Candida Albicans Causes

without comments

The human body is naturally composed of harmful and friendly bacteria. The body needs to keep them in balance to stay healthy. There are two common reasons for the bad ones to dominate one area of the body: overuse of antibiotics and poor nutrition.

Too much intake of broad spectrum antibiotics kills the good bacteria and even some bad bacteria. This can cause the overgrowth of Candida.  Also, antibiotics enter the body through the animal products that we eat such as meat, milk and cheese.

This is because the animals that people eat are regularly fed with antibiotics. On the other hand, when the body doesn’t receive enough vitamins and minerals, the human body becomes more prone to bacteria and viruses.
