br The main risk factors for candidiasis (Candida overgrowth) are the consumption of a diet high in simple carbohydrates and the prolonged use of antibiotics andor corticosteroids. These conditions allow the Candida to overgrow as the body's levels of friendly bacteria drop too low too keep the yeast in check. A fundamental part of our treatment for Candida overgrowth must be to reverse this balance in as many ways as possible. In essence, natural cures for Candida involve four core strands: br br #1 - Starve Candida br br You need to follow an anti Candida diet to starve the yeast of its food source. Avoid the foods that help Candida grow (processed sugars, bread, mushrooms, nuts and cheese) and eat lots of the foods that Candida hates (fresh vegetables, wholegrains, organic meat and fresh fish). br br #2 - Kill Candida br br Take a natural anti-fungal that will help dispose of those stubborn yeast that are not starved to death.
