Foods that will help keep your healthy – This article was written by Marygrace Taylor and provided by our partners at Prevention. If your could talk, she’d probably ask for a snack. Turns out, the right foods and beverages can keep your healthy, ease discomfort, stave off infections, and even spice things up a bit between the sheets.
1. For Fewer Utis..
You’ve likely heard that guzzling cranberry juice can help fight urinary tract infections. And that’s true: The juice contains compounds that help stop infection-causing bacteria from sticking to your bladder wall’s tissue. But cranberry juice is also loaded with sugar, which means you probably don’t really want to be downing the stuff on a daily basis. Instead? Try green tea. Findings show that the catechins in this brew have a potent antimicrobial effect that could help fight UTIs. “By drinking green tea, catechins are passed through the urinary tract, decreasing bacteria and hence decreasing the risk of infection,” says ob-gyn Carolyn DeLucia, M.D., founder ofVSPOT Medi Spa in New York. Sipping two to three cups a day should do the trick, DeLucia says.2. For Cramping
If your period tends to come with a side of abdominal pain, eat more fish.Cramping during that time of the month is caused by the release of inflammatory compounds called prostaglandins, which help your uterus muscles contract and shed tissue. But the omega-3 fatty acids in fish, like salmon and tuna, boast anti-inflammatory compounds that studies suggest may help ease this discomfort.3. For Fewer Yeast Infections…
Thankfully, regularly eating probiotic-rich foods like plain yogurt, sauerkraut, or kimchi, tempeh, and miso can make a difference. “Probiotics help maintain the healthy balance of bacteria to promote a good pH to promote the healthy growth of lactobacillus,” DeLucia says.4. For Dryness…
dryness is the unpleasant result of reduced levels of estrogen, which helps keep your tissues elastic and well lubricated. But menopause, childbirth, breastfeeding, and even the use of certain allergy and cold medications can all cause your estrogen levels to fall, leaving you dry and uncomfortable. Try eating more minimally processed soy foods, like organic edamame, tofu, or tempeh. They contain estrogen-mimicking plant compounds called isoflavins, says DeLucia. They’re also hydrophilic—meaning they’re good at attracting more water to your tissues.hat reason could be that apples contain phloridzin, a compound that mimics the female hormone estradiol. What’s more, apples are loaded with polyphenols that help boost blood flow to vaginal tissue, which makes it easier to climax. Talk about a fruit with benefits.
