It seems contradictory but you can protect your bladder continence by drinking water!
We eat foods that are irritants to our bladders everyday. Some of the most common culprits are coffee, vinegar, chocolate, and citrus fruits. When our bladders are irritated, the urge to urinate increases along with increased frequency of urination.
Even if you don’t drink the generally prescribed 64 oz. of water a day, try to drink a full glass with or before each meal.
Water helps to flush our urinary systems. The better hydrated we are, the more diluted the irritants will be!
Urinary incontinence (UI) affects more than 13 million Americans. Loss of bladder control can be brought on by aging, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and other conditions.
Sufferers tend to limit their activities to avoid embarrassing situations. UI is an emotional as well as physical condition.
Good bladder health is important. Protect your bladder continence by drinking water and avoiding foods that may irritate it.

The disgraced golfing great, Tiger Woods will address media on Friday to discuss his playing future.
Woods has remained in hiding since news of his marital infidelity broke last November. He admitted to the infidelity on his website in December and has been away from the golf tournaments ever since.
Mark Steinberg, Woods manager, said the star golfer will address a small gathering of reporters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida at 8 a.m.
Steinberg said, “Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologize for his behavior. This is all about the next step. He’s looking forward to it.”
Woods has reportedly been in rehab for a sex addiction problem.
Although marital infidelity should be a personal problem, scores of his fans have been disappointed in his behavior. The ruined image of an All American superstar with a wholesome lifestyle has also frustrated many parents who held him up as an example to their children.
So when the disgraced golfing great, Tiger Woods, addresses the media on Friday, let’s hope he delivers a sincere healing message for himself and his fans.
