Cut Down on Poultry and Meat
There are some studies that have found links between contaminated meat and poultry and the Escherichia coli strains of bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections. While they don’t necessarily prove that their consumption can lead to UTI, the bacteria can make its way to your urinary tract from the digestive system and potentially cause infections that may aggravate the condition, if not trigger its onset.
Therefore, to reduce risks, it makes sense to cut down on these types of food. Instead, increase your consumption of vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, nuts, and grains. Not only will they make you less vulnerable to and help treat UTI, but your calorie consumption will drop, and you’ll have less fat, allowing you to lose weight healthily. Moreover, meat intake reduction can also have protective effects.
Since processed meat products can make people more susceptible to potentially dangerous diseases, you’ll be able to avoid the risks by eating them less. That isn’t to say you should stop eating poultry or meat altogether, as they’re still necessary for healthy living. As long as you don’t overindulge and instead emphasize vegetables and fruits more, you’ll be able to reap the benefits that come with a healthy diet.
