Although not as popular, following an antifungal diet is a good treatment for yeast infections. The body naturally produces yeast. However, when the body produces too much yeast, it manifests itself externally in warm, moist parts of our body. This is the reason why yeast cultures form in the oral cavity or vagina.

Since yeast infection occurs when the body is covered in yeast, one way to prevent and treat it is to fight it from the inside. An anti fungal diet will regulate the growth of yeast in the body. There are two parts to treating yeast infections through diet: eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong foods.

What to eat:

• Fiber-rich foods such as oats and wheat. These fibers make it difficult for yeast to grow in the body.
• Legumes like walnuts and peas are also good against candida as they inhibit the growth of yeast.
• Green leafy vegetables like cabbage, spinach, and lettuce have antifungal properties when digested.
• Radish is another vegetable that is antibacterial and antifungal.
• Yogurt is very effective against yeast overgrowth. Although yogurt can help reduce yeast because it contains good bacteria, it is still a dairy product. Also, be sure to only eat the unsweetened or unflavored variety to ensure it contains little to no sugar.
• Spices like ginger and garlic also have antifungal properties. Be sure to use these spices for your anti fungal diet.

What to avoid:

• sugary food Yeast thrives on sugar, so avoid eating too much sweets, even fruit.
• Carbohydrates should be avoided as much as possible. Rice, pasta, and bread are good sources of carbohydrates that can further feed the yeast.
• Obviously, foods that contain yeast, such as bread, cakes, and cookies, should be avoided.

These are your anti fungal diet tips. Try them, they really work.
