|  |  | Yeast Infection Assistance
In an article published by Vegetarian Times, July, 2002, Marshall Norton, Jr., discusses ways to prevent yeast infections naturally, starting with diet and healthy lifestyles.
According to Mr. Norton, "just as an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and so does a healthy diet help keep yeast infections at bay. Yeast infections are the result of an imbalance of "good" and "bad" bacteria that thrive on the surface of moist, mucous membranes, particularly those in the intestinal tract, vaginal tract and skin folds. Although most often found in the vaginal tract, candida can also appear in the mouth as thrush, in the warm moist environment under a diaper, causing diaper rash, and other areas of the body." | | | |
| | Vegetarian Times reports that yeast infections may be triggered by excess weight, diabetes, antibiotics and oral contraceptives--all of which cause yeast populations to grow to abnormally high levels.
"Women who are overweight, diabetic or who take antibiotics are especially vulnerable to yeast infections," says Gerson Weiss, MD, an obstetrician and gynecologist at the New Jersey Medical School in Trenton. Excess weight, which can increase body heat, and diabetes, which can increase sugar levels in the body, create an ideal environment for candida growth. And unnecessary use of antibiotics that target the "bad" bacteria in your body also kills the "good" bacteria, allowing yeast to grow unchecked. In fact, increased use of both antibiotics and oral contraceptives is believed to be a major reason why the occurrence of yeast infections has doubled since the late 1960s", reports Mr. Norton. | |  | | | |
|  | | Vegetarian Times also gives helpful suggestions to avoid getting a yeast infection. "In addition to the above causes of yeast infection, personal care--or the lack thereof--can also be a culprit, Weiss says. That's why it's important to keep all areas of your body cool and dry by wearing breathable cotton undergarments and loose clothing. In addition to vigilant personal care, you also need to follow a sensible diet to thwart the conditions that allow yeast to thrive."
The article points out that while there are numerous ways to prevent yeast outbreaks, it's not possible to eliminate them permanently. No matter how successful a treatment may be, as soon as it's stopped, such outbreaks will reoccur. However, probiotics--friendly bacteria--ensure that yeast regrowth will be minimal.
One way to introduce probiotics into your diet is with daily supplementation of super strains of beneficial bacteria--particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifido-bacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which can be purchased at your natural health food store," reports the Vegetarian Times.
