What Do Orange Juice, Bananas, and Urine Have in Common?

Aside from the fact that all of these items are yellowish in color, they also share a common link to a condition that affects 1 in 4 women:Female urinary incontinence.

Orange juice and bananas, like coffee and cheese, should be avoided by women suffering from urinary incontinence symptoms. Why? Orange juice and coffee are both acidic, while bananas and cheese contain arylalkylamines. Food and drink that are either acidic or have arylalkylamines can worsen urinary incontinence symptoms in women.

That’s bad news unless you want to walk around with wet panties all the time. 

But don’t worry. This doesn’t mean that a chunk of cheese can never cross your lips again. It just means that if you suffer from urinary incontinence, you need to pay attention to what you eat and drink.

You don’t have to avoid foods and drinks that are acidic or contain arylalkylamines, altogether. Just eat or drink these items in moderation.
