How to Prevent Recurrent Yeast Infections - Lots of Useful Advice!
A Recurrent Yeast Infection can return many times in a year
. Some folk are sadly more prone to getting them. Read on to find out why! A Yeast Infection is a condition caused by and also known as "Candida Albicans". Candida is a naturally occurring yeast found in everyone and in the air. It seeks to overgrow and rule the body when suitable conditions are present. This overgrowth can be hugely dangerous! It can go from non pathogenic to pathogenic and produces root like structures called Rhizoids that actually penetrate the intestinal walls enabling yeast and toxic waste to enter the bloodstream. Scary! A Yeast Infection or overgrowth happens when your natural inner balance is affected. Some of the causes of this could be... * A high sugar diet - a leading cause, as it feeds the yeast and allows it to spread and multiply out of control.
* Diabetes - Diabetics are often sufferers due to a sugar imbalance.
* Antibiotics - You take these for some other infection or bacteria and they will kill all the good bacteria too! The body does it's best to stay in balance but antibiotics can "overcorrect".
* A compromised immune system - this may be you feeling under par after an illness or prolonged stress or if you are an HIV or Aids sufferer.
* Sex with a person with a high level of yeast themselves.
* Hygiene - Candida Albicans loves areas that are moist and warm. Especially like the intestines, vagina, mouth and between the toes etc.
* Clothes that don't "breathe" or are tight and restrict the free circulation of air. Symptoms of a Recurrent Yeast Infection can be wildly differing! They may serve as a warning that something in the body is not as it should be. Among the symptoms can be * Burning, swollen, itching rashes.
* Discharges and foul smelling odours
* Migraines, mood swings and brain fog
* Food cravings
* Lack of energy, vitality and good quality of life
* Gas, bloating, poor digestion and digestive pain
* Eczema
* Yeast Infections in the toe and fingernails
* Muscle & joint aches and pains
* Sinus disorders Not good! So how do we prevent these Recurrent Yeast Infections? You've probably tried lots of creams, remedies and over the counter treatments. The problem with these, however, is that they just address the external symptoms and not the internal root cause! So you take them, the infection goes, you stop taking them and Hey! Back comes the infection. Again! The best and only approach that works permanently is to tackle the problem holistically. This means following a multi pronged approach. Some of the points to look at include * Diet - among the issues here are sugar, alcohol and yeast products.
* Stress management - don't lower your immune system more.
* Exercise and sleep optimisation - build up your inner self.
* Clothing - breathable or natural fabrics and not too tight.
* Good personal hygiene - keep everything dry - yeast loves damp bits!
* Scented products - Not good. They can throw out the PH of your body and upset it's balance further. You have to tackle the root cause & not the symptoms!
You must reverse the adverse conditions which are encouraging your Yeast Infections to thrive.
Recurrent Yeast Infections happen because you keep feeding the yeast!
