The Best Way to Prevent Urinary Tract Infection's (UTI's) is to prevent bacteria from clinging to the lining of the urethra.

If you are prone to UTI's :

• Ensure you drink 100% cranberry juice daily just 1-2 oz per day will do. Don't be fooled by cranberry juice sold in your local supermarkets as these are generally cranberry juice cocktails full of sugar and bacteria loves sugar.
•  
• Drink plenty of water aim for between 8-10 glasses per day this helps to dilute the urine and can help flush out bacteria so it wont get a chance to cause infection.
•  
• Cranberry extract (Vaccinium microcarpon) can help maintain the health of the urinary tract naturally and reliably. Cranberry extract offers a host of antioxidants and nutrients that help fight infections and boost your overall health.
•  
• Probiotic's  to help your guts population of good bacteria which in turn help keep the "bad" bacteria in check and they also support a healthy immune system.
• In more than 80% of cases they are UTI's are caused by the overgrowth of the bacteria Escherichia coli (E.coli) originating from the digestive system or vagina, or more rarely the bloodstream. Infections from the digestive system are more common as the pathogenic bacteria that take a foothold in the gut are able to move easily from the anus to the urethra.
•  
• Don't hold it when you need to urinate! Women are often guilty of trying to finish a task before they go to the bathroom. Holding it when you need to go can help any bacteria that may be present develop into a full-fledged urinary tract infection.
•  
• You've probably heard that you should wipe from front to back after a bowl movement. This is especially important to help prevent bacteria from the anus from entering the vagina or urethra.
