Lifestyle and dietary changes

  • Increase fluid intake : Drinking enough water supports the natural cleansing of the urinary tract and helps reduce the risk of infections and kidney stones.
  • Balanced diet : Consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, low in salt and processed foods, can support kidney health.
  • Reducing the consumption of harmful substances : Low alcohol consumption and avoiding smoking contribute to overall health and the prevention of damage to the kidneys and urinary tract.

Dietary supplements

  • Cranberry : Helpful in preventing urinary tract infections by making it difficult for bacteria to attach to the bladder wall.
  • D-Mannose : A simple sugar that helps prevent bacterial infections in the bladder.
  • Vitamin C : May help increase the acidity of urine, which can make it harder for bacteria to survive in it.
  • Magnesium : A supplement that can help prevent kidney stone formation by reducing excess calcium in the urine.
  • Probiotics : Can support the health of the urological system and microbial organisms in the urinary tract.

Medicinal plants

  • Sword Lily : Known for its ability to help treat urinary tract infections.
  • Bracha leaves : Considered a laxative and cleanses the urinary tract, supporting kidney health.

When using supplements and herbs, it is important to be aware that they can interact with certain medications and are not always suitable for everyone. It is always advisable to consult a doctor or clinical dietitian before starting to use supplements, especially if there are any regular medications being taken or existing medical conditions.
