Yeast Infection No More - Treating Yeast Infections The Natural Way

By Jo White

Suffering from a yeast infection no more is the wish of many women sufferers but what is the best way to prevent further yeast infection problems? To start with you need to understand more about the Candida fungus itself.

Broadly there are two types of yeast infection attacks, acute and chronic varieties.

As regards the acute attacks the simplest way to deal with these is to get some ointment and apply this to the affected area.

A dual approach is required for a chronic yeast infection, treatment of the local area with ointment but a further investigation into the underlying causes of the infection itself.

The only practical long term solution lies in seeking out a natural cure.

The key to long term prevention of yeast infections is to make your body a much less attractive place for the Candida fungus to inhabit.

The first thing that is essential in this process is to ensure that you are healthy and have a strong immune system.

This includes drinking less, sleeping more and avoiding excessive smoking.

Secondly your diet, at least whilst you are trying to prevent yeast infections is important to control.

Here are some foods that are best avoided:

Sugar: everybody loves sugar in some form or another including Candida, the trouble is the friendly bacteria and your immune system, do not.

Sugar is your enemy where yeast infections are concerned Candida thrives on it and only makes your problems more severe.

Foods containing yeast: you do not need to add more yeast to your problems so try to limit your intake.

This means excluding such things as pizza, cakes, buns, biscuits and anything with a breaded coating such as chicken or fish fingers.

All you need to do is look for sensible alternative products at least for the period until your yeast infections subside.

Alcohol: all alcoholic drinks lower the immunity of your body and therefore are best avoided especially beer as this contains yeast and sugar both of which are best avoided to prevent yeast infection problems.

This is just a small selection of the many natural cures for yeast infections.

There are many more ways to avoid getting a yeast infection no more and hopefully the above list has given you a start.
