The urinary system is very sacrosanct in the body that encompasses the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The urinary system is saddled with the responsibility of eliminating waste from the body, regulating blood volume and blood pressure, controlling levels of electrolytes and metabolites, etc. Since the urinary system is very important, we must try to always keep it healthy.
Research has shown that different drinks can help cleanse the urinary tract. Some of them include;
1. Cranberry juice
This juice is very healthy for the urinary system. Consuming it may help stave off repeated UTIs in women, but the benefit is small. It helps about as much as taking antibiotics to deter another UTI. Using cranberry products to curb UTIs may be expensive, and some women complain of the taste. Everyone should try to consume this drink regularly.
2. Water
Drinking water regularly is very healthy. Drinking plenty of water ( about six to eight glasses daily ) can flush bacteria out of your urinary tract and help prevent bladder infections. Always consume water to stay hydrated.
3. Yoghurt
Yoghurt is very healthy food for the urinary system. Eating yoghurt and other cultured dairy products (fermented with “good” bacteria) regularly may reduce the risk for urinary tract infections by up to 80 per cent. Everyone should try and incorporate this food into his or her diet.
