Candida Yeast Infection Diet – What to Eat and Avoid
Yeast infection or Candidiasis is caused by micro organisms known as Candida Albicans. Usually, this organism lives and stays in our intestine or gut harmlessly as desired by nature. But, if the ecology of gut is disturbed and the natural balance goes off the track, then Candida starts multiplying and overgrowing.
Yeast can infect under the breast, vagina, nail beds, around the dentures and can affect anyone at any age. There are many remedies like creams, medications to fight this menace but you can also combat this infection naturally by treating it with home remedies. There is a direct relationship between the food intake and your body’s ability and capability to fight Candidiasis or yeast infection. Thus if you want to stay yeast free, then you should eat anti-candida diet.
In order to avoid the overgrowth of Candida and to fight the infection with diet, you should know what causes it and where this yeast thrives. You should avoid food that multiplies it growth and take diet that curbs it growth.
You can increase the intake of the following into your diet:
- Yogurt: Plain yogurt helps to fight yeast and can be used internally and externally. But, use plain unsweetened yogurt only. Since, yeast thrives on sugary or sweet foods, you should avoid sugar. You can make your own yogurt from soy milk or other type of milk and it improves the digestion and the good bacterial helps to fight yeast. You can also rub yogurt topically or dip tampon in plain yogurt and insert into the vagina for a brief period and rub it off after some time.
- Garlic: The biggest enemy of yeast is garlic. It is one of the best homemade remedy for instant relief. You can include in your garlic or insert garlic clove in vagina for soothing relief or apply garlic liquid or crushed garlic on infected skin. This amazing natural antibiotic can be swallowed down with water as it not only curbs the growth of yeast in the gut but also helps in controlling arrhythmia and reducing bad cholesterol.
- Apple-cider vinegar: Apple-cider vinegar can also be used internally and externally. The health benefits of this vinegar are countless but as it is very strong you should not apply it directly on the skin. But instead you can add a cup of vinegar in to your bathwater and take a nice hot bath. This will soothe the itching and give temporary relief. Never use plain white vinegar because that will intensify the growth of yeast.
Just, as there are benefits of knowing the best diet you should take, you should also know what foods you should avoid in your yeast infection diet.
