What to eat for Candida cleanse diet?
Stop it right there! Yes, you! Don’t take that sweet muffin or chocolate bar or whatever is it that you are craving right now. If you have a problem with Candida albicans overgrowth, you have to be aware of what you can eat and what food to avoid in order to limit it. Yes, that rules sweets out, unfortunately. Candida cleanse diet avoids food that provides nutrition and ideal growth condition for the pesky yeast. It so happens that fructose is Candida’s favorite food.
So what food can you eat for Candida cleanse diet and what should you avoid? Whenever we say diet, we normally think of vegetables. Ugh. Well, we can’t avoid vegetables now, can we? Not all vegetables are OK, however; you should avoid veggies that contain a lot of sugar (carrots, potatoes and even tomatoes). Leafy green vegetables are the best bet for Candida cleanse diet. With these vegetables you can say goodbye to Candida sooner, so include them in your daily menu.
Fruits! Fruits, too, can be a part of Candida cleanse diet. But aren’t they sweet, you ask? Not all fruits contain sugar; lemon and lime are ideal, though feel free to experiment with green apples, berries, grapefruits and so on. Just remember one rule: eat fruits on empty stomach, don’t mix them with other food. If you love meat too much to avoid it, eat lean meat such as chicken, turkey and fish meat. Candida loves hormones, so avoid any meat with additional hormones. Make sure your lean meat is organic or free range. Finally, try to avoid white grains as much as possible, as they make your yeast grow like there’s no tomorrow.
