Bladder health is a topic that is rarely talked about. Since November is National Bladder Health Month, Cook Medical is raising awareness as a part of our continuing commitment to health and wellness.
You can help, too. Join the conversation, and share our bladder health infographic.
In addition to raising awareness about bladder facts, start practicing and talking about habits for a healthy bladder, like the ones below from the National Institute on Aging.1
- Drink water
- Limit alcohol and caffeine
- Quit smoking (or don’t start)
- Avoid constipation
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Exercise regularly
