Candida feeds on sugar. Have you ever had a snack with loads of sugar, and immediately started to feel bogged down, and tired? Sugar also does not help with the amount of overgrowth of yeast in your body. When battling a yeast infection of any kind, it is best to avoid or cut down on sugar.
The easiest place to start is in your drinks. Do you drink several sodas everyday? Do you prepare numerous cups of coffee in the morning and just shake in the sugar.
Artificial sweeteners and natural sweeteners are a great alternative to sweetening all of your drinks with sugar. While you are out, try an unsweetened tea at your favorite fast food restaurant. McDonald’s ha s a great this summer on an extra large sweet or unsweetened tea for one dollar. The sweeteners available there are Splenda, Sweet n low, and Equal. If you are addicted to flavored water, bring along an on the go powdered drink packet to add to bottled or a drink of water. When you start looking for options not sweetened with corn syrup or sugar will become more visible.
If you absolutely can not live without your sweet tea, try this. Start to measure your sugar by the glass. Make a picture of iced tea unsweetened. Regular tea is great; but also considers some herbal tees with flavor. Such as green tea, chai, or berry flavored. Start gradually reducing the amount of sugar that you put into your drink. Give natural sweeteners a try. Try a few different types of drinks with sweeteners like Stevia or Agave Nectar.
