Green Tea May Help Prevent Bladder Infection

There are so many benefits to drinking green tea, there probably should be a blog dedicated to just this one drink (or maybe there is one already?). The latest study indicates that compounds found in green tea may protect from bladder inflammation.

“We discovered that catechins found in green tea protected both normal and cancerous bladder cells from inflammation when we exposed the cells to hydrogen peroxide,” said Michael B. Chancellor, M.D., professor of urology and gynecology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. “Although further studies are needed, these results indicate herbal supplements from green tea could be a treatment option for various bladder conditions that are caused by injury or inflammation.”

If you’re prone to bladder infections or inflammation, cranberry juice may also be another option.

    Hey,

    There’s a terrible condition washing over the country called Indooritis, and my agency was hired by Lipton to get bloggers to join the fight. We hope you’ll encourage your readers to visit http://www.FightIndooritis.com, or at least get their friends to head outside and breathe some actual air.

    Thank you for your support,

    Brandon
