atheromatosis,kidney stones amd stomach ulcers.


They also protect our teeth,gums and skin.


But their biggest contribution to our health is their unparalleled ability to prevent urinary tract infections(UTIs).


Cranberries contain high concentrations of proanthocyanidins type A.

This phytochemical prevents E.coli from sticking onto the epithelium of the urinary tract and thus fire urinary tract infections.


Where can you find cranberries?


In Greece you can find fresh cranberries from end of August to mid- September.


I avoid juices which are full of sugar and I opt instead for dried cranberries which I can find all year round.


Forget about antibiotics! Cranberries and a lot of water will do the job perfectly!!




To your great health!
