Chili peppers.
Chili peppers contain a high amount of capsaicin, a substance that helps relax the bladder wall and reduce the intensity of pain caused by smooth muscle spasms or increased intravesical pressure (due to obstruction by stones). One of the studies showed that consuming this product improves the condition of patients with an overactive bladder. This disorder can occur with a wide range of pathologies affecting the brain or spinal cord, as well as congenital anomalies of the bladder structure. Chili peppers are recommended for neurogenic bladder dysfunctions and congenital anomalies and developmental defects.
Pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds are rich in valuable omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and improve overall conditions for urination disorders caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. According to scientists, pumpkin seeds reduce urinary incontinence and normalize the muscle tone of the bladder, thereby preventing the development of other diseases. This effect is attributed to the presence of sitosterols found in the oil of the seeds. It is advisable to include a pumpkin in the diet when there is an inadequate bladder motility due to both damages to the organ wall and external causes. This beneficial product is also a powerful natural diuretic that helps cleanse the kidneys and heal cystitis and cholecystitis.
Coffee.
It is known that coffee has a diuretic effect. According to scientific data, a dose of 6 mg/kg of caffeine significantly increases fluid excretion from the body, activating the motility of all sections of the urinary system and leading to the expulsion of small stones and salts that can cause symptoms of kidney stone disease. Coffee is an excellent diuretic for preventing kidney stones and urinary retention. As is known, urinary retention increases the risk of inflammatory infectious diseases of the bladder (urethritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis).
Cranberries.
Cranberries have a broad-spectrum antimicrobial action (they are effective against most gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria). The flavonoids in cranberries help prevent cystitis and urethritis. Cranberry juice is recommended for patients with nephrological issues not only for detoxification but also for protecting the urinary system from damage. Researchers have found that cranberry juice reduces the excretion of oxalates and their concentration in urine, lowering the risk of kidney stones and reducing the likelihood of cystitis.
Fermented red rice.
Fermented red rice has been shown to have chemopreventive effects against chemically induced carcinogenesis, reducing the proliferation of immature epithelial cells in the bladder mucosa. This product is useful for preventing cystitis and other diseases. Additionally, the consumption of rice aids in cancer prevention.
Blueberries.
Blueberries promote the elimination of small stones (mainly oxalates) from the bladder, thereby reducing the risk of clinically significant kidney stone disease. It has been proven that blueberries, due to their high anthocyanin content, which has antioxidant properties, help prevent atrophic changes in the mucosa of the urinary tract. It is recommended consuming blueberries more often to lower the risk of stone formation in the urinary system.
Apples.
The bladder helps remove harmful substances from the body. If its functions are impaired, you will need to take care of its cleansing yourself. Pectin found in apples binds and eliminates waste, toxins and heavy metals. Eating one apple a day can help avoid intestinal issues, the development of gallstones and cholecystitis and reduce the frequency of respiratory illnesses.
But if you have some disease or your condition worsens, it is necessary to consult a doctor who will prescribe the appropriate treatment (such as Bactrim DS, or Arrow-Roxithromycin) for faster recovery.
