Maintaining a balanced urinary pH is essential for overall well-being, impacting various bodily functions. Luckily, delicious acidic fruits like cranberries, oranges, strawberries, and bananas offer a natural way to support this balance.
Introducing the Cranberry Smoothie: a delightful blend of these fruits, designed to be both a tasty treat and a powerful tool for promoting urinary tract health.
Recipe Benefits
Why This Smoothie Works:
- Cranberries: Renowned for their urinary tract benefits, cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (PACs) that help prevent bacterial adhesion in the urinary tract, reducing infection risk. They’re also rich in antioxidants and vitamin C.
- Oranges: Packed with vitamin C and citric acid, oranges support immune function and help lower urinary pH levels, protecting against kidney stones.
- Strawberries: Bursting with antioxidants and fiber, strawberries offer numerous health benefits. Their natural acidity also contributes to a balanced urinary pH.
- Bananas: While slightly acidic, bananas contain potassium citrate, which can help neutralize urinary pH. They’re also a great source of potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber.
