A Women’s Guide to Being Yeast Free
Did you know that 75% of all women will develop a yeast infection in their life time, with most of them experiencing re-occurring yeast infections.
Where does this yeast come from ?
You may be surprised to realise that both men and women carry this yeast, with up to 90% of all the population carrying Candida on their skin and in their body.
Even though Candida yeast exists in such a large portion of the population, our bodies have the natural ability to defend itself from infection and overgrowth with good bacteria.
It is when your immune system is low, or you have low levels of these helper bacteria that Candida yeast spreads into an infection. Antibiotics are the biggest cause for lowering the immune system and killing off the helper bacteria in your body.
Because women’s bodies are different they have the unfortunate problem of having a higher susceptibility to developing these yeast infections.
Changes in hormone levels, can cause an excess in Candida yeast. Pregnancy and the pill all contribute to massive changes in a woman’s hormone levels, and cannot be helped. If yeast infections become to prevalent with the pill, many women will see their doctor about alternatives.
However diet can also affect a woman’s hormone levels, and immune system. Many women do not realise that while they may not take antibiotics, much of the meat in food is pumped with antibiotics and hormones to make it healthy and grow quicker. When you consume this food the antibiotics lower your good bacteria, and hormones affect your own levels causing yeast to spread.
The Candida diet can stop women from suffering future yeast infections, but if you remember the Candida yeast resides in both men and women, so you should make your partner undergo the Candida diet as well.
Since yeast is easily contracted, your partner can simply pass the infection back to you if he does not go on the Candida diet as well.
Men are rarely aware of the presence of Candida or yeast infections in their own bodies, because the majority of infections take place internally and when they do develop into external skin infections are treated as heat rash or jock itch.
When a women is suffering the burden of constant re-occurring yeast infections or yeast related problems, they need to get their partner to go on a full Candida cleanse with them, to permanently stop the suffering.
