Drinking Plenty of Water Protects Against Urinary Tract Infection
Water, the secret of life.
A recent study found that drinking a large amount of water may protect women from urinary tract infection.
Increasing the intake of fluids reduces the risk of urinary tract infection in two ways: by preventing bacteria from sticking to the bladder, and by reducing the overall concentration of the bacteria that can cause infection, said Thomas M. Hooton, head of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Miami University School of Medicine.
The study involved more than 140 women who had suffered of urinary tract infection at least in the last three years. Experts asked participants to drink an additional 1.5 liters, or six cups of water per day.
Experts said they could not determine the amount of water to drink daily to get more benefits, but they stressed that drinking any high amount of fluids—even other than water—has many benefits to health.
The study was presented this month at the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society.
Amazing what water can do! This brings my mind to the importance of protecting our drinking water around the world...In my world people just take clean water for granted, they think only the other countries have problems, and they don't keep in mind that this is a global issuse, that takes a lot of effort! We all have to do something about it.
Drinking a lot of water daily helps our body a lot, yhanks for sharing this.

Very good advice....drinking lots of water to prevent UTIs. A health professional friend of mine does this as she was getting UTIs. She also takes and recommends a natural supplement called D-Mannose to help prevent UTIs. However if someone has a UTI they should go to a medical doctor.
P.S. I am not a medical practitioner, I do recommend going to a medical doctor to get treated. Wishing everyone perfect health.
