Candida Albicans, commonly known as yeast, occurs naturally and for the most part harmlessly within the gastro intestinal tract as well as in other areas of the body that can provide it with the warmth and moisture it needs to survive. Several factors can contribute to a yeast overgrowth; which, if not treated, can lead to several severe complications. A colon cleanse can help to return the natural balance of yeast within your body.
What Can Contribute
* A poorly balanced diet high in various sugars can provide the yeast with the exact material it needs to flourish; yeast thrives on sugar. Read the labels. Know what your putting in your mouth. Many food products add sugar in many forms (I,e, fructose syrup) To make the product sweet. It even starts the moment you get up in the morning! Its in most cereals!
* A course of antibiotics can destroy the balance of naturally occurring bacteria in your body, specifically the bacteria that controls and restricts the excessive growth of Candida. The killing off of the friendly bacteria is something that most doctors don t tell their patients which seriously compromises their well being. Your friendly intestinal flora does many funtions which is essential for good health. Before, during and after you should take probiotics. Schedule every 3 or 4 months a bottle of probiotics. You ll be glad you did!
* A compromised colon that has not been thoroughly cleansed of waste matter can become the ideal environment for Candida to not only thrive but to multiply in alarming numbers.
* A compromised immune system, due to a medical condition or as a result of the usage of a prescription medication, can allow for the excessive growth of Candida.
Prevention and Treatment
Ultimately prevention is the ideal situation with any condition; but if there is already a yeast overgrowth concern, a colon cleanse can be incorporated as part of the treatment plan to help restore the yeast balance in the colon. Regular colon cleansing can further be incorporated as part of a prevention course of treatment.
In addition to a colon cleanse, the most important way to prevent excessive Candida growth is with a well balanced diet.
Foods to Avoid
* Sugars Sugars provide Candida with the fuel needed to multiply rapidly. The more sugar in the body the more Candida will thrive.
* Dairy with the exception of low fat yogurts, try to avoid all dairy products.
* Pastas and breads these foods are broken down into sugars in your body.
* Alcohol alcohol is, essentially, sugar.
Foods to Incorporate
Fresh vegetables that are high in fiber can be highly beneficial in maintaining a healthy colon. Foods that have high fiber content have the much needed effect of naturally cleansing the colon, helping to remove any waste matter that has accumulated
Over the Counter
In addition to an improved well balanced diet, there are numerous over the counter supplements that can be taken to help promote a healthy colon. These products, taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and colon cleansing results in an overall well being and superior health.
