Candida Diet – 3 Things To Steer Clear Of

A Candida diet is sometimes thought of as something that is restrictive and one the most difficult things a woman can try. Yet it really doesn’t have to be that way. The 3 things listed below that are recommended to avoid are really not that hard to implement into your eating habits.

A Candida diet is all about changing bad habits into good ones. A habit usually takes 18 days to establish or break. So, in the beginning, the going may seem a little rough. But the positive aspects of ingraining new healthy habits not can not only help eliminate yeast infections for good, but also put a you on a much healthier path in general.
Yeast

Candida is actually yeast, so when you eat yeast as part of your regular diet all that does is facilitate more of its growth. Why this is the case is a matter of debate, but it seems Candida has the capacity to assimilate other yeasts and use them to further grow.

Alcohol

Alcohol encourages fermentation, which also helps the yeast continue to grow. In addition, alcohol and yeast both release a by-product called acetaldehyde – which contribute to the common feelings associated with a hangover. Many women complain of feeling hungover when suffering a yeast infection without the alcohol thrown into the mix – don’t make things even worse by adding alcohol on top. That’s like feeding a fire.

Sugar

This is without a doubt the #1 food to avoid. Yeast thrives on eating sugar, and including sugar in your diet will undoubtedly enable Candida to continue to develop in your body. Sugar has to be cut out. Also, any foods the body breaks down into sugar have to go to – this includes breads, pastas, and anything made of white flour. Fruits have to go, too. You can add fruit back in after you are healed of the Candida.
