Detox Diet Against Candida

Candida - Cleansing Internally

Physicians are seeing more cases of Candida now than they had been seeing in the past; this may be due to the fact that people are living longer and as we age our immune systems are as capable of fighting off these bad fungi that find their way into our bodies.  Another reason this yeast like infection has gotten more predominate over recent years is due to the overuse of antibiotics which kill of the good bacteria needed to fight yeast type infections.  So now that you know basically what Candida is and where it is found in the body, we should explore ways to naturally detox our systems from this nasty yeast like infection.

You first need to remove the toxins that have built up in areas of your body because of the Candida infestation.  There are many ways you can remove these toxins from your body, which are listed below:

• Drink a lot of water
• Colon cleansers
• Take supplements such as ginseng, garlic, golden seal, olive leaf extract, tea tree oil, colloidal silver and grape seed extract.
• Go on a juice fast
• Use an anti-microbial supplement in herbal form which will help to eliminate the yeast in your body.

Probiotics and Candida

Probiotics are supplements that have the good bacteria in them that is used to fight off the growth or spreading of Candida; it also helps to make your digestive track work better as well as your immune system.  The best type of probiotics are those that contain bifid bacteria, acidophilus, and lactobacilli; these help maintain and keep a healthy and well functioning intestinal flora while you are in the process of detoxing your body. 

Best Diet for Detoxing

In order for your body to detox properly you will have to stop eating and drinking foods and beverages that have carbohydrates and contain sugar.  You need to do this in conjunction with taking the probiotics and doing the cleansing treatments.  In order for your body to eliminate the Candida from your body you have to stop feeding the Candida what it needs to keep growing, which are foods and beverages high in sugar and carbohydrates.  These foods include:

• Vinegar
• Barley
• Oats
• Rye
• Fresh and dried fruits
• All types of sugars
• Wheat
• Mushrooms
• Alcohol
• Chocolate
• Cheeses that are aged

You should begin eating foods such as:

• Vegetables
• Eggs
• Nuts
• Gluten free grains
• Lean proteins
• Yogurt

By combining all three steps; cleansing, taking probiotics, and changing your diet, you should quickly begin to notice a change in how your body is reacting and how well your digestive system is working.  It is very important that you do all these steps as doing one without doing the others is most likely wasting your time.  Most importantly is what you are eating; you should not be feeding the Candida; you need to starve it from the foods it needs to keep growing.

Prevention of Candida

If you have been prescribed an antibiotic for some kind of infection, it is suggested that you change your diet to the items listed above and begin taking the probiotics which will help keep the balance in your digestive system.  Antibiotics are one of the main reasons these types of yeast infections begin because the antibiotics kill the good bacteria your body needs to fight the bad yeast. 

Many people stay on a Candida diet for four weeks and then slowly return to their normal eating habits; however, as you do this you should add one item a day to see how your body reacts.  If you begin feeling the symptoms of Candida again, stay on the diet listed above; many people maintain that diet continually as well as taking the probiotics and some of the supplements mentioned above. 

If your immune system is weakened by a cold or flu it is highly recommended that if you are susceptible to this type of yeast infection you should follow the allowed food diet and remain on the probiotics.  Grape seed extract is also very effective in helping to build your immune system and help fight off and prevent further problems from this type of yeast infection.

Does the Cleansing and Diet Really Work?

If you follow the steps listed above this diet and detox cleansing works very well; hundreds of people from around the world have tried this diet and have found it to be very beneficial and have eliminated the Candida from their bodies.  It may be a challenge to remain faithful to the diet and you may want to fall back into your bad eating habits again; but as many people have mentioned, their quality of life has become so much better after detoxing their bodies and continuing with the diet to stay healthy and prevent further outbreaks of the yeast infection.

You may run across some doctors who are not convinced that Candida actually is a problem; I suggest you consult another doctor if the one you are seeing is skeptical.  This is a very real illness and can cause a great deal of harm to your body if left untreated.  My best advice is to follow the steps to detox your body and continue on a healthy diet and be sure to drink a lot of water. 

I know for a fact that this diet works as recently I had a scope done of the lining of my stomach which revealed this bad for of yeast in my digestive system.  I began the detox along with the cleansing and diet and have not had a bit of problems since.  I admit that I haven’t stayed on the diet completely, but it sure did what it needed to do when I was diagnosed with this harmful yeast infection.
