Yeast Infections affect approximately 75% of all women at one point in their lives and over 50% get more than one. So, it’s important for women to understand keys to prevention & a quick recovery!
While a small amount of yeast is typically present (controlled by the bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus), infections are caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida Albicans or an imbalance of “good” bacteria. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what triggers a yeast infection, but an increased risk can come from stress, insomnia, illness, poor diet, pregnancy, hormonal changes, certain medications, and immune related disease.
Tips to naturally prevent & speed recovery from a yeast infection:
- Avoid eating too much sugar in your diet (especially if you already have an increased risk as a diabetic)
- Boost your immune system with Olive Leaf Extract
- Stay well rested (or try Heel Neurexan if you have trouble sleeping)
- Eliminate unnatural perfumes & dyes in hygiene products
- Incorporate garlic into your diet or take garlic pills (garlic is a natural enemy of yeast)
- Drink PLENTY of water – at least 64 oz each day
Yeast will significantly decrease the absorption of nutrients in your body, so remember to eat well balanced meals or take a nutritional supplement.
