The BV Free Lifestyle
Introduction
In the last chapter we discussed the cures for BV that will get you out of
immediate pain.
In this chapter, we are going discover not only how to ensure your BV
doesn’t return but also how to improve your overal health.
The Effect of Diet on your Body
The rewards of a nutritious diet are almost unbelievable. Not only will this
help your Bacterial Vaginosis, but it will also eliminate many other health
problems such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and the list
goes on and on. In fact, there isn’t a single disease that isn’t reversed or
eliminated by changing what you eat and drink.
If you’ve been living off of candy bars, chips and cookies, your energy and
moods with improve drastically. If you suffer from indigestion, gas,
bloating, and constipation, you’ll be happy to know that by following this
diet these problems will also be eliminated. In addition, you’ll catch fewer
colds, drop unwanted fat, hair will become stronger and healthier, and your
skin will clear up. In most cases, changing your diet is all that is needed to
restore balance.

Eliminate Refined Carbohydrates and sugar habit
Refined carbohydrates and sugar play an important role in maintaining the
delicate balance between good and bad Bacterial. You must do your best
to eliminate them. Refined carbohydrates such as white pasta, white
bread, white rice, baked goods, are loaded with calories but are void of
nutrition. They all cause your insulin to be chronically high. They also
suppress your immune system and lead to an overgrowth of bad Bacteria.
Sugar is especially bad.
Refined Carbohydrates are ones that have been processed to remove the
fiber and nutrients. You want to eat only unrefined foods such as whole
grain bread and fruits and vegetables.
Also, do not consume any food that has NutraSweet, Splenda, Aspartame,
Sucrolos, or Saccrin on the label. These artificial sweeteners are also
extremely toxic to your body.
If you need to use a sweetener, choose Stevia as your first option. This is
an all-natural herb which actually helps regulate blood sugar. You may also
use small amounts of other natural sugars such as raw organic agave
nectar, raw organic honey, or raw organic sugar cane. No refined white or
brown sugar. Remember, science is not better than nature. Natural
sweeteners are always better than artificial chemically made sweeteners.
To heal yourself of BV you also need to be mindful of the type of
carbohydrates that you eat.
Eliminate Dairy and Meat
Milk is loaded with dangerous substances that everyone should avoid,
especially women with BV. Dairy products are loaded with pesticides,
unnatural hormones including hormones injected by farmers to make the
cows grow faster, as well as hormones meant for the baby calves that are
34
supposed to be drinking it. DO NOT eat any dairy.
It’s best to avoid meat altogether. Today’s conventional meat is loaded
with hormones and antibiotics and artery clogging fat. If you absolutely
must have to eat meat, make sure it’s not more than 5% of your overal diet
and it’s organic. Organic farms don’t use hormones and antibiotics and
feed their animal’s food they would eat naturally.
Drink Plenty of Water
The human body is two-thirds water. Water is an essential nutrient that is
involved in every function of the body. It helps transport nutrients and
water products in and out of cells. It is necessary for all digestive
absorption, circulatory and excretory functions, as well as for the use of
water-soluble vitamins.
Water is also needed for proper body temperature. By drinking 1 litre of
water for every 50lbs you weight per day, you can sure that your body has
all that it needs to maintain good health and discourage infections like BV.
Avoid Processed Foods
If the words low-fat, non-fat, trans-free, is printed on the package, it must
be healthy right? Wrong! Processed foods
