Candida Diet - SECRET Dietary Treatment
Revealed
Adhering to a well defined candida diet is the first move for dealing with yeast infections.
Recent research indicates that the right diet plan may be highly effective in preventing certain health
problems and chronic diseases, including Candida infections. Before discussing the connection between candida
diet and its impact on yeast infection, we’ll take a quick look at what candida infection is and discuss the
specific conditions that bring it on.
Candida is the scientific name for single cell microbes to be found
in small amounts in the most areas of the human body: the intestines, the genitals, the mouth etc. Although in
the body that is healthy these microbes are kept in check by beneficial bacteria and an operational immune
system, a combination of certain conditions can wreck this healthy balance. Candida can grow out of control and
take on a root-like structure to damage the mucous membranes of the gut, invading the bloodstream and causing
the well known symptoms related to yeast infection. As these microbes are mobile and can reach different parts
of
the body, systemic as well as local yeast infection can occur.
There are many factors that bring on yeast infection. Some of these
factors are related closely to food. Observing diet plans that can prevent yeast infection from spreading is the
first and one of the basic moves in and make to holistic Candida therapy. Adhering to the following diet rules,
in combination with other nutrition and lifestyle principles, can bring positive results to your general health
and particularly to your yeast infection problem:
1. Stop eating a refined sugar and carbohydrates. Refined sugar
(which includes simple carbohydrates such as molasses and honey) and other refined carbohydrates (such as white
flour, white rice, any type of cereals etc.) are all
food for candida. Consuming such foods can make candida breed. To prevent candida overgrowth, use Stevia instead of
sugar and use whole grain non-gluten products (such as brown rice, buck wheat bread) to replace refined
carbohydrates.
2. Foods that contain yeast or mold (like white vinegar, mushrooms,
calm, dried fruits, canned vegetables and some condiments) can also encourage Candida and should not be
eaten.
3. To fight Candida your immune system needs to be strong. Using
antibiotics can debilitate your immune system and kill off friendly bacteria. Therefore, many nutritionists
recommend that their patients stop using antibiotics and reduce intake of dairy products that may also contain
antibiotics. Since strengthening the immune system is an integral part of preventing yeast infections, daily
consumption of garlic can lessen the likelihood of recurrent yeast infections.
4. Dairy products and cow’s milk products in particular, should be avoided to because they can lead to allergic
reactions create excessive mucus and take longer to digest. Some of the main east infection factors can include
allergies and digestive problems. Better alternatives to dairy products of Cow’s milk are organic goat and sheep’s
milk products.
5. To stop Candida overgrowth, it is important to maintain the right
acid-alkaline balance. That means the right "PH" level in your blood. PH is measured on a scale that goes from
zero to fourteen where fourteen is the most alkaline, seven is
neutral and zero is the most acid. Your body functions best in the range of PH 7.35 and 7.45 for acidity in the
blood. Any extra acidity makes for a context where candida multiplies. An alkaline food plan, which is based on
consumption of
alkaline forming foods (foods with calcium, cesium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, almonds, green juices, and most
fresh vegetables etc.) with moderate consumption of foods that form acids (most meats, fish, dairy and grain
products) can help you regain your alkaline quotient to better control candida growth.
6. A study by Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York revealed that eating foods rich
in betacarotene (a natural substance that's converted into vitamin A in the body) could offer some protection
against yeast infections.
Remember that Candida diets can be very good for halting all kinds of
yeast infections, but that they are only the first part of a full holistic therapy.
