Yeast infections are a problem for many people. They’re most often caused by Candida yeasts, especially Candida albicans .Being aware of the causes of a yeast infection can often help to head them off before symptoms begin.
For example, if you know you’ll be taking antibiotics, also take probiotics. The foods you eat may be contributing to your recurring yeast infections. Yeast loves sugar. Avoiding the following foods (also known as a Candida diet) can curb the growth of yeast in your body. White flour and rice Foods or drinks fermented with yeast, Foods made up of simple sugars
Although avoiding these foods may help you avoid a yeast infection, this diet can be difficult to maintain. Fortunately, you may not need to completely eliminate these foods to see positive effects in the number or severity of yeast infections you get. Cutting back in small amounts may help.
It may also help to increase your intake of healthy proteins and fats and increase your intake of low-starch fruits and vegetables. Eating a low-sugar diet doesn’t mean you have to go hungry; you just need to eat more from other food groups.
Here are some diet tips to fight Candida infections
1)Coconut oil
Coconut oil is almost 50% lauric acid. This makes it one of the richest dietary sources of this compound, which rarely occurs in high amounts in food. For this reason, using coconut oil as mouthwash — a method known as oil pulling — may curb thrush, or Candida infections in your mouth.
2) Probiotics
These are live bacteria often found in fermented foods, such as yogurt with active cultures. They can also be taken in supplements. Studies suggest that probiotics may fight Candidate infections
3) Garlic
This is another plant food with strong antifungal properties. This is partly due to allicin, a substance that forms when fresh garlic is crushed or damaged. garlic extract may reduce yeasts’ ability to attach to the cells lining your mouth. However, garlic provides only tiny amounts of allicin, whereas most studies use high doses.
Nevertheless, spicing up your food with garlic is safe and healthy. It might also work well alongside conventional Candida treatments. Keep in mind that using raw garlic in sensitive areas, such as your mouth, can be harmful and cause severe chemical burns.
It is good to note that when you suffer from this disease, the doctors instructions are very important. Make sure to follow them especially when you have a complicated system.
