Q: Keeping hydrated is the easiest way to prevent a UTI, and it's also important for your overall health. Drink at least 6 to 8 8  fl oz (240 mL) glasses of water every day to help “flush out” your system and prevent UTIs. The longer urine is in your bladder, the more bacteria can grow. Women should always wipe with toilet paper from front to back, especially after a bowel movement. This prevents bacterial contamination from feces. Women, especially, should always urinate after sex to stop bacteria from moving into the urethra. Birth control methods that use spermicide increase the risk of UTIs. However, using non-oral contraceptives without spermicide increases the risk of unwanted pregnancy. A good compromise is to switch to oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices or contraceptive rings, if possible. The goal is to keep your genital area as dry as possible. Loose, preferably cotton, pants and underwear let air pass better than nylon underwear or tight jeans. No conclusive research exists yet on the connection between high-fiber diets and UTIs. However, high-fiber diets will decrease the chances of constipation, which is a common cause of UTIs. Many people prevent UTIs by eating diets full of beans, lentils, whole grains, and root vegetables.
A: Drink lots of water. Urinate as soon as you feel the urge. Take special care after sexual activity. Wear loose clothing on the lower half of your body. Maintain a high-fiber diet.

Q: Pick a reading spot that you know will be quiet and have the least amount of distractions. At home, this might be your bedroom or a room upstairs, away from shared areas like the kitchen or living room. At school, you may read in the quiet area of the library or in a quiet corner of the study hall. Choose an area that has thick walls and a door or a partition. This will help to block out noise and other sounds that could distract you from your reading. If you know there is going to be noise where you are reading, wear noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs. Close all doors to keep out noise. This will help you stay focused on the text. You should also turn off your cellphone and your wifi. This way, you are not distracted by social media or text messages. Let those around you know that you are trying to focus on reading. Put up a Do Not Disturb sign on your door. Ask others around you to stay away from your room or area so you can try to absorb the text in peace. You may instruct others to leave you alone for a set period of time, such as 30 minutes or 1 hour. This way, you are assured of some peace and quiet for a set period of time so you can focus on the text.
A: Find a quiet, isolated area. Block out noise and distractions. Tell others to leave you alone.

Q: Your eyes may be bigger than your stomach, so consider how much you would like to eat before glancing at the options. Decide how many times you will permit yourself to visit the buffet. Craft a plan and commit to it before hopping in line. Perhaps you will allow yourself to have a small starter, one healthy plate, and a small dessert, or perhaps you would like to have two moderately sized plates for dinner. When you begin to fill up your plate at a buffet, imagine that the plate is divided into four sections. This will help you visualize what a healthy meal should look like. One half of your plate should be reserved for vegetables and fruits, one quarter of the plate should contain a lean protein, and the last quadrant is reserved for whole grains. Focus on filling about half or even three-fourths of these quadrants with vegetables and fruits. Try to fill up on low-calorie, nutrient-rich vegetables and fruits to control your calorie intake while fueling your body. Scan the buffet and look for healthy, lean proteins such as fish, turkey, or chicken. Plan to limit your red meat intake, and avoid processed meats, bacon, and cold cuts. To control your portion sizes, grab a piece of protein that is similar in size to a stacked deck of cards. This should fill about one quadrant of your plate. Look for whole grains like quinoa, whole wheat pasta, or brown rice to fill up the last quadrant of your plate. Avoid processed grains like white rice, white pasta, and white bread. This should fill up the last quadrant of your plate, and should be similar to the size of a hockey puck. Looking at all the delicious food on a buffet may make you very hungry and eager to get back to the table to chow down, but be careful not to eat too quickly. Once you have satisfied your hunger, it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to pick up the signal. When you eat slowly, you are giving your brain time to catch up with your stomach to tell you that you are full. Eating slowly can help you consume fewer calories and prevent you from visiting the buffet one too many times.
A: Decide how much to eat before you look at the buffet. Imagine your plate is divided in quadrants. Fill your plate with vegetables and fruits. Portion out proteins. Eat a variety of whole grains. Eat slowly to control your food intake.
