What Are The Benefits Of Goji Juice For Incontinence?

Loss of bowel or bladder control is known as incontinence. According to the National Association for Continence incontinence is usually the symptom of an underlying medical condition, such as infection, pelvic injury or pregnancy; it may also be related to the aging process. Goji berry juice is made from small, round goji berries that grow in the Himalayan region of Tibet. According to Dr. James F. Balch and Phyllis Balch, authors of "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," goji berry juice may may be beneficial in treating some of the underlying causes of incontinence.

Consult with a health care professional before using goji berry juice.

Diabetes Prevention and Incontinence

Drink goji berry juice to regulate blood sugar levels. According to Dr. Lindsey Duncan, contributor to the website Genesis Today, goji berry juice is sometimes used in Chinese medicine to regulate blood sugar levels, which may help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. According to Dr. James F. Balch and Phyllis A. Balch, males, particularly uncircumcised men, who develop type 2 diabetes frequently develop balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is a condition marked by inflammation of the foreskin of the penis, and results in frequent urination, which may greatly increase the risk of incontinence.

Urinary System

Support the urinary system with goji berry juice. According to the NAFC, problems with the urinary system may result in incontinence. The kidneys are a key part of the urinary system and are responsible for filtering waste from the blood and converting the waste to urine. Exposure to drugs and toxins may damage the kidneys and impair kidney function.

According to health-report.co.uk, drinking goji berry juice may support and protect the kidneys and reduce the risk of incontinence. Goji juice contains antioxidant vitamins that prevent the oxidation of free radicals. Oxidation of free radicals allows these molecules to attack healthy kidney cells, which may lead to excessive excretion of fluids.

Consult with a physician before using goji berry juice for incontinence if you have been diagnosed with a disease that may effect kidney function, such as kidney disease, high-blood pressure, lupus, liver disease or diabetes.

Bladder and Urethra Protection

Drink goji berry juice to protect the bladder and urethra against damage from bacterial and viral infections, such as urinary tract infections, that may increase urination and lead to incontinence. Goji juice is an abundant source of vitamin C, which is a powerful immune system enhancer. According to the Balches, vitamin C may help prevent and clear the body of these viral and bacterial infections.
