Candida is also known to affect the skin and mucous membranes as well.

Dealing with Candida

Don’t feel embarrassed if you are having problems with candida. Candida overgrowth is actually very common and it is quite easy to both control and overcome with a detox program. However, in preparation for a detox, it is important to follow a few simple steps first.

A few other suggestions include cutting back on grains or eradicating them from your diet. Replace wheat and gluten grains with fresh vegetables and starchy carbs. Grains eventually turn into sugar, so best to eat or get rid of them.

Something that is vital to overcoming candida is keeping the spleen healthy. In order to do this, it is best to eat healthy, starchy foods such as pumpkin, lentils and sweet potatoes. Starchy carbs provide good options for a healthy diet and a bit of mild sweetness without the sugar.

In the battle to overcome candida, it is important to focus on the liver. The liver is the biggest detoxification in the body, and it goes without saying that it needs to be kept in tip top shape. To do this, eat a lot of fermented foods such as kimchi and sauerkraut as well as sticking to probiotic rich foods such as kale which is known to support digestive functions.
