What is Candida? Candida is a yeast infection, specifically named Candida albicans. This infection is a culprit to many symptoms including constant fatigue, mood changes, skin infections and irritations, food allergies and much more. People who are more susceptible to this particular yeast infection include those on antibiotics and prescription medications, weak immune system, stress and different allergies to name just a few. Dietary factors including increased consumption of sugar, processed food and caffeine are shown to play a role in yeast abundance. Lifestyle factors including proper hygiene, dietary modifications, and stress management are holistic approaches to tackle Candida. Take a read for more information on Candida from Mind Body Green.
