Yeast Infection Cause

by Corrinne Dukart

Causes of yeast infection is directly related to our food and/or medicine intake, but there are also some environmental factors that we simply can’t control causing us to have such infection which sometimes referred to as candida. A great way to prevent the start and/or spread of yeast infection is by minding your diet.

Believe it or not, refined sugar and carbohydrates that we get from the food we eat daily may cause us to have yeast infections. Some of the sources of refined sugar are candies, ice cream and soda. Sources of carbohydrates are cereals, bread and rice. Honey, which is also considered as a simple carbohydrate, is a source of refined sugar that can cause yeast infections, therefore will allow candida to grow on different areas of your skin.

Another is mucus that can easily build up within our system when we get allergies from certain food items, such as cow’s milk. If we have allergies, we tend to also have indigestion that will make yeast infection grow even more faster. Soy, which is an alternative forms of dairy, is good to reduce such inflammatory situation.

Brewer’s yeast (for making beer) and baker’s yeast (for making bread), are yeast products, therefore causes yeast infections. The intake of such food items must be avoided when our are flushing out yeast infections. Also, the intake of food items that include molds, like cheeses, dried fruits and mushrooms, should also be avoided to stop the growth of yeast infection.

A candida is more likely to grow on you if your body is too acidic or not in range of the balanced PH level, which is 7.35 and 7.45. To correct your PH level, intake of alkaline food, such as lemons, fish or grains, is recommended. Have a balanced PH and don’t let your body be a prime breeding ground of candida.

Yeast infection can be avoided by watching your diet out and maintaining a balanced PH level. By doing so, the tendency to affect your body by environmental factors that are definite yeast infection causes can be minimized.
