The rise of antibiotic resistance has the medical field concerned.
So a good look at cranberry juice to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections is being applauded by doctors.
Global leaders in infectious diseases met in London to discuss how cranberry juice could potentially have positive results preventing and treating common infections.
The new research discovered a daily glass of cranberry juice could be help decrease use of antibiotics.
The study, published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed a nearly 40 per cent reduction of symptomatic UTIs in women who consumed one glass of cranberry juice a day.
These infections are the second most common reason for prescriptions, but there is a resistance to antibiotics and the everyday treatments no longer effective.
Is it serious? UK Chancellor George Osborne warned that unless action is taken, 'antimicrobial resistance will become an even greater threat to mankind than cancer currently is'.
Speaking at the event, Dr Nathalie Tufenkji, event panelist and Canada Research Chair in Biocolloids and Surfaces, said: 'The growing spread of antibiotic resistance could undermine decades of work. We need to find alternative treatment strategies for infections.'
Very interesting that once again nature may hold the answers to many medical questions.
We would like to remind everyone, "we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. When we reconnect with nature, we’ve reconnected with ourselves."
Nature has invested almost 4 billion years creating the perfect answer for every question or challenge humans can come up with.
