Honey. Honey tops the list of antibiotics and is known for its extensive healing properties. The presence of hydrogen peroxide in honey exhibits strong antibacterial properties. In addition, the high sugar content thwarts the growth of bacteria.
Pineapples – Our favorite tropical fruit contains the enzyme bromelain, which has a healing antibiotic effect when ingested. Move over cranberries, pineapples also help fight infections.
Vancomycin 3.0 is one of the most potent antibiotics ever created. It is used to treat conditions like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-induced meningitis, endocarditis, joint infections, and bloodstream and skin infections.
Vitamin C – Citrus Fruits & Greens
Consuming foods high in vitamin C such as grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, sweet red pepper, broccoli, strawberries, kale, and kiwifruit are thought to increase white blood cell production, which is key to fighting infection.
There are several studies showing the antimicrobial activity of banana peel. Ighodaro[17] evaluated antibacterial activity of banana peel extract (M. paradisiaca) against human pathogenic bacteria and found that banana peel extract showed inhibition against S. aureus, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis.
Honey is the perfect antibacterial food. The main ingredient in honey is peroxide which lends the anti-bacterial properties to it.
Antibiotics are only needed for treating certain infections caused by bacteria, but even some bacterial infections get better without antibiotics. We rely on antibiotics to treat serious, life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia and sepsis, the body's extreme response to an infection.
It's important to know eggs can only be labeled as antibiotic-free if egg farmers choose not to use any antibiotics in feed or water as the pullets (young hens) are growing or when hens are laying eggs. Certified organic eggs must be antibiotic-free by regulation.
Generally, penicillin is not present in food naturally, but there are a few products that may contain penicillin in trace amounts due to the manufacturing process. These typically include cheese, fruits and vegetables, processed grains and various condiments like ketchup or soy sauce.
Many studies have reported the antibacterial activity of anthocyanins extracted from blueberries against various Gram-positive (Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium perfringens) and Gram-negative (Salmonella enterica, E. coli and Campylobacter spp.)
Berry extracts were the most studied for their inhibitory effects against pathogenic bacteria. In particular, cranberries and blueberries contain condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) that can prevent symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are caused by uropathogenic strains of E.
In addition to the antibacterial substances in egg white, yolk immunoglobulin in egg yolk can destroy pathogens and inhibit the growth of bacteria [13]. In addition, yolk lipoprotein and yolk phosphatidic acid protein inhibit bacterial activity through lipid mediation [14].
Official answer. No, there are no food restrictions while taking the antibiotic Amoxicillin.
Stay away from raw and undercooked meats and eggs. Don't drink unpasteurized (or raw) milk or any uncooked foods made with raw milk. Avoid most cheese, except for pre-packaged cheese made from pasteurized milk. Undercooked tofu can also be a problem, and avoid miso and tempeh.
Antibiotics are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. The word antibiotic means “against life.” Any drug that kills germs in your body is technically an antibiotic.
Foods that help your immune system
Specific veggies and fruits that reduce inflammation are apples, berries, tomatoes, celery and onions. Add fermented foods. Fermented foods have “good bacteria,” a.k.a. probiotics that help your immune system.
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, or ACV. With antibiotic and antiseptic properties, ACV can help in weight management and lowering cholesterol and cancer risk. ACV can also be used as a chemical-free astringent if you need to topically disinfect or sterilize a wound.
