Certain foods and drinks contain compounds that may improve vaginal health and symptoms of vaginal conditions.
The vagina uses natural secretions, immune defences, and “good” bacteria to keep itself healthy. Eating a healthful, balanced diet might also further prevent infections and improve vaginal conditions.
Ladies, for a healthy, feel-good, orgasm-rich vagina, it starts with your diet. This healthy diet allows your vagina to be sensitive when it needs to be and be healthy inside and out for you and your partner. Here are some five foods you need to be eating:
- Spinach
Spinach is rich in magnesium, a mineral that decreases inflammation in blood vessels and increases blood flow. Increased blood flow drives blood to the extremities, which, like Viagra, can increase arousal and make sex more pleasurable.
- Carrot
Researchers found that women who consumed flavonoid luteolin (found in carrots, cabbages, and peppers) saw a 34% reduced risk of ovarian cancer.
- Water
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, but guzzling down H2O is probably one of the best things you can do to your vagina.
Hydration is key for overall health, but also for proper functioning of the vagina which has its own self-cleaning system. Adequate water intake will increase lubrication, allow secretions to be released and proper PH balance of vaginal tissues.
- Garlic
We’re not telling you to consume it in raw form (unless that’s your thing), but adding garlic to your meals can provide much protection to your vagina. Thanks to its anti-microbial properties, garlic can help fight yeast infections.
- Coconut oil
Coconut oil is yummy to eat, but this product really shines when you introduce it to your sex life. Adding coconut oil down there doesn’t only get your vagina more lubricated, but its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties do a great job at preventing yeast infections. And improve things in the bedroom with these foods to increase your sex drive.
