Cranberry and cystitis
Cystitis is an inflammatory process affecting the bladder, manifested by pain in the pubic area, frequent and painful urges to urinate. The main pathogens of cystitis are bacteria; however, viruses and fungi can also cause this ailment.
Cystitis can progress to a chronic stage and trouble a person several times a year, especially concerning women due to their anatomical features.
Cranberry can prevent the development of cystitis. Its red berries contain antioxidants, anthocyanins, and tannins, which have antimicrobial properties and accumulate in significant amounts in urine. Therefore, cranberry is an excellent remedy for the prevention of chronic cystitis.
What amount of cranberry can be consumed daily?
To achieve a therapeutic and preventive effect, 100 g of these berries is sufficient. It is recommended to consume them in dried form or as jam, as fresh cranberry has high acidity.
