The factors that cause yeast infection, or at least many of the factors, are closely related to food. Diet plans can prevent yeast infections from spreading and is the basic first step in holistic candida therapy. To achieve positive results in your overall general health and especially to your yeast infection condition the following dietetic rules have been established that is combined with lifestyle and nutritional standards.
1. Eliminate refined sugar and carbohydrates
a. Example of refined sugar and carbohydrates are: honey, white rice, cereals, and white flour
b. The consumption of sugar and carbohydrates can cause candida to multiply. Prevent the growth with non-gluten products such as brown rice and use Stevia instead of sugar
2. Eliminate foods that contain mold or yeast in your diet.
a. Examples such as dried fruits, canned vegetables, and mushrooms
b. These items will also promote candida growth
3. Reduce the consumption of dairy products and stop taking antibiotics
a. The goal to prevent yeast infections starts with a strong immune system. Antibiotics can weaken the immune system and kill off the good bacteria.
b. Dairy products are known to contain antibiotics.
4. Maintain the right level of PH in your blood
a. The proper level of PH will help to stop the candida overgrowth.
b. PH is measured as zero to fourteen with fourteen the highest alkaline level
c. A PH level of seven is neutral. The higher the PH level the greater the condition for candida to multiply.
5. Vitamin A
a. A study by Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York revealed that eating foods rich in beta-carotene (a natural substance that's converted into vitamin A in the body) could offer some protection against yeast infections.
A well-defined candida diet is the first step to dealing with yeast infections. Research recently indicated that the proper diet plan could be highly effective in the prevention of certain health conditions and chronic diseases, including candida infections. There is a connection between candida diet and the overall impact on a yeast infection.
We all have microbes that are found in most areas of the body. They are found in the intestines, mouth, and genitals. The microbes are kept in check in a healthy body with a properly operating immune system and good bacteria. However, certain conditions combined can cause an unhealthy balance and cause the growth of candida. The out of control growth can lead to damage the mucous membranes of the intestine, invade the bloodstream and cause symptoms related to yeast infection. The microbes are able to move throughout the body and reach different parts which results in a systemic as well as local yeast infection to occur.
