Nowadays more and more people improve eating patterns to be more healthy and feel better, instead of just wanting to get off the weight and could wear old jeans collection.
One part of the healthy eating pattern that is the intestinal health. It is required for foods rich in probiotics for healthy digestion system.
Diet to maintain intestinal health is called anti-candida diet. Low sugar diet is designed to eliminate candidiasis, other names of candida yeast infection from which grow in the digestive system.
Candidiasis may develop due to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the intestines. The situation was not only causing serious digestive problems but also inflammatory, allergic and fickle moods.
"This is a silent epidemic that affects one in three people," said Ann Boroch, certified nutrition consultant and author of The Candida Cure.
Sugar and simple carbohydrates are the two things that are causing excessive growth of fungus in the digestive system. Therefore, anti-candida diet called for restrictions on sugar, alcohol and even some types of fruit and vegetables that have a high glycemic index content.
Glycemic Index is a measure of how fast food is digested and broken down into glucose in the body. The purpose of the reduction of consumption of sugar is to eliminate fungus and restore balance of healthy bacteria.
Candida yeast may not be foreign in the ear because it is often referred to as the cause of vaginal discharge. It turns out the same candida grows also in the stomach, vagina and under the nails. Many people do not realize the possibility of fungal infections in addition to infections in the vagina.
"There are no blood tests or other tests that proved the candida as a cause of headaches, skin problems, penceranan, weight gain and fatigue," Boroch said.
A diet low in sugar was popular in the 80s and back interest because the fungus causes many of the symptoms of the disease.
Sounds interesting in theory, but if we were able to avoid all sugary foods and drinks? That means we have to stop drinking coffee, wine and eating cheese.
This anti-candida diet recommends strict Detox for a few days followed weeks and weeks to a few months of not eating foods grown with yeast as well as eating foods grown with fungus.
We eventually reintroduce foods in an effort to figure out the trigger digestive problems experienced in hopes of preventing it in the future.
Although anti-candida diet it feels tight, we can still enjoy vegetables such as broccoli, eggplant, asparagus and low-sugar fruits such as berries and grapefruit. Also allowed to eat meat, nuts and seeds.
When doctors diagnose ourselves experience excessive growth of mold. should we not do the anti candida diet because the doctor will prescribe anti-fungal medicines. Although anti-candida diet is increasingly known, experts warn this diet is not a magic solution to cope with excessive growth of fungus.
In general anti-candida diet includes healthy. "But if used as a weapon to fight the candidiasis, mold growth will be back once we stop adopting her," says naturopathic expert Saul Marcus.
So, the thought that just by the anti candida diet can fight fungi is a mistake because it also required the treatment from a doctor.
The anti candida diet should be treated as a way of reducing the negative impact of food on the body, not as a cure for the disease. So, stop drinking coffee and cheese for a month may sound like hell. Discuss with a doctor, discuss your options and decide which part of a diet that is needed and which ones should be overlooked only.
