In the article entitled “Warning! Attention! Candida Sufferer Avoid These Foods”, in which we discuss foods that promote unhealthy levels of Candida, we learned that Candida begins to thrive in the gut like a fungus, creating an ideal environment for its rampant growth.

We have learned that the environment in which Candida thrives is acidic in nature and this acidity inhibits the body’s ability to absorb vitamins and minerals and limits the production of digestive protein enzymes. Limited enzyme production leads to indigestion symptoms, for example, gas or gas problems are evident, bloated or bloated intestines are evident, elevated acid levels and sensitivity to certain types of food are evident.

It goes without saying that in order to maintain a healthy body, free from Candida overgrowth, the foods eaten should be foods that promote healthy levels of Candida in the body.

The ideal diet for those suffering from Candida yeast overgrowth is to eat a diet high in fiber and protein supplemented with some complex carbohydrates and a small amount of fresh fruit. For example, the daily intake should be approximately:

65% High fiber foods, such as steamed vegetables: The best options are broccoli, celery, radishes, asparagus, onions, garlic, ginger root, cabbage, turnips, and kale. Raw garlic and onion act as natural antifungal substances and should be consumed as much as possible.

20% Foods rich in protein, such as: fish, chicken, duck, nuts, seeds and eggs.

10% Complex carbohydrates: rice, beans and oats.

Foods that promote a healthy body and detect Candida overgrowth”

5% fresh fruits, such as: berries of all kinds, grapefruit, pineapple and papaya.
