Most women will suffer re-occurring yeast infections throughout their life, with up to 75% of women suffering a yeast infection at some point.
This makes it one of the most common health problems women will face, so why do they occur?
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.
Candida yeast resides naturally in the majority of the population, but we are lucky enough to have good bacteria that keeps the yeast from spreading into an infection.
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.
Because yeast can be passed back and forth between partners quite easily, you could just keep re-infecting yourself if they do not cleanse their body of yeast at the same time as you.
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.
This is why all women who suffer from reoccurring yeast problems, needs to seriously consider undertaking a complete Candida cleanse along with their current partner.
