Can white vinegar form part of a diet against yeast infection? Medical experts in holistic and alternative solutions say that the white vinegar can accelerate growth rates of a yeast infection condition and should be removed from your food plan. In this article, a former yeast infection victim and qualified nutritionist gives us the explanation about white vinegar and wine vinegar and their negative effect on yeast infection victims.
The basic cause of yeast infection is a fungus called Candida. Candida exists in small amounts in healthy bodies but this is not dangerous. The danger comes when candida multiplies under certain circumstances and then invades the blood circulation from the intestinal tract to generate yeast infection symptoms. This explains why we call the yeast infection candida infection, or candidiasis.
Candiasis can have various factors. I will discuss the aspect of nutrition concerning the right habits and dietary guidelines to help your digestive system. This is in the light of Candida as a primary agent for all different kinds of yeast infections.
Physicians and paraprofessional are unanimous in the notion that intake of excessive refined sugar and carbohydrates (white rice, white flour) will stimulate Candida and encourage worsening of the condition.
The Candida over grows even more when the environment is more acid. Therefore maintaining the right equilibrium of the alkalis and acids is another guideline to be followed to limit multiplication and yeast infection. We use the pH scale (potential hydrogen) to define acidity in the human body. This scale goes from fourteen the most alkaline level, down to zero the most acid level with seven being defined as neutral. Normally blood is in the range of 7.35 and 7.45, however even a small difference can provoke serious health complications.
It is a sad fact that modern western lifestyle with its lack of sports, high levels of stress and poor diets based on too much fat and too many calories, all conspire to increase the acid level in blood. To correct the balance of acid and alkali and therefore return to an environment that does not encourage Candida, eat more of the foods, which form alkalis such as most fresh vegetables and fruit, almonds, green juices, and any food that contains potassium, magnesium, cesium, sodium, or calcium. Likewise reduce foods that form too much acid such as most products involving dairy, meats, grain and fish.
White vinegar with its PH of 5.5 means that it is very acidic and therefore will encourage Candida overgrowth. Replace such foods with supplements that are alkaline. Vinegars in particular have always been the subject of discussion concerning anti Candida diets. The exception is apple cider vinegar with a pH of 7.5. Use organic apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar.
Remember that adhering to an alkaline diet may bring health benefits and help limit Candida, but dietary changes alone will not be sufficiently comprehensive or holistic to treat yeast infection.
Were you aware that a treatment exists now which is all-natural and holistic to remedy your yeast infection in safety and in permanence by treating all of the contributing causes?
