This is key. In my more recent experience i find apple cider or even apple juice works best even better than water at flushing/eliminating k from the bladder. I think it's the acidity.
Apple a day n all
Yes, the alkalising aspect specifically. ACV balances the PH down there.
How it works for UTI's. Microbes need an acidic as in higher PH environment to thrive on, so they both breed in and further create and maintan that acidic environment.
Its all a bit confused though. Lemons and ACV are loosely referred to as "acidic", chef's- "it adds that acidity you just need to cut through the.."
It was never considered adequately from day one IMO. Because white sugar is "acidic".
But it has a very high PH, like red meat, cheese, wine, alcohol, eggs, fish, ascorbic acid!
LSD I very very strongly experct.
All high PH's, out of the neutral zone into the red.
Table salt too, or any man made refined salt, is the highest level of acidity, vs pure natural unrefined salts, the other end of the acid/alkaline scale.
Redmond Real Salt is the best too. High in natural silica. Amazing mineral for skin, bone, cartillage and general repair.
But lemons and limes, ACV, are acidic but they aren't really in my mind.
They have a low, alkaline PH.
The only thing that really matters though is what they do inside the body, how much they support or tax the body's constant efforts to maintain an optimum PH.
The "ash" left behind by all consumables with be the key.
So meat, cheese, wine, LSD and a trillion things are acidifying to the body.
While ACV, Lemon, Garlic, Onion, Kale etc etc, are alkalising.
Despite being called acidic.
But the way ACV directly influences the PH in the unrinary tract is probably a unique trait it has.
Cranberry juice too. Is the other one, for neutralising UTI's.
So Cranberry juice may or may not have some general bladder health benefits.
