Have you experienced Bacterial vaginosis then It’s time to get honest. Now do you really think that doughnut and latte has any “real” nutrition in it to feed your body? How about that equally sad attempt to eat dinner with breaded fish finger type things and French fries? Also please don’t tell me that you think ketchup is a vegetable – it’s mostly sugar.

You may treat your body like it’s a furnace – throwing anything into it assuming it can “burn” it off. Well, it just doesn’t work that way does it – lets be honest with ourselves for once.

Even a fire will burn hotter and more efficiently with the proper fuel.

Your body needs more than fuel (calories). It needs nutrients to stay healthy. The beneficial microbes in your gut cannot create vitamins, or absorb minerals out of thin air. Junk food has no nutrients to speak of and cannot “feed” your body. Its just mostly junk sugars.

When your body goes on too long without basic nutrients, it slows down as you me well know. Systems break down and then stop working altogether. You can get away with eating poorly for quite a long time. But then one day you notice a stinging sensation when you urinate. Your vaginal discharge is now odorous. The last time you made love, it burned. What on earth is going on?

Sooner or later, all of that poor eating and junk food catches up with you. Not just with bacterial vaginosis, but also any number of other diseases due to malnutrition – diabetes, obesity etc. Your immune system can only do so much with what little you give it. Now that you have received the bad news, what can you do about it?

Eat your greens – Seriously It’s time to find a way to eat all of those things you might have left out of your daily diet.

Go easy at first. Teach yourself to like these better choices and before you know it, you’ll begin to feel a lot different – better! One day you’ll notice that you’re not so foggy brained, and that you last longer during the day. And most importantly that the bacterial vaginosis isn’t plaguing you anymore.

Once your immune system – your whole body for that matter – starts to get the proper nutrients it needs, it can get back in the driver’s seat. You actually start to live your life to the full again.

All because you started to add healthy eating choices. The question you should be asking yourself is, “So why don’t we hear doctors telling their patients to do this, if its going to improve your health?” Would you belive that many of them do. The problem is they simply give in to the patient demands of wanting a quick prescription-based fix for the problem. They don’t spend enough time discussing things with their patients.

Now you can be your own doctor by taking good sound advice to eat healthy food. your home treatment for bacterial vaginosis. In my next post I’ll talk about what that good food is and how it can help you stave off BV.
