what to eat

MANY women experience a weakened pelvic floor as they get older. However, this can be helped by changes to your diet, as well as exercise, says nutritionist Shona Wilkinson ( shonawilkinson.com). It is a good idea to avoid alcohol, but always keep hydrated with water. Many people hope that by reducing their fluid intake, they will need to use the toilet less. Unfortunately this can irritate the bladder and lead to more trips to the loo! You should also eat plenty of apricots. These are a lowacid fruit, which means they are less likely to cause irritation to the pelvic floor. They are also packed with nutrients.
