Fruit does not feed candida and why excess fat does.

That’s scary, but the remedy is simple: treat your Candida yeast overgrowth and go eat an apple! You’ll be glad you did.

One of the most important elements of a healthy diet, after eliminating sugar is adding fiber.

Why is adding fiber such a big deal if you want to boost your Candida treatment?


Once you have managed to get your Candida under control, adding fiber to your diet is one of the best ways to help your microbiome recover. 

Fiber is a pre-biotic, which feeds the good “probiotics” in your gut.

Perhaps you heard your grandmother or great grandmother encourage you to eat “roughage”. 

Fiber is the part of grain that cannot be digested. It is found in all vegetables, fruits, especially the skins and the bran in whole grains.


If your diet is currently pretty low in fiber, add it back in gradually: too much may lead to gas and bloating and cause you to give up before you reap the benefits. 

Eating a fiber-rich diet, may be the most important one of all: the health of our microbiome.

The “microbiome” is the community of gut microbes that, in a healthy person, protects us against “bad bacteria”, breaks down and digests food to make nutrients available and release energy, and produces vitamins.

When the microbiome is compromised—as is the case with Candida overgrowth—it creates gut dysbiosis or imbalance. 


This makes us more susceptible to disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and can even lead to autoimmune disorders like inflammatory bowel disease and chronic fatigue syndrome.

When you switch to a high-fiber/low-fat diet, changes in the microbiome can be detected within three days.

We are losing gut microbiome  by consuming a lowfiber/high simple-sugar diet, which will eventually impact longevity and ability to fight disease.

Start incorporating fresh avocado into your diet with some of these avocado recipes.
