Yogurt - A girls best friend

I guess you're wondering how can yogurt be a girls best friend; well guess what it is. The reason is because of a Probiotic bacteria called Acidophilus. Acidophilus is a bacteria that helps to prevent vaginal yeast better known as "yeast infections." How is yeast infections formed? Technically fungus, yeast which is also known as "Candida" or "Monilia." It results from an upset of vaginal Ph or an imbalance of vaginal acid and bare elements. It is not a true "infection" since there is no outside bacteria that enters the body to cause a problem, but this type of infection is an over growth of Monilia naturally found in the vagina.

Now, this is where Yogurt comes into play. Yogurt has an ingredient called Acidophilus which helps to maintain intestinal health and serves as a natural antibiotic against potentially harmful organisms. Taking Acidophilus as a nutritional supplement will help maintain the normal balance of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and vaginal.

However, be careful with antibiotics because they will cause your Ph balance to become imbalanced and cause vaginal yeast. Other causes of vaginal yeast is increased stress, pregnancy, diabetes, and some birth control pills. Try to eliminate white flour, sugar, artificial sweeteners, alcohol and dairy products from your diet and of course decrease that stress.
