which normally resides into our body and is placed in the digestive tract as well as
in the vagina. Our immunity system along with the live microorganism keeps a
check on its levels. Humans are prone to many diseases some are less dangerous
whereas some are more dangerous. The treatment is charted out after diagnosing
any disease. Some more complicated and higher stages of diseases require
intense treatment; sometimes anti-biotic is administered to recover from illness.
These antibiotics may lead to killing of friendly bacteria present in our body or
there are other reasons due to which the immunity system gets weakened. In
such cases, the growth of this yeast is unchecked and uncontrolled.

imbalance in any system leads to some or the other complications such as poor
memory, craving for sweet, depression, skin infections, oral cavities, vaginal yeast
infection. Weakened immune system caused by this scenario leads to more
dangerous diseases like AIDS. Doctors administer a pro- biotic diet for such
patients. This is called candida diet. This type of diet has various components
which alter the growth of yeast and favor friendly bacteria to grow. This diet
includes consumption of no sugar, at the most less than 60 grams per day sugar
is allowed. Doctors recommend consumption of any dishes including yeast is to be
completely avoided till recovery and the intake should be restricted thereafter.
They also suggest some constipation remedies to patients for overcoming
problems caused due to weaker intestine. Maintaining a healthy balance of diet,
exercise and mental health are simple yet very much effective solutions to keep
illnesses at bay. Including them into our daily life have great benefits. A healthy
body with healthy mind is a most productive combination!
