Condition analysis:
By some estimates, as many as half of all adults will suffer from incontinence -- the loss of bladder or bowel control, causing leakage -- at some point in their lives. But incontinence isn't a normal or inevitable consequence of aging. It's a symptom of a problem, not a disease itself.

Urinary incontinence is much more common in women than in men, and it's more common than fecal incontinence. A national survey in 2005 found that 12 percent of women ages 60 to 64 reported daily urinary incontinence, as did 21 percent (or more than one in five) of women over age 85. Nine percent of men of all ages reported having had a bladder control problem in the previous 30 days.

Instructions:
Vitamin D is well-known for increasing strength of the muscles which can help fighting against Urinary Incontinence. People especially women who possess high level of Vitamin D will have less chance to face pelvic floor disorders which can cause Urinary Incontinence.

How to use:
Sunbath in the early morning helps the body generating Vitamin D.
Consume rich-Vitamin D foods such as seafood, fish, egg yolk and other dairy products.
Consume Vitamin D supplements according to the doctors’ advice.
