As a quadraplegic we are more likely to suffer from bladder infections. There are many things you can do to help prevent these, including being sure to drink enough fluids. I remember hearing years ago how cranberry juice can help prevent bladder infections. Something in the cranberry juice helps prevent the bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract.
I came across this article that talks a bit more about it (link in 'helpful links). It talks about cranberries being used to prevent or treat UTIs (urinary tract infections). Worth a read.
