Natural Ways
What if I told you about some very effective home remedies for yeast infections? Is it too good to be true? Let’s find out for ourselves. Candida albicans is the yeast that causes yeast infections. Candida treatment boils down to one simple and essential step:
Diet. Doctors around the world recommend the ‘Candida Diet’ to treat yeast infections. It is not a diet that is special, but it is our normal diet with a few exceptions. This diet regulates Candida’s growth and prevents it from overgrowing. You can follow the Candida diet by shopping for your food items personally. To ensure you don’t eat certain ingredients in your regular meals, carefully read the labels.
Remember
Refined sugar and sugar-based products should be avoided. As they are sugar-based, edible synthetic preservatives, molasses and pastries, chocolates, and confectionaries, must be avoided. Be prepared to make tough decisions as this fight is only going to get more difficult. Consume lots of whole grains and other grain-based products.
Fibrous foods products are recommended as they help maintain regular bowel movement. Even if you have to stop drinking coffee, it is worth reducing your caffeine intake. It is best to avoid alcohol for a while as alcoholic beverages are fermented using yeast. You should not eat mushrooms, salad dressings or mayonnaise, as well as food garnishes.
Take Note
Olive oil is a good choice for cooking as it helps prevent the spread of yeast infection. Fresh lemon juice is a great way to keep your intestinal tract acidic and prevent yeast growth. Because of their high sugar content, dairy products such as butter, cottage cheese, and cheese should be avoided.
Buttermilk is rich in probiotic bacteria so you can enjoy lots of delicious buttermilk. You can get useful Vitamins from buttermilk, yogurt, and curd (unsweetened). They also contain Lactobacillus Acidophilus bacteria which releases essential antifungal enzymes. They not only cure yeast infections but also prevent them recurring.
Grapefruit seed extracts and olive leaf extracts are also very effective in fighting yeast infections. Because they are high in zinc, lentils, pumpkin seeds extracts, and fishes such as sardines should be included in your diet.
Zinc helps to control the Candida yeast level. Try to consume at least two tablespoons of honey each day. Honey is an effective antifungal agent.
Probiotics
Probiotic supplements should be included in your diet. Also, you should consume more fatty acids. These can be found in flaxseed oil and fish oils, which are also very good for the heart. You should also increase your intake salts and spices as they contain valuable vitamins and minerals such as calcium and sodium.
