1. First golden rule to prevent urinary incontinence: drink enough water!

We can’t stress enough how crucial it is to drink at least 32 ounces of water per day. But the right amount might increase from person to person depending on many other factors. For example, the estimated amount recommended by doctors is 8 ounces of water in the cold season.

While drinking too much water might make you use the bathroom more often than expected, when you don’t drink enough water, it might irritate the bladder and make the need to pee more intense as the urine gets more concentrated. However, while you’re trying to hydrate, make sure you stay away from carbonated beverages, sodas, and caffeine. These three will make you urinate more often than usual!
