What Causes Yeast Infections – Acid/Alkaline Balance

In establishing what causes yeast infections, we’ve discussed that one common yet seldom diagnosed condition is acidosis, or an imbalance of our body’s natural pH.

Medical professionals and researchers are finding out that we have a better chance at maintaining long-term health if we pay attention to our body’s pH levels.  Ultimate pH should be neutral or slightly alkaline.  Unfortunately, most of the Standard American Diet (SAD) consists of process and fast foods which are highly acidic in nature.  When we lean toward the acidic side of things, our potential for developing serious problems, in addition to yeast infections or Candida  overgrowths, increases substantially.  These health problems include heart disease, kidney disease and osteoporosis, just to name a few.

A healthy and balanced diet should consist of 20% acid-forming foods and 80% alkaline-forming foods.

The good news is, pH levels are easily monitored with pH strips that can be found on-line or at most health food stores.

The bad news is, most of us need to drastically change our diets from SAD to glad…if you know what I mean.

The answer, according to scientists and researchers who have studied chronic acidosis, is a diet that includes more alkaline foods and less acidic foods.

And just what kind of diet is that, you ask?  It’s a diet that’s high in veggies and fruits.  Surprised?  Probably not…but I do want to share some of the research regarding the physical repercussions of an overly acidic diet.

This is where the “rubber meets the road” in terms of realizing how important a healthy pH balanced diet really is.  When we eat too many acidic foods our body’s pH is lowered and thrown out of balance.  Our kidneys then take over efforts to compensate for the excess acidity.  Our bones start excreting calcium and magnesium to restore proper alkalinity, and our muscles start breaking down to release ammonia, which is highly alkaline.   At the end of this process, the calcium released by your bones and the broken down muscle are all flushed out in your urine.

Your bones and muscles are literally being flushed down the toilet–not a good thing.

In my opinion, this is why so many of us suffer from osteoporosis, arthritis and other joint, muscle and bone deterioration.   These problems are only made worse as we age, which only increases bone and muscle deterioration.

What’s the answer–a healthy balanced diet.  In fact, this is the answer to most all of our health problems, including yeast infections.  Period.
