Could your daily habits be affecting your bladder?


As people set new intentions for the year ahead, health is often top of the list


But bladder health is one area that’s still


routinely overlooked,


around one in three people experi- encing bladder weakness at


despite some


point in their lives. Leaks and urgen- cy may be common, but they’re not an inevitable part of ageing and they’re certainly not something people have to just put up with. Te good news is that bladder


health can be highly responsive to small, consistent changes. Jude — a healthcare company specialising in science-led bladder and pelvic health — recommends these simple daily habits to help improve bladder strength and support confidence and ease in everyday life.


SIP, DON’T GULP It can feel instinctive to drink less if leaks are an issue, but dehydration often makes bladder symptoms worse. A well-hydrated bladder lining is less easily irritated. Te key is not how much people drink, but how they drink. Sipping fluids steadily across the day is far kinder to the bladder than large amounts all at once. Try pairing a glass of water with


natural pauses in your day, first thing in the morning, when you sit down to work, and mid-afternoon. Gentle, consistent hydration sup- ports comfort without overwhelming the bladder.


LEARN HOW TO PEE PROPERLY How people empty their bladders really matters. Sitting fully on the toi- let with feet flat on the floor, leaning slightly forward and relaxing your bel- ly helps the bladder empty completely. Rushing, straining or hovering can leave urine behind, which may trigger irritation and repeat urges. Tis habit is less about technique


and more about slowing down and letting the body do its job.


STRENGTHEN YOUR PELVIC FLOOR Your pelvic floor supports the blad- der during movement, laughter and lifting. Tese muscles respond best to regular, gentle activation rather than intense or occasional effort. Linking a few controlled squeezes to everyday moments such as brush-


Alongside changes to lifestyle habits, targeted nutritional support can be an especially effective way to support bladder health


ing your teeth, waiting for the kettle to boil or sitting in traffic helps build consistency without it feeling like another task on the list.


UNDERSTAND YOUR TRIGGERS AND AVOID CONSTIPATION Diet plays a bigger role in bladder comfort than many people realise. Regular meals with enough fibre sup- port healthy digestion, while being mindful of common irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, citrus and spicy foods can reduce urgency. Constipation is a key but often-


missed factor. When the bowel is backed up, it puts pressure on the bladder, so keeping things moving helps both systems work better together.


CONSIDER TARGETED NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT Alongside changes to lifestyle hab- its, targeted nutritional support can be especially effective. As hor- mones shift with age, the bladder often benefits from steady, ongoing care rather than quick fixes.
