Yeast Infection Knowledge - The Truth Behind Your Yeast Infection
Educating yourself about your candida
infection is the first and most important step in curing this painful, annoying
and relatively dangerous chronic condition and taking responsibility over your
health and well-being.
Although yeast infection (known by the names of Candida, Monilia or Thrush) is in fact a very common condition, (as three out of four women develop it at some point in their lifetimes), it is little discussed. Most people regard candida infection as a ‘on the surface’ problem that should be treated with creams and antibiotics whereas few are aware of its potentially risky complications.
Yeast Infection is first and foremost an internal problem. Like most chronic conditions, there is never one cause for this fungal problem and thus yeast infection cannot be permanently eliminated using medications or creams that work superficially and fail to tackle the root factors that trigger the formation of candida infection in the first place.
The problem is that the majority of yeast infection sufferers choose to leave it in the hands of others: Doctors, pharmacists, drug and over the counter industries. They willingly choose NOT to take responsibility for their candida condition, for their health and for their own body.
If you suffer from yeast infection then you must have experienced the confusion stemmed from conflicting advice and from information overload. Honest information about vaginal yeast infection or any other type of candida infection is harder to come by than ever before, and nearly everyone has been misled at one time or another. I know I have. I wasted literally thousands of dollars on candida treatment programs that didn’t “work out” and anti-yeast infection products that didn’t do anything.
Furthermore, to successfully navigate through today’s jungle of misleading, dishonest and conflicting information, you're going to have to become a very shrewd and discriminating consumer.
There are in fact, alternative, cheap, safe, natural and holistic health practices and methods necessary to permanently eliminate the symptoms of this disease and cure the root internal cause of yeast infection regardless of its type, location, or level of severity.
To effectively overcome candida infection, you need to be aware of the real cause of yeast infection and be able to identify its symptoms. You need to know how to self-test and diagnose your candida condition, learn about the dietary principals needed to maintain a candida free environment and about the complimentary treatments that will help you battle against the negative effects and complications of your yeast infection.
By educating yourself about the steps you need to take in order to deal with
your candida infection condition and help your body heal itself and control the
fungal overgrowth from the inside out you can and will eliminate the pain,
annoyance, humiliation and frustration associated with this condition and feel
more in control. Additionally, as a side benefits you’ll feel more energized,
healthier and vibrant. You will enjoy improved digestion, enhanced vision, and
healthier hair, skin and nails.
Knowledge is power. Embrace it. Share it and apply it and you will be yeast infection free.

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.
