More Great Nutrition Resources.
The symptoms of living with an overgrowth of candida albicans in the body may vary from person to person. Chronic fatigue, yeast infections and difficulty losing weight are just a few of the ways candida can negatively affect one's system. However, with the right nutrition, it is possible to regain control of your body and conquer the frustrating affects of candida. Following an anti-candida diet gives your body its best chances in winning the fight against the condition.
Just like with any effective diet plan, it is better to focus on the foods you can enjoy instead of those you need to avoid. It's almost guaranteed that constantly reminding yourself to stay out of the cookie jar will result in you finding your hand in the cookie jar!
Instead, a better plan of action is to stock your kitchen with anti-candida foods and think positively about the nutritious and delicious menus you can create while performing a candida detox in your body. With an anti-candida diet you are essentially fueling your body to do what it was created to do, which is protect itself from unhealthy bacteria.
So what can you eat on an anti-candida diet? Think whole, natural foods. If it has been processed, it isn't whole and it isn't natural. Some people like to think of this way of eating as a hunter/gatherer-if you can hunt for it or gather it from the field, garden or forest, it is better for your body.
However, on an anti-candida diet, one has to be especially careful of sugar intake, because sugar feeds the candida yeast, which exacerbates the problem. In fact, if you consumer a lot of sugar or yeast, such as candy or baked goods, you will likely notice an increase in candida symptoms. Because of this sugar-sensitivity, high sugar fruits should be avoided. But you can still enjoy two to three servings a day of low-sugar fruits like apples, different types of berries and citrus fruits.
To give you an idea of the low-sugar, hunter/gatherer approach that is best for the anti-candida diet, below is a sample menu:
Breakfast: Hard boiled eggs, grapefruit, yeast-free-whole-grain toast with a spread of natural peanut butter
Lunch: Chicken salad with leafy greens, almonds, sugar-free yogurt
Dinner: Grilled Salmon and asparagus, three-bean salad
Desert: Berries with cream
It is still possible to enjoy your meals on an anti-candida diet. Try introducing new vegetables to your menu to keep it interesting. By following this way of eating you will not only perform a candida detox, but you will also find yourself with more energy and better over-all health due to the nutrient-rich anti-candida foods you are including in your diet.
