My Glass of Water

Holding back on hydration is one of the first things women do to combat light bladder leakage. We explain why this isn’t so good for you, and how you can do more for your body with water. 

Drinking water comes easily for some people – they just really enjoy it. For others, it can be a little bit harder to embrace the H2O. And then there are some who avoid it because they think it willworsen their urine leakage. 

It’s a myth.

In fact, the concentration of urine from low hydration can actually irritate the bladder and can result in bladder infections. 

Symptoms may also get worse when you are stressed, or triggered by the consumption of caffeine or alcohol.

So don’t avoid drinking water, but stick to sipping often throughout the day versus large amounts at one time. Also try keeping a diary of foods and drinks which might make your light bladder leakage worse. This will help you understand whether certain acidic, spicy or salty foods are having an effect on your bladder. 

Water can keep your weight down.
If you are hungry and it’s between meal times, have a glass of water instead of reaching for the chocolate biscuits.

Water helps to energise your muscles during exercise.

When muscle cells don't have enough fluid, performance can be compromised as they don’t work as well. Make sure you drink a small amount of water before, as well as during exercise.

Water helps you look good.

 If you’re dehydrated, your skin can look dry and more wrinkled than normal. When you are properly hydrated your kidneys work at their best to get rid of excess fluids.

If you are holding back on drinking water, it’s time to stop.
