make us big and strong. What we didn’t realize was that they would also make us regular and smell good down there as well.
Vegetables like kale, spinach, and broccoli have an abundance of minerals and vitamins that keep the blood circulating in all parts of the body. They also naturally purify your blood, making your menstrual cycle a bit easier to endure.
3. Cranberry
There’s a reason why your doctor tells you to drink plenty of natural, unsweetened cranberry juice when you have a urinary tract infection (UTI).
That’s because it’s full of acid compounds that fight the bad bacteria that cause infections. But, don’t wait until something is wrong before you start consuming cranberry.
Cranberry juice also prevents the bacteria from gathering together in the first place. It’s even better if you take cranberry supplements and vitamins daily.
4. Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are not only tasty in almost any form, but they’re rich in Vitamin A, which increases the production of serotonin, giving us the energy we need to get through the day.
Most root vegetables, actually, are great for giving us a bit of extra oomph when we need it. Additionally, sweet potatoes are said to strengthen your vaginal and uterine walls.
So, give these foods a try. We promise, your vagina will thank you for it!
