Kegels to control urinary incontinence

By strengthening your pelvic muscles and improving bladder control, kegel exercises help in preventing urinary incontinence which can occur as you age suggests a study published in the journal Pharmacy and Therapeutics [1]. Practice Kegel exercises at times when you are urinating. First, try to clench your vaginal muscles while urinating. This should result in stopping the urine flow. Ideally, you should be able to keep the muscles clenched and tense for 10 seconds at a time and even if you aren t able to do it, don t get disappointed. Practicing really helps and within a week or two, you will get there. Beat urinary incontinence with yoga.
