Curing Yeast Infections With Better Fashion Choices?

A January 9 article at Delaware Online traces the agonizing pain to which women have subjected themselves over the centuries in order to look great. From ancient Chinese foot-binding, to 18th century whalebone corsets to today's ultra-tight jeans and high heels, women have been torturing themselves to varying degrees since the beginning of recorded history.

Here's something interesting: According to "Ouch Couture," our fashion choices may play a role in our efforts at curing yeast infections.

That's right. Those tight hip huggers may attract stares, but they also increase the odds of developing a nasty yeast infection.

Curing Yeast Infections vs. Looking Good on a Saturday Night... That shouldn't be a hard decision, right?

Well, for many women it is. Although the article doesn't include an interview with any yeast infection sufferers, it does feature a discussion with one woman whose love for high heels has led her to dismiss recommendations for more sensible shoes from both her pedicurist and her podiatrist! Obviously, many people value their appearance over their health when it comes to making these decisions.

I wouldn't recommend those "painted on jeans" for a yeast infection sufferer, but I would tell them if they can't resist body-hugging fashion, they should also investigate ways to strengthen their resistance to yeast infection. Natural ways of curing yeast infections do work and they could serve as a safeguard against some of the risks of "ouch couture."

Linda Allen's natural method of battling yeast infection--a proven system that stops the problem dead in its tracks--is the kind of thing every fashionista should know about.

If you aren't ready to give up on squeezing into something a size or two too small, you should at least make sure you're making every other effort to stay healthy!
