Antifungal diet: menu, recipes

What is an antifungal diet? In what cases does a person need special nutrition? Why do fungal diseases develop and how to avoid them? These questions will be answered by the article.

Today we’ll talk a little about the well-known disease called thrush, although the term candidiasis is used more often in medicine. This ailment is diagnosed not only for women. Candidiasis affects both adults and children, regardless of gender.

You can get rid and even prevent the appearance of candidiasis using a special diet. Its principle is simple - it is necessary to reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed. The main foods included in the patient's diet are vegetables and protein-rich foods.

Of course, a normal diet will not cure the disease, but it will have an overwhelming effect on the development of fungi. The latter, in turn, have the peculiarity of being colonized in:

• the intestines;
• the esophagus;
• the oral cavity;
• genitals;
• throat.

Candidiasis

The antifungal diet, which will be discussed now, is necessary to prevent or treat existing candidiasis. It suits both men and women. First, you should talk about the specifics of the disease.

It is important to know that candida fungi live in the body of every person, but the activation of the disease occurs with a decrease in the activity of protective barriers - pathogenic microorganisms begin to multiply actively. To combat the disease, an integrated approach is used. The inflammatory process can be localized:

• in the genital tract;
• in the intestines;
• in the esophagus;
• in the throat.

The reasons for the activation of infection can be:

• weakened immunity;
• exhaustion of the body;
• stress;
• depression;
• antibiotic treatment;
• malnutrition;
• lack of rest;
• taking steroids.

Not everyone knows how mycosis of the gastrointestinal tract manifests itself. With an inflammatory lesion, the following symptoms appear:

• increased gas formation;
• bloating;
• fatigue;
• irritability;
• sweating
• persistent colds.

Symptoms

An antifungal bowel diet will help stop the growth of fungal microorganisms. Depending on where the focus of inflammation is located, the symptoms can be very different. The vaginal form is the most common form of the disease. Symptoms of thrush include:

• the appearance of cheesy discharge (have a specific acidic smell);
• itching in the inguinal zone;
• rash.

If a fungal infection is activated in the throat, then the following symptoms are possible:

• white plaque;
• redness
• pain;
• unpleasant odor;
• fever.

A fungus in the intestine can manifest itself by the appearance of the following symptoms:

• fatigue;
• irritability;
• craving for sweets;
• constipation
• allergic skin rashes.

Cancer according to the theory of Tulio Simonchini

Who first introduced the concept of "antifungal diet"? Tulio Simonchini, an Italian doctor who specialized in the study of cancer, but became famous thanks to research in the field of alternative medicine. According to his theory, cancer is an overgrown fungus that is completely treatable. Simocini suggests that “cancer” in medicine serves as a deceit and a way to kill people with chemotherapy.

This doctor offers his treatment option - this is an active lifestyle and a special antifungal diet. He believes that if you follow these two rules, then you can get rid of cancer. There is no evidence of the truthfulness of Simonchini's sayings, and experts are very skeptical of the work of the former oncologist. However, the diet he developed is really good for the body. It helps to cope with candidiasis diseases.

Causes and infection

Before we go directly to the diet itself, we suggest you list the ways of transmission of fungal diseases.

• transmission during intercourse;
• spread of infection from mother to child during childbirth;
• household transmission method.

The last item may include:

• sharing towels, bedding, clothes, hygiene items;
• the use of other people's scissors, files and other tools for processing nails.

Fungal infection is very easy to catch in public places, such as:

• restroom;
• sauna;
• bathhouse;
• beach;
• pool and so on.

Superficial mycoses have now been examined. Deep forms (in which infection of the internal organs occurs) can occur as a result of inhalation of dust if it contains spores of the pathogen.

Diet rules

The antifungal diet is based on some rules.

• You can not eat sugar and products that contain it. The fact is that elevated glucose levels are an ideal medium for active reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.
• It is necessary to limit the amount of products made from premium wheat flour. From the diet, you should exclude rolls, pastries, pasta, dumplings.
• You can’t eat a lot of fruits rich in sugar. Potentially hazardous foods include citrus fruits, bananas, pears, and sweet grape varieties.
• It is necessary to include in the diet foods that are rich in protein (dairy products, poultry, fish, vegetables, legumes, greens).
• You can eat brown rice, barley and buckwheat.
• Never use foods containing yeast.
• You need to organize the correct regimen - you must eat at the same time, at least 4 times a day, but in small portions.

Here are the basic rules on which an antifungal diet is based. The menu should be balanced and varied. Sticking to it is pretty simple.

Products

In this section, we suggest listing products that can and cannot be included in your diet.

Adhering to these rules, you can easily get rid of an unpleasant fungal infection. It must be remembered: the disease is easier to prevent than to treat. Therefore, in the next section we will discuss preventive measures.

Prevention

As mentioned earlier, an antifungal diet helps not only get rid of the disease, but also serves as a prevention of fungal infections. If you successfully got rid of the disease, still adhere to this diet.

An antifungal diet will help you with stomach problems. To do this, you need to include more vegetables in the diet, including cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, celery, parsley, green peas. Eat fruits, preferring sour apples, cranberries, cherries, kiwi. One rule to remember here is that you should not abuse these products.

From dairy products, you should choose natural yogurts, kefir, cottage cheese. Protein can also be obtained from legumes, beef, poultry, eggs.

Oil can be used both sunflower and olive. Drink herbal teas, and use lemon and water or vegetable juices instead of purchased sweet drinks.

Immunity activation

An antifungal diet, reviews of which are only positive, serves as a means to enhance immunity. But it is a strong immune system that is the key to health and protection against fungal infections. In addition to the diet, it is worth observing the rules of personal hygiene. Consult your doctor - if necessary, he will prescribe additional drugs to increase immunity. Try to lead a healthy lifestyle.
