4. Another best way to prevent urinary incontinence is to do kegel exercises

I know we just said that daily exercise and regular walks help you regulate the bladder and maintain it healthy, but the truth is that no matter how hard it may be, a workout routine can do good to your body. And the most recommended types of exercises for bladder control are called kegel exercises, which contribute to strengthening the pelvic muscles.

How do you do them? Simple: take a yoga mat and put it on the floor, then lift your buttocks and squeeze them hard for a couple of seconds. or, if it helps, until you count to five. Then slowly relax the muscles. If your body allows you to, try making a routine out of this exercise, and you’ll sooner or later see benefits. Plus, attention to women can also contribute to a better physical aspect. See? A win-win situation!

If, however, you have issues understanding how your bladder works and want to prevent urinary incontinence, check out this book. Home and Dry: Heal Your Bladder and Improve Your Health is available both in Kindle and paperback formats. The two of them can be found on Amazon at a very affordable price!
