Are there foods or drinks to watch out for when thinking about my bladder health?Updated 4 hours ago
Yes, some people find that cutting down on bladder irritants can be helpful. Examples include things like coffee, tea, and fizzy drinks, alcohol, acidic foods like citrus fruits and tomatoes, spicy foods, and artificial sweeteners. It’s different for everyone, but gently easing off these can be a good first step.
On the other hand, some foods that support your bladder include:
- Foods rich in phytoestrogens, including tofu, legumes, grains, and sprouts
- Fibre rich foods such as pumpkin seeds, almonds and lentils
- Fruit and vegetables including pears, bananas and broccoli
- Healthy fats including lean proteins, nuts, avocados and flaxseed
