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.
