Yeast infections are caused by the candida bacteria. Although the most-common sites are the mouth and genitals, yeast infections can also affect the skin. If you suffer from a skin yeast infection, you can help eliminate the yeast infection from your skin by following a diet that kills off the candida bacteria overgrowth.
Causes of Skin Yeast
Candida bacteria feed off sugars in the body, thrive in an acidic environment and promote and produce yeast overgrowth the the body. To improve skin yeast infections, it is important to create an environment in the body that is not hospitable for candida bacteria to grow. One way to do this is through diet.
Foods to Avoid
Avoid foods that are naturally or artificially high in sugars; the candida bacteria that causes skin yeast infections feed and thrive on sugars. Avoid eating candies, ice cream, any type of ground grain, such as wheat oat or rice flour, honey, syrups and processed foods that have added sugars and sweeteners. Do not eat mushrooms or other types of fungi, which can worsen a yeast condition.
Foods to Eat
Eat foods that are naturally alkaline, which will help to create an environment in the body that will kill off candida bacteria. Alkaline foods that can ward off candida bacteria include nuts, seeds, fresh vegetables such as spinach and broccoli, fresh fruit such as apples and pears, lean meats and fish. Use oil and vinegar dressing instead of a creamier dressing on salads, as vinegar is extremely alkaline.
Considerations
Consult your medical or holistic doctor if you do not notice an improvement in your skin yeast infection after a few days of changing your diet. Your doctor may prescribe a prescription that can help eliminate your yeast infection more quickly. Always check with your doctor before eliminating foods from your diet. Certain medical conditions, including diabetes, can worsen from the sudden removal of food groups.
