4. Take a Probiotic
Probiotics are positive bacteria that you can get through the consumption of supplements or specific types of food. Maintaining the appropriate balance of bacteria in your gut is important to your digestive and overall health. You can get your probiotics in fermented foods including kombucha, kimchi, and kefir.
You can also get them through supplements and probiotic yogurt. Regular consumption of probiotics has been shown to help immune function, digestive health, and a myriad of other things. There are many studies that suggest a correlation between probiotics and reduced risk of urinary tract infections. One study, in particular, found that a common probiotic strain known as lactobacillus was able to prevent urinary tract infection in adult women.
A different study found that taking antibiotics and probiotics together was a more effective way to prevent the development of recurring urinary tract infections in comparison to using antibiotics on their own. This is definitely reason enough to get your fair share of good bacteria.
