Starvation-grade minimum caloric intake is generally considered to be roughly 1200/day for women and 2000/day for men, assuming a totally sedentary (bed rest) lifestyle. Below this level, the body gradually starves to death.
It's normal for your vagina to have a slight odor. But, a strong vaginal odor â for instance, a fishy smell â might be abnormal and could indicate a problem. An abnormal vaginal odor is usually associated with other vaginal signs and symptoms such as itching, burning, irritation or discharge.
Every female has a natural vaginal scent that can change throughout her menstrual cycle. A strong odor however, can be a sign of an infection, particularly if she is sexually active. Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIâs) such as trichomoniasis can cause a different odor. A womanâs vagina is naturally filled with bacteria but when there is an overgrowth, the condition is called bacterial vaginosis and causes a âfishyâ odor. Not all vaginal odors are caused by an infection, however. For example, poor hygiene or tight fitting clothing or fabric that doesnât breathe can cause sweat and bacteria to get trapped which can cause and unpleasant odor. But donât be fooled by products such as douches or sprays that claim to âcleanâ your vagina.
