Women should drink a minimum of eight glasses of filtered water a day. Adequate fat intake is also important for skin suppleness and elasticity. Supplemental alfalfa tablets contain vitamins A, B-12 and D as well as calcium and phosphorus. Red raspberry tea is wonderful for relaxing and helping the entire pubococcygeal area to be supple, especially toward the end of pregnancy. Greater oxygenation of tissues is not only accomplished by diet, but with exercise by increasing circulation.
Athletes train their bodies and prepare the appropriate muscles for their athletic event.
The pubococcygeal muscles need to be toned and exercised as well. These muscles, also known as the pelvic floor muscles, form a hammock to support all the woman's internal organs and surround the urethra, vagina and rectum. The toning of the pelvic floor enhances its integrity for life and will help prevent sagging organs later in life. Walking, squatting, duck walking, pelvic rocks, tailor sitting, kegels and swimming are all useful exercises.
