Can Cranberries Support Urinary Tract Health?

據統計,泌尿道問題是世界第二常見的女士困擾。如果處理不當,將會造成很嚴重的後果。

多年來,人們特別注意蔓越莓對泌尿道的保護作用。這些研究表明,在Cranberries裡發現的多酚有助於抵抗大腸桿菌對陰道和膀胱的粘附作用。泌尿道問題可能發生在嬰兒,兒童和男性身上,但一般女性更常見。

女性因其身體構造更易接觸到外部污染,所以她們得泌尿道問題的機率會更高。有研究表明超過半數的女性在其一生中都有出現泌尿道不適的情況,而大約25%的女性至少會復發一次。性行為會使陰道暴露於細菌感染。又因女性的陰道開口在肛門附近,從後往前的擦拭法可能會導致細菌進入尿道。

蔓越莓是如何維持泌尿道健康

常見的療法通常是用抗生素治療的,但是這種方法被證實是不可靠的。因為細菌會隨著時間的流逝而對抗生素產生抗體,然後需要更強的抗生素,那徹底消滅細菌所花的時間會更長。基於此,治療師們對幾種自然替代療法產生了興趣。

Cranberries是酸酸澀澀的紅色水果,常見於北美。人們已經開始研究蔓越莓產品的潛在效果了,測試最多的產品有果汁和片劑或膠囊,裡面含有蔓越莓提取物或粉末狀的水果成分。

Cranberries含有高濃度的多酚,當人體攝入蔓越莓時,這些多酚會起到防黏性的作用。也就是說它們使細菌無法在陰道壁或膀胱壁中粘附。一旦這個起作用了,頻繁排水就有很大的機會將有害的細菌排出體外。

A 2013 study administered cranberry to 28 women with a history of recurrent urinary tract infection. The two-week consumption period showed a reduction in the overall numbers of E. coli in the intestine.

Cranberry consumption is inexpensive and is readily available as a supplement to a woman’s diet.Taking regular doses of cranberry supplements is particularly advisable in the period of menopause of and pregnancy in women. This is because women have weaker immunity during menopause. However, during pregnancy, the uterus expands and presses the bladder, making the latter unable to empty completely. Thus, cranberry consumption may be necessary to keep the bladder healthy and flush traces of bacteria.

Conclusion

一些治療師們正在研究結合益生菌和蔓越莓的作用來維持泌尿道健康的策略。在現階段,研究還沒有得出確切結論證明蔓越莓有助減輕症狀,但服用蔓越莓確實有助於預防和保護女性膀胱健康。
