May 29, 2018

Many of you readers base your diet on nutritional value or number of calories. Few of us, however, base their diet on what certain foods can do to our genitals.

If you want to alter your diet to make sure you stay date night fresh down there then you need to study up on these nine foods that can wreak havoc with your dainty “down there.” 
 

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a drink or two. However, as Doctor Angela Jones, M.D., FACOG confirms, alcohol is significantly “drying.” If your overall body is dry your vagina could become dry. If you’re not hydrated it will be harder for you to lubricate itself. 
 

We all know asparagus makes your urine smell bad. Jones notes that it can also change your vagina’s pH which could give it an unappetizing odor. The stink will dissipate in a couple of days but avoid it prior to any romantic weekend. 
 

Broccoli is healthy but it also can cause your vagina to smell. You don’t have to eliminate it from your diet just avoid eating before that intimate getaway. Enjoy it when you’re between men or are having some “me time.” 
 

According to the website livestrong.com, eating too much cheese can disturb your vagina’s bacteria levels. This Can lead to a yeast infection. Cut down on the cheese and eat more yogurt. Yogurt has probiotics that are actually good for your vagina. 
 

We all need our caffeine but coffee can not only increase your likelihood of getting a yeast infection but will also alter the scent of your vagina. In some cases, caffeine can set off stress which can make your body significantly more vulnerable to infections. 
 

Avoid eating too much fried food. French fries are great comfort food but your vagina will thank you if you don’t go overboard. Doctor Sara Twogood MD, FACOG reports that some studies report a link between fatty foods (anything fried) with a heightened chance of getting bacterial vaginosis. 
 

If a food can give you bad breath it can also give you vaginal odor. Medicaldaily.com reports that onions change the composition of your vagina’s bacterial flora which creates a strong, unflattering odor.
 

Like cheese, eating white rice, white bread or any other food high in refined carbohydrates, can increase the risk of yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis, The University of Maryland explains that these foods increase your blood sugar which creates a “prime environment” for hungry bacteria. 
 

Christine Greves, MD, OB/GYN agrees that eating foods high in sugar can increase your chances of having a yeast infection. Sugar, warm, and moisture equal yeast infection. So avoid eating lots of sugar if your panties are going to be warm and moist for any amount of time.
