Discover how any Women can be Yeast Free

By Christy Night

Did you know that 75% of all women will develop a yeast infection in their life time, with most of them experiencing re-occurring yeast infections.

Being such a common problem for women, you may ask where does this yeast come from.

Believe it or not 90% of the population carries the culprit on and in the body. This includes men as well as women.

Even though Candida yeast exists in such a large portion of the population, our bodies have the natural ability to defend itself from infection and overgrowth with good bacteria.

Antibiotics however are one of biggest problems your helper bacteria will face. Certain lifestyle habits like antibiotics kill or lower the levels of helper bacteria in your body, making it difficult for your immune system to combat the yeast spreading into an infection.

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.

Even though these things may only affect women, it is also important to remember the other things that can lead to fluctuations in hormone levels in all people as well as problems with the immune system. Since antibiotics are the biggest cause of a low immune system, you should realise that most meat is injected with antibiotics and hormones, and by consuming these they will directly affect your immune and hormone levels.

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.

Since yeast is easily contracted, your partner can simply pass the infection back to you if he does not go on the Candida diet as well.

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. - 26706
