How one can reduce the urge to urinate

 A number of people feel the need to urinate often including myself.I have discovered that one can reduce the urge to urinate by sitting cross-legged.Sitting cross-legged sends a message to the bladder via the nerves that the outlet from the bladder is closed so it should wait before it tries to empty.

          Also by reducing one's coffee or tea consumption one can decrease the frequency of urination.
