Candida Prevention

Content: Thriving in a dark, moist environment, it can be found naturally in the body, particularly in the mouth, digestive tract, vagina, or skin folds. Other areas of the body that may be affected by Candida are the ears, dental cavities, groin, under the breasts or nails. When in correct systemic balance, Candida is not a harmful organism and will not cause troublesome symptoms. Prevention is important, as treatment for Candida albicans can be unsuccessful and infections can become recurrent. Diagnosing Candida
The symptoms of Candida overgrowth are chronic fatigue, abdominal bloating, constipation, diarrhea, skin infections, headaches, menstrual cycle disturbances, and even cognitive difficulties or depression. Candida affects both men and women, but is more common in babies and people with weak immune systems. What Causes Candida? The most predominant type of yeast is Candida Albacans. An overgrowth of yeast occurs when the immune system becomes suppressed and toxins produced by the yeast can enter the blood stream through the colon wall, infecting other parts of the body. This condition can be triggered by a number of factors such as antibiotic and steroid use, birth control pills, hormonal changes during pregnancy, menstruation or menopause, allergies, poor hygiene, stress, a poor diet, or chemical poisoning.
