A STUDY at Bond University has confirmed cranberry juice as an effective and natural remedy to prevent urinary tract infections.
According to results, people who drink cranberry juice regularly are 54% less likely to develop UTIs due to compounds that prevent bacteria attaching to the urinary tract walls, reducing the risk of infection.
The research aggregated the results of 20 separate studies worldwide which involved more than 3,000 participants.
Lead researcher Dr Christian Moro said the findings could ease the need for antibiotics as the sole course of UTI treatment.
"More than half of women experience UTIs and antibiotics are a go-to treatment prescribed by doctors," Dr Moro said.
"With antibiotic resistance increasing, it is vital to identify effective non-drug interventions."
