How does yeasts grow ?

Yes they reproduce as well. Yeast reproduce asexually i.e yeasts are not classied in male and female genders like human beings. Each micro-organism has both male and female sex. Yeast reproduce their own kind by diving in 2 parts. The moment a single organism has energy to support another organism it divides and reproduces another yeast. They are capable of reproducing a many times in 1 second.

A warm envirnoment, ideal temration being in the range 10 degree Celcius to 36 degree celcius and moist specialy and a little acidic ph envirnoment envirnoment is best for them. However these organisms die above 50degree celcius.Their primary source of nutrition is sugar.

Yeast Kinds – Good or Bad

Yeasts are micro-organisms.Just as animals are a part of animal kingdom and plants are a part of plant kingdom, yeasts are a part of kingdom fungi ( Fungus).There are about 1500 types of yeasts - yeast that we use to bake cake and cookies, mushrooms that we eat, tiny green lumps that grow on on bread kept in open for a long time, mushrooms that we eat are all examples of yeasts.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae : The species of yeast used to bake and alcohol production

Candida albicans : This is a harmful fungal yeast that can cause infection males,males and children.

The Candida Diet

Foods to be avoided:

Sugar

Candida yeast feeds on refined sugar products most conveniently. e.g.: sweets, Junk food and processed foods eg bakery products like bread, cake, cookies, cereals , Canned juices and food.

Bleached Flower

It is another processed food that can be broken down into sugar which is nutrition for your Candida bacteria.

Yeast products

Eating products that contain yeast make Candida albicans infections severe. A lot of food items that we eat contain yeast like bread, cake, Vinegar, sauces – tomatoes mustard and chili etc

Food Products that cause Discomfort/Allergy:

Tap water

Tap water contains chlorine sufficient to damage the natural environment of your gut, if not destroy it completely. This can lead to yeast infection. Use filters if you are to drink tap water, boil the tap water or consume bottled water

Lactose Intolerance

Lactose is simply a sugar found in milk. Lactose intolerance means that the digestive system of an individual is not able to break down the sugar – LACTOSE found in milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Hence, it is called Lactase Deficiency. This condition will lead to the growth of unfriendly bacteria Candida

Commercial Meat, Poultry and Eggs

We should Purchase organic products or live stock raised naturally. They are a little expensive, but the health benefits they procure are worth it. Commercial grade meat and poultry is raised in very unhygienic conditions and through an artificial process. The farmers feed the live stock many antibiotics that make animals prone to disease. Certain quantity of these antibiotics are eliminated by the time this meat reaches the meat shop the amount left is enough to induce the growth Candida yeast bacteria

Effects of Vaginal Yeast Infection

It has been estimated that 3 out of 4 women suffer from Vaginal Yeast Infection during their lifetime. It is a fungus caused by a bacteria Candida albicans. This bacterium affects many critical processes of our body such as digestive process, metabolic process, and anabolic process and so on.It is important for a female to see a doctor  if she feels that she might be suffering from Vaginal Yeast infection. There are natural cures of Vaginal Yeast Infection. The Effects of of a vaginal yeast infection are mentioned below :-

Liver : These Candida bacteria secrete 75 different toxins that are like slow poison for the liver. These toxins dissolve with the enzymes secreted by the bile thereby reducing the efficiency of the digestive process.

Colon (Large intestines) and kidney : They expel the waste material from our body. If they become inefficient in doing so. The same waste material will secrete in our blood stream adding impurities in our blood. This has adverse effects on skin and hair. It leads to hair fall, acne, pimples and blackheads.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome : It is a condition in which the walls of the colon swell up during to injuries caused by parasites and fungus (Candida bacteria) sticking on the walls of our intestines. In this state people generally suffer from regular/chronic constipation and/or diarrhea.

Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome : Irritable bowel syndrome if not checked on time can lead to inflammatory bowel syndrome which is very dangerous because in certain cases the doctors have to cut the larger intestines to protect the patient from this disease.

Digestive process : If the digestive process slows down the supply of nutrients to our body also reduces. If our body does not get nutrients in sufficient quantity the amount of energy we require will also reduce thus making us feel lazy, weak and lathargic most of the time.

Cirrhosis of Liver : if a person consumes a lot of alcohol then he makes his/her liver weaker and prone to cirrhosis of lives.
