Summarize the following:
Yogurt has the same kind of "good" bacteria that your vagina needs to stay healthy. You can replenish your body's bacteria by making yogurt part of your daily diet. Eating yogurt is a great way to both prevent and treat yeast infections. Other foods besides yogurt also help your body in this way. Kimchi, kombucha, and other fermented foods can be substituted for yogurt if you aren't a big fan. Yogurt pills are also available if you'd prefer not to ingest yogurt on a daily basis. Cranberries, pineapples, strawberries, and other fruits help to freshen the smell of the liquids secreted by the vagina. Eating fruits won't exactly make your vagina smell fruity, but it can help you develop a more pleasant scent if that's something you're concerned about. Fruit also has a high water content, and staying hydrated helps flush the body of toxins that can lead to bad smells. Sugar can make a yeast infection worse, so it is important to limit or avoid excess sugar. Don't add sugar to your food, and check labels to identify foods that have added sugars. Also, steer clear of processed carbohydrates and alcohol since these are high in sugar. Garlic has properties that kill yeast, making it an effective tool for preventing and treating yeast infections. Eating cooked or raw garlic a few times a week is a great way to keep your vagina healthy. It has also been said to help get rid of bad vaginal odor. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and the pubococcygeus muscle. These muscles tend to get looser and weaker with age and after giving birth. Strengthening them can help you avoid issues like urinary incontinence and also increase sexual pleasure. To do kegel exercises, follow these steps: Locate your pelvic floor muscles. To do this, pretend you are stopping urination in midstream. The muscles you use to stop are the ones you are targeting with kegels. Tighten the muscles and hold for three seconds, then release. Repeat this 15 times. Continue doing kegel exercises daily, holding for longer and adding more repetitions as you gain control. The vagina is also strengthened through sexual activity and pleasure, since sex keeps it toned and elastic. Having regular intercourse is a good way to keep yourself in shape. Focus on tightening and releasing the vagina during sex to exercise the vagina as much as possible. Try mula bandhas (practiced in yoga) to help strengthen your pelvic floor. Using a vibrator can help you achieve the same effect. Jade eggs, vaginal cones, ben wa balls and vaginal barbells are also implements designed to exercise the vagina through "weight-lifting" techniques.
