Dried fruits and healthy fats
The fats found in dried fruits, olives, avocados, etc., regulate cholesterol levels and keep estrogen levels in balance, which affects the creation of a healthy mucous layer, which keeps infections away.
Prebiotic and probiotic foods
The vagina, like the intestines, needs healthy bacteria in order to fight infections and keep the pH balanced. To help it, consume prebiotic foods like onions and garlic and probiotics like yogurt, pickles, kimchi etc.
Avoid processed foods
They weaken the immune system by allowing bad bacteria to predominate.
Reduce doses of sugar
Large amounts of sugar can kill the important vaginal bacterium, Lactobacilli, thus ending up in various infections and irritations.
Try to avoid artificial hormones
Some meats and dairy products contain xenestrogen, an artificial hormone that mimics estrogen. It can block estrogen from the vagina, also preventing the formation of a mucous layer that would keep infections away.
Stay hydrated
As with the rest of the body, fluids are essential for the vagina. Regular consumption of water also helps to avoid bad odors.
