Exercising

Eating foods rich in Vitamin C

Garlic

Having garlic in the form of garlic tea is beneficial since it contains a compound that kills the bacteria causing UTI.

Avoid sugary foods and drinks

Sugary foods and drinks like carbonated drinks and even some kind of juices in excess quantity aren’t advisable. Moreover, even caffeine-containing drinks and foods such as coffee and tea can trigger UTI since these are responsible for stimulating the bladder which produces more urine.

Consuming cranberries

Making cranberries a part of your regular diet is a great way to treat UTI since cranberries make the urine more acidic which repels bacteria. Interestingly, you can add those to a smoothie or a salad to suit your taste buds better.
