Foods That Fight Candida

Candida albicans is the most common form of fungal yeast infection. 

This type of infection is called candidiasis, or more commonly known as thrush. The risk of developing thrush is greatly increased if you are pregnant, have diabetes, take antibiotics or have a weakened immune system. 

Fortunately there are a number of great foods that have anti-fungal and anti bacterial properties to treat candida naturally. Many are great staple ingredients that can be added to any meal, or eaten on their own.

Antifungal foods:

Garlic, Coconut Oil, Rutabaga, Onions, Pumpkin Seeds and Olive Oil all in their own right contain anti-fungal  properties. 

Detox foods:

Seaweed, Lemon and Lime Juice and Ginger all have the ability to remove toxins from the body and can help with pain and inflammation associated with candida. 

The best way to have these foods is to use them in cooking, although it is possible to buy them in supplement form.

Make your own fluoride free toothpaste

Everyday it seems like more and more people are becoming aware of the health risks of exposure to fluoride not just in drinking water but in food, drink, and oral care products.  When it comes to toothpaste, there some great brands out there, but they usually charge nearly twice as much as traditional fluoride paste.  Not all hope is lost, though, you can make your own non toxic toothpaste!  Here is what you need...

Cocnut oil

Baking Soda

Stevia

Essential oil

Did you know that fluoride is more toxic than lead, used by the nazis to poison people, and was also used as rat poison?  It causes cancer, and compromises bone health.  Perhaps it is time to make a change.  Here are the steps to make your nontoxic toothpaste:

• Use a 50/50 ratio of coconut oil to baking soda.
• Add a few drops of essential oil from spearmint or peppermint for flavor.
• Add some stevia for sweetness.
• Keep the mix in a jar and use as needed, no need to refrigerate this mix!

Deodorant contains dangerous ingredients: MAKE YOUR OWN

Your favorite deodorant might contain dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer, brain damage, and even liver abnormalities. 

Just a couple simple ingredients is all you need for your All-Natural Deodorant:

1/4 Cup of Baking Soda (neutralizes odor)
 1/4 Cup of Arrowroot starch (absorbs moisture)
 4 Tb Coconut Oil (anti-bacterial and moisturizing) 1/4 tsp Tea Tree Oil (anti-bacterial)

Mix all ingredients together to form a paste/cream... and that's it!

WHY SHOULD YOU MAKE YOUR OWN OR NOT USE ANY?

3 of the worst deodorant ingredients are:

Parabens: (On the label* methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben or isobutylparaben) These are used in many skin care and cosmetic products. They act as a preservative to discourage bacteria and fungus. Research shows that parabens from lotions and deodorants can absorb into the body and weakly mimic estrogen causing damage to the endocrine system.
Aluminum: One of the main ingredients in many deodorants and antiperspirants is aluminum, which actually blocks the body from producing sweat. Aluminum has been known to cause neurological damage and contribute to diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Aluminum has been found to be able to enter and remain in a human bloodstream for up to two weeks after just one application of deodorant or antiperspirant.
Propelene Glycol:  is often used in deodorants and is also an ingredient in antifreeze. Factory workers who are exposed are warned of the danger of kidney, brain, and liver damage through skin contact.
