Candidiasis X Food 🆙

Everyone has heard about candidiasis, but what few people know is that it already “lives” inside us. That's right, this annoying fungus that affects men and especially women, is present in our body, especially in our gut. THE Candida albicans It is a frequent cause of infections in the vagina, mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Unfortunately, its occurrence is very common and recurrent in people's lives.

But rest assured, our body is smart and deals very well with this unwanted guest. The problem only happens when our immunity is affected by reasons such as - poor diet, stress, diseases, sedentary lifestyle, excess medication and hormones, etc. – which generates an imbalance in our body and causes an exaggerated growth of this fungus, causing this infection that we know as Candidiasis.

The good news is that, once again, food can help you restore and balance the balance between the good and not so good microorganisms and fungi that inhabit our body.

Here are some food suggestions that help (and hinder) in curing candidiasis:
