Discover how any Women can be Yeast Free
Most women will suffer re-occurring yeast infections throughout their life, with up to 75% of women suffering a yeast infection at some point.
Being such a common problem for women, you may ask where does this yeast come from.
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.
If you lower the levels of these helper bacteria, then the yeast will grow and spread into an infection. The most common cause of this antibiotics, after a course of antibiotics your body will be low on good bacteria since antibiotics do not distinguish between good and bad. This is the perfect time for Candida yeast to grow.
Because women’s bodies are different they have the unfortunate problem of having a higher susceptibility to developing these yeast infections.
You will find that fluctuations in hormone levels are responsible for promoting Candida yeast. That is why taking the pill, pregnancy, and monthly cycles can all contribute to your yeast problem. Most of these can’t be helped, but you can do your best to keep your helper bacteria high to counteract the chances of infection. It is also possible to see your doctor about alternatives to the pill, if infections become to common.
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.
Any women can become yeast free with the right diet, however since yeast resides in men too, it only makes sense that the male partner should change his habits too.
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.
The majority of men will not even be aware they have contracted a yeast infection, since most infections are internal and when they do surface are identified as jock itch or heat rash.
When a women is suffering the burden of constant re-occurring yeast infections or yeast related problems, they need to get their partner to go on a full Candida cleanse with them, to permanently stop the suffering.
