Bidet Use Promotes Health and an Improved
Lifestyle
A healthy
style of living is important for all of us, and often
times simple changes like installing a bidet and
altering our daily habits will result in
significant long term health benefits. If you or someone
you know is elderly, or suffers from mobility
problems, healthy living plays a crucial role in
enhancing the quality of one's life and can slow, or
even prevent the onset of additional maladies.
Good personal
hygiene directly impacts our health, and a bidet with
heated toilet seat can be a great gift, particularly for
elderly loved ones. Following the tips below can
make the difference between a future dependent on
assisted care or a continued lifestyle of independence.
Bathing
– Use a shower stall instead of a
bathtub, since they are generally much easier to enter
and exit. Have handrails professionally installed
around the bathing area. This will prevent a
mishap such as accidental grabbing of an unsecured towel
bar to prevent falling, which can result
in serious injury. Also, install traction
mats in the bathing area and as well as on the tile and
flooring surrounding the shower.
Toileting
– Regular trips to the bathroom
(such as every two hours) will help prevent embarrassing
accidents, especially for those who suffer
from urinary or bladder problems. Avoid drinking
caffeinated drinks at any time and do not drink fluids
two hours before bedtime.
Install
commode frames for easier sit down and get up from the
toilet. These are usually covered by Medicare.
Installing a
bidet not only benefits the elderly and those with
physical ailments, but the entire family. Bidet
use adds a higher level of cleanliness than
tissue paper and is much easier to use for persons
with mobility problems. Many brands of tissue paper also
contain chemicals and can irritate sensitive skin.
A heated bidet toilet seat can be easily installed
onto an existing toilet to provide convenient and
thorough posterior and feminine cleansing. Many
bidets also come with a warm-air dryer and a help
button, that when activated by the user, will
sound a buzzer to alert outside assistance.

Grooming
– To reduce the chance of falling
and to conserve your energy, sit down to brush your
teeth, shave, or dry your hair. Use an electric
razor, an electric toothbrush and a hands-free
hairdryer that can be mounted on a vanity.
Many of these
tips are dependent on you or your family member’s
ease of mobility and are simply recommended safety
precautions. If you are considering an assisted
living facility, make sure the
facility provides the amenities listed above to
ensure proper care and longevity. If you are
suffering from a disease like Parkinson, ask your
doctor for more information on improving your quality of
living.
