Urinary Tract And Incontinence Issues (tips to help)

raspberry smoothie

This raspberry smoothie (Real & Vibrant) is good for urinary health.

England is full of people who are always popping to the loo! As people get older (or sometimes due to being overweight or having bladder conditions or enlarged prostates), it seems that toilet trips are more frequent.

That’s why we need more free public toilets (as often older people don’t go out or restrict liquids, as they are worried about not finding somewhere to spend a penny).

Also if you pop to the loo a lot, switch over to forest-friendly bathroom tissue (to save trees!) These brands are just as comfy, sold in plastic-free packaging and work out cheaper when you subscribe online.

Here are some good tips for a healthy urinary tract

Stay at your ideal weight

Carrying extra pounds puts more pressure on your bladder! Learn to cook a few much-lower-in-calories plant-based recipes!

Pears (and raspberries) are low-acid foods, that don’t irritate the bladder.

Stay hydrated

Six to eight glasses of water a day is a good aim for most people. Drink two glasses before each main meal, to easily achieve this. Avoid caffeine and alcohol (they can irritate the bladder). Make a few tweaks for less leaks!

Tone up your pelvic floor muscles (women)

Tone up your pelvic floor muscles. These are the muscles you use to pee. Tighten as if you are about to pee, then 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.
