Millions of people have bladder control issues, aka incontinence. The majority of people won’t talk about it, though.  Bladder control issues can affect people of all ages, young and old, particularly women who have given birth or men who have been treated for prostate cancer.

Bladder control issues can make leading an active lifestyle difficult. Now with Depend Underwear with Fit-Flex protection products, everyone can be active and healthy. The Depend Underwear with Fit-Flex protection features more Lycra strands for a smooth and comfortable close to the body fit. So bladder leakage doesn’t have to be embarrassing and you don’t have to let it slow you down.

Here are a few tips from Depend lifestyle advocate Mar Jennings on how to have a fulfilling life while living with bladder control issues.

• Staying active is easier when you love what you do, be it hiking, horseback riding, tennis or taking a brisk walk. Find what calls to you and get moving!
• Experience the pleasures of owning a pet. Not only can adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue group help you stay active and social, but it’s also known to help reduce stress.
• If you experience bladder control issues, there are products available that provide a  discreet and comfortable fit, like Depend Underwear with new Fit-Flex protection, which features more Lycra strands, to help give you the freedom and confidence you need to be active every day.
• Strive to push yourself to your maximum physical and mental capabilities. Take the  stairs instead of the elevator or escalator, walk whenever possible or park farther  away from the store entrance. Stimulate your mind by learning something new, like  a language or photography skills.
• Have a clear vision of what you want “you” and your life to look like in six or 12 months. Start small and think big; the results over time will be impressive.

I recently received the DVD When Calls the Heart – Lost and Found DVD to review. Produced and directed by Michael Landon Jr. and inspired by the best-selling books by Janette Oke, When Calls the Heart tells the story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young high society teacher receiving her first classroom post in a prairie town in the Western Frontier. When Calls the Heart- Lost and Found is a feature length film that features the first two episodes of the When Calls the Heart television series.

When I was offered the opportunity to receive a When Calls the Heart DVD to review, I was very happy. When Calls the Heart is based on a book of the same name written by Janette Oke. I have loved every book that I have read of hers, and loved every movie that I have seen based on those books.

Iesodo (pronounced Yay-Sa-Doe), is a wise dove whose name means “The Way of Jesus”. He and his lovable feathered friends live in the Holy Land in a beautiful Cypress Tree on the shores of a vast Lake (the Sea of Galilee to us). It’s a pretty cool tree, too. With hollowed out branches for the birds to live and play in. The birds are an unlikely group of friends, and though they have their differences, they have one thing in common: since they met Iesodo, their lives have never been the same!
