The effect of diet on sexual health
Candidiasis, breast and cervical cancer and menstrual problems can be improved to some extent with nutritional interventions and reduce their symptoms.
Recent studies on men have made the benefits of a proper diet more clear than ever in the prevention and treatment of male infertility, loss of libido, prostate gland disorders, and heart disease.
A balanced diet is the basis of the health of men and women, but it is also very important to ensure that the specific nutritional needs of women and men are met during certain periods of life.
Young women should be careful about getting enough sources of calcium and iron, while men are advised to be careful about getting rich sources of zinc and selenium.

Limiting sugar in the diet helps kill candidiasis.

They should also avoid processed foods that contain a lot of salt, such as salted meat, hamburgers, canned fish, vegetables, ready-made soup, sauces, flavorings, and salty seed kernels.
