Maintaining normal bladder strength is an issue for approximately 13 million Americans, 85% of them women. This issue can occur at any age. Children may also face it. Taking a dietary supplement and following a good strength plan offers hope to those who face this inconvenience.

Strength Plan:

• Drink enough fluids - at least 50 ounces (about 6 1/2 cups) per day. Limiting daily fluid intake can actually aggravate weakened bladders.
• Avoid beverages with caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase urine production.
• Eat food high in fiber and avoid beverages that can irritate the bladder (i.e. grapefruit juice and tomato based products).
• Maintain a normal healthy weight
• Avoid smoking
• Get adequate rest

Perform Kegel exercise on a daily basis. These exercises involve strengthening the muscles which control the flow of urine. They can be done in just 5 minutes 3 times a day, while sitting, standing or lying on the floor. Noticeable improvement in bladder strength may be seen within 6 weeks, however, it may take longer in some individuals.
