Good bladder health (and zero waste helpers)

Raspberries (Real & Vibrant) and pears are good for bladder health.
- More free public toilets help, as often older people don’t go out or restrict liquids, as they are worried about not finding somewhere to spend a penny).
- If you pop to the loo a lot, switch to forest-friendly bathroom tissue (to save trees!) These brands are just as comfy, sold in plastic-free packaging.
- Carrying extra pounds puts more pressure on your bladder!
- Drink two glasses of water before each meal, and avoid caffeine and alcohol, that irritate the bladder. Make a few tweaks for less leaks!
- Tone up your pelvic floor muscles. Tighten as if you are about to pee, hold for a slow count of five (don’t hold your breath). Release, reset for five seconds, and repeat 10 times. Do this three times a day.

- Uribag (free on the NHS, ask your GP) is a portable latex canister (empty your pee on the kerb, then wash at home). The female version is bedbound patients.

What causes urinary tract infections?
Urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial diseases worldwide, particularly in females (as women have a shorter urethra than men). They affect not just your bladder, but also the kidneys. They are used by bacteria entering the urinary tract, around 90% caused by E.coli bacteria.
When E.coli is unable to attach to the urinary tract walls, bacteria is eliminated from the body during urination and prevents infections from occurring. The ingredients in this supplement have to stop the bacteria, and herbs like stinging nettle and dandelion have diuretic properties, to increase you peeing out bacteria, to prevent further ones occuring.
