Fix Your “Gotta Go” Woes TODAY
It’s one of the most common, yet rarely discussed, health issues plaguing women.
Urinary incontinence affects more than 50 percent of middle-aged ladies. And the condition becomes even more prevalent as you age, with up to 80 percent of those in their 80s quietly fighting this battle.
Since most women are reluctant to talk about it, they suffer with their incontinence in silence. And the few mainstream medicine options that exist can be pricey, come with disturbing side effects, and be ineffective.
Now, picture there’s a drug, surgery, and device-free solution that’s non-invasive, affordable and doesn’t require a trip to the pharmacy.
Sounds like a dream, right? Well, welcome to your new reality.
Many women put up with the discomfort of urinary incontinence because they believe it’s an inevitable part of aging. So, they choose to save themselves the embarrassment and remain silent.
But it turns out, relief could be found in an unexpected place.
A groundbreaking study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine revealed a simple, effective approach to managing this common issue. And the best part is that it doesn’t involve medication or surgery.
This breakthrough solution is yoga!
This ancient practice is often used to relieve stress and increase flexibility. But now researchers say it can also help with urinary incontinence.
Researchers from Stanford Medicine and the University of California, San Francisco, conducted a 12-week study involving 240 women ages 45 to 90. The participants, all of whom experienced daily incontinence episodes, were divided into two groups…
- The first practiced specific yoga poses.
- The second did general stretching and strengthening exercises.
Both groups saw a significant drop in incontinence episodes, with participants experiencing about 65 percent fewer incidents by the end of the study. Incredibly, this improvement is comparable to the effects of medications commonly prescribed for the condition.
However, the benefits of this approach extend beyond just managing incontinence.
Many women with this condition avoid social activities and dodge exercise due to fear and embarrassment. However, taking a yoga or stretching class is an excellent way to stay active and engaged.
So, whether you’re dealing with incontinence yourself or know someone who is, remember that relief might be just a yoga mat away.
It’s time to break the silence around this widespread issue and embrace solutions that empower women to live their best lives at any age.
