Fungal infections are among the most common and persistent types of infections in the world. They often go undiagnosed, and most people that have a fungal infection are completely unaware of it. If left untreated, fungal infections can lead to further health issues.
A Candida overgrowth can run rampant in the body as a result of:
- Taking excessive antibiotics
- Eating a diet high in refined carbohydrates
- Drinking too much alcohol (particularly beer and wine)
- Long-term birth control pill use
- Chronic stress or numerous other lifestyle factors that disrupt your microbiome.
Candida naturally lives in your body but in very small amounts. Typically, the good bacteria in your gut, as well as your immune system, prevent candida from growing out of control.
