Diet For Candida- Creating The Correct PH.

You can fight Candida overgrowth and clear your illnesses by creating the correct pH! A diet for Candida is a key factor in clearing Candida albicans, coupled with a good detox programme and some diligence you can be yeast free in no time! By choosing foods which have an alkaline pH and avoiding acid forming foods, you can enjoy delicious and healthy meals, which will boost your recovery and keep you healthy.

But what you will also come to realise once you have been on the diet for a period of time is that; the sense of wellbeing you experience is a much greater pay off than the momentary pleasure of eating a slice of cake. The wonderful thing about the diet for candida is that once you are on the diet for a short while you stop craving all the foods which has caused the candida to multiply and make you sick.

What is the diet for candida all about?

The diet for candida is about eliminating the foods and substances which cause the Candida albicans yeast to thrive. Certain foods such as sugary foods, offer the perfect pH for candida to multiply so your first step in getting rid of candida albicans is to know which food causes candida to thrive and which kills it.

Foods to stay from

As I said earlier you want to avoid foods which encourage the growth of candida . Candida albicans is a type of  yeast , so your first clue is to stay away from fermented foods such as matured cheeses. Here is a list of other foods:

·    Alcohol and vinegar (except Apple cider vinegar)
·    All fruits and fruit juices (only at the beginning of the Candida diet)
·    All processed foods ( chemicals and acids kill good bacteria which fight Candida)
·    All sugars- this includes sugars found condiments such as salad dressing
·    All fermented goods and molds – this includes mushrooms, blue cheese, beers, nuts etc
·    All grains which contain gluten

Foods to love!

The diet for candida can be seen as a very strict detox diet. The truth is that if you suffer from candida overgrowth you need to detox your body by flushing out the candida as well as all the toxins caused by the yeast which will live happily ever after in your system unless you do something about it. By favouring a diet which is packed with fresh raw vegetables and other tasty food groups you can restore your bodies health and vitality.

·    Vegetables – favour fresh organic (if possible) vegetables, and eat them raw whenever possible. Snack on cauliflower or broccoli for your midday snack.
·    Proteins- fresh beef, fish, chicken, eggs (stay away from processed meats at all costs)
·    Herbs and spices- Begin to LOVE garlic! Garlic kills off Candida by the dozens. Other herbs and spices are anti-fungal, antioxidant and makes food taste great.
·    Nuts and seeds (not peanuts or other shelled nuts which can be a breeding ground for mold)
·    Plain yoghurt- probiotics help the good bacteria which is in the gut to flourish.

Stick to the diet for candida and the rewards of well being will be great.
