Candida Albicans, the organism responsible for most yeast infections is present in all of us, including the healthiest. It is usually kept in check by other organisms, the so called “good bacteria”. Problems occur when the balance between the candida and the bacteria is upset. This can be because of the use of antibiotics, for example.
If you have ever made home brewed beer or wine you will know that, for yeast to flourish, it needs sugar. It also needs a certain amount of acidity. If you wish to prevent or control a yeast infection then … avoid feeding it! Cut down on the amount of refined sugar you use and eat less of the bought foods that contain it. This will reduce the fuel available to the yeast and so reduce its spread through the body.
Strengthen the good bacteria using prebiotics and probiotics. This will also help to restore the balance between the yeast and the bacteria.
These simple changes will help to prevent or control yeast infection but there is much more that you can do. For the best complete guide to curing yeast infections, download Yeast Infection No More today.
