Good Evening IG Family, Let 's continue on the series of Candida Albicans! Last week I discuss what causes candida? How every sickness out there starts in the gut? How our gut is very sensitive. Doing a recap from last week. How the connection with the gut - brain are connected. I gave you a example. If you don't remember ,I advised you to go back to last week post. Now let's go in more detail how foods we may eat can trigger candida overgrowth? These are 9 majors foods. 1) Processed foods : This is huge! Why? We are living in a time that our younger generation are growing- up in a processed NATION and a microwave GENERATION! Did you know that alot of refined sugar and flour ,preservations, addictives, all chemicals derived from yeast. 2) Smoked meats : Aged, fermented, moldly cheese,all of them create acidity in the intestinal tract,this encouraging overgrowth of yeast in your gut. Once the body ph is too much acid that is a playground for all kind of condition that can start in the gut. 3) Any yeast products can trigger candida .For example wheat, rye, barley, oats, pastries,pasta, made with gluten, containing flour,except for buckwheat, coconut,etc. 4) Starchy or sweet vegetables like potatoes,sweet potatoes,corn,squash,beans,peas,carrot,beets,all convert to sugar. 5) Mushrooms: They are fungi which candida loves to feed on. Goodnews actually japanese mushrooms has healing properties. 6)Nuts : like peanuts, pistachos,cashews these are typically contaminated with mold, includes any products contained with those nuts. 7) Fresh juices: Canned frozen, dried fruits and fruits juices of any kind. High in sugars which Candida thrives on. What does that sound like? 8) Vinegar: pickles and all products contain vinegar these foods create an acidic medium in the gut, remember acidicity favorable to spread candida. 9) Mayo:Ketchup,dressing anything contained vinegar. Happy to say apple-cider helps candida fungus to die off. These were 9 major foods but there are more I didn't want to overwhelmed you. I did more research on this subject .
