Can Yogurt Cure a Vaginal Yeast Infection?
No.
The candida yeast lives normally in the vagina. When it overgrows, however, it causes a yeast infection, leading to itching, redness, white vaginal discharge, and burning upon urination.
Since yogurt contains probiotics, which help promote healthy bacteria, someone, somewhere, thought it would reduce the yeast. It’s an interesting idea, but it doesn’t work.
It’s better to treat a vaginal yeast infection with an antifungal cream such as miconazole which attacks the fungus. Don’t stop using it as soon as you start feeling better. Finish the treatment, or it might come back.

Hydration Leads to Happiness
Drinking a tall glass of cold water will not hydrate your skin, but it may hydrate your mood.
Mild dehydration has been linked to fatigue, headaches, confusion, and moodiness. And in the summertime, you sweat a lot more, which increases your chance for dehydration.
Don’t worry. You don’t need to drink 8 glasses of water of day, but you do need to drink water after you’ve exercised, sweated a lot, or just feel thirsty. Opt for plain water with no sweeteners.
Drink. Smile. Feel better.

Olive Oil Benefits for Your Skin
Trying to keep up with what’s hot in skincare is like trying to keep up with the Kardashians. It’s impossible (not that I’ve tried, with the Kardashians, that is.
Then how are you to know what are the latest and greatest ingredients? Well, you could listen to your grandmother.
Some of the newest discoveries in skin care aren’t new at all: Olive oil may seem hot now, but countless Mediterranean grandmothers, including mine, have sworn by its skincare benefits for centuries. Were they right? Olive oil contains caffeic acid, oleic acid, and oleuropein, all potent antioxidants. Unlike berries or teas, these antioxidants are already in oil, allowing them to be directly applied to the skin.
Topically applied olive oil helps dry skin, rosacea, psoriasis, seborrhea, burns, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, diaper dermatitis, hand dermatitis, and eczema.
Here are some ways to apply olive oil to your body:
- Rub it into your scalp and wrap your head with a warm towel.
- Rub it in your cuticles and nails to moisturize dry, brittle nails.
- Make a body scrub with olive oil and sugar.
- Coat your skin with olive oil, then take a warm, not hot, bath.
- Massage it on dry hands or feet before bedtime and wear cotton gloves or socks. Note: It can stain your sheets.
Consumed olive oil is also healthy for your skin. Eating 2 tablespoons a day might help reduce your risk for heart disease as well. (I could eat 2 tablespoons straight from the bottle on a crusty piece of bread. If you’re not so daring, you could use it in salad dressings, add it to pasta, vegetables, and soups and even drizzle a little on meats such as grilled chicken.
Remember, only virgin olive oil and extra virgin olive oil are unprocessed. Other olive oils are refined or chemically treated. Use extra virgin, which has the best flavor, for eating, and save the lesser expensive virgin olive oil to apply to your skin. Well, unless you’re a Kardashian.
