Coconut Oil and Candida
My husband and his sister suffer from candida. Being the big coconut oil fan that I am, I thought surely this wonder product could help. I have not really found anything yet that coconut oil couldn't help. So I investigated coconut oil and candida and here is what I came up with but first I need to give you some background.
Candida is a digestive disorder that leaves you with a larger number of toxins in your body than you have with a healthy digestive system. This can lead you to feeling lethargic, chronically fatigued and with higher frequency and longer-lasting colds. You can also damage your intestinal wall if you have a bad case of candida that is allowed to grow freely in your system.
What causes candida? Poor quality eating habits. Food with little or no fiber and nutritional value eats away at your good bacteria that fights off the bad organisms leaving you unable to protect yourself. Antibiotics, steroids and other drugs also kill off good bacteria while they are helping to make you well so this leaves your digestive tract less able to function properly. When your digestive tract is not protected well with good bacteria, candida grows more rapidly.
So, what is the best way to get your digestive tract back in order and kill candida? Eat coconut and coconut oil. The candida microbes are killed off by the Medium Chain Fatty Acids in coconut oil. This superfood will also help keep your digestive system in alignment!
