CANDIDA YEAST INFECTION DIET

Transcription

1 CANDIDA YEAST INFECTION DIET Both men and woman can be affected, but it is mainly women and especially very young girls and older women who seem to be affected. Yeast infection is the result of too lavish growth of Candida, a form of yeast which normally appears in the lower intestine, vagina and on the skin. In healthy individuals the presence of Candida is regarded as a normal part of the intestine flora the group of organisms that exist in the lower region of the digestive track. When the immune system is healthy and functions normally, the growth of Candida will be under control. By means of the presence of friendly bacteria in the intestines (Befido-bacteria befidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus) a natural control-mechanism effectively prevents the excessive growth of Candida Albicans. Should it however happen that this :friendly bacteria suffers damage and an imbalance thereby occurs, the Candida can increase to such an extent that it can be potentially harmful to the body tissues. This condition is known as Candidacies excessive growth and increase of yeast fungus. When an imbalance exists in the bodily functions yeast infections can easily occur. Imbalances in our bodily functions can occur as a result of exposure to and the use of the following. Antibiotics and sulpha medications Steroidal hormones Immune suppressive drugs Unhealthy diet (eating habits) Various environmental factors Infections in women are linked to pregnancy, multiple pregnancies and the use of contraceptives. The female hormone progesterone (which increase in the later part of the menstrual cycle) greatly increases the susceptibility to yeast infections in women. A weakened immune system may cause Candida to grow excessively and become a detrimental to a person s general health and well-being. When Candidacies (the fungus form of Candida) is present, it can affect the mucous membranes between the blood vessels and the intestines and break it down. This breakingdown process causes harmful toxins and allergens to enter the bloodstream. As much as seventy nine different poisonous substances have already been identified in the bloodstream. Once it has entered the bloodstream these dangerous toxins can freely move to all parts of the body. Various unfavourable symptoms now appear and immune system is further compromised. This condition can be serious threat to your health and life. You must familiarize yourself with the symptoms associated with Candidacies and the destructive effect it exercises on your health before you can bring it under control and stabilize it.

Nourishment and growth of the Candida must be prevented. Do you continuously crave sweets, sugar or bread? Candidacies are nourished by sugar in the diet. The following MUST be avoided ALL alcohol (it is made from yeast and refined sugar) as well as fruit and fruit juices (starch is converted to sugar). Yogurt only natural yogurt because of friendly Lactobacilli.
