Hey guys, today we're going to talk about sugar, yeast, and candida. A lot of people get

0:05.4

yeast infections and candida infections and even other infections from bacteria,

0:10.2

even viral infections. And I want to talk about the relationship between sugar and

0:14.6

getting an infection. Sugar basically paralyzes your immune system, your white blood cells.

0:19.4

Specifically, the neutrophils, which are the front line defense against microbes. So you have

0:25.7

different types of white blood cells. Neutrophils are the ones that go first and they

0:29.7

help defend the body. When you consume sugar, you basically inactivate the neutrophils,

0:35.5

you make them sluggish. And then they don't work anymore. So sugar basically increases your

0:40.5

susceptibility to getting an infection. So these microbes love sugar. And one example of that

0:46.4

would be like a diabetic that has high blood sugar. They have a greater, greater incidence of

0:52.2

having infections, more candida, more bacterial infections. If you have these infections and you're

0:57.9

still consuming sugar and maybe you're taking different remedies to try to get rid of it, it's

1:02.4

not going to work. You have to stop feeding these microbes. So it happens when you have high sugar,

1:08.4

or even low sugar if you have hypoglycemia because what happens when you eat sugar,

1:12.3

you get this spike of insulin and then your blood sugars drop. So you can also get these infections

1:18.4

when you have low blood sugar as well. What do you eat? You can have protein. You can consume

1:24.3

vegetables. You can do nuts. You consume fat. And another question that people want to know,

1:30.5

can I have outside of vinegar? Absolutely. Some people are sensitive to it because it's a fermented

1:35.7

drink. I find most people can do it successfully without a problem. And lastly, make sure you're

1:41.3

avoiding the hidden sugars in alcohol, juice, fruit, dates, figs, breads, pasta, cereal, crackers,

1:51.1

biscuits, waffles, pancakes, and yogurt. And definitely avoid dairy because dairy has lactose,

1:57.2

milk sugar, and candida and yeast love milk sugar. All right, thanks for watching.
