CANDIDA and ObesityCould candida and obesity be connected? In this developed world we live in, where our modern lifestyle tends to make us eat more and move less, there is an ever increasing population who are overweight and some to the point of obesity. These people are very uncomfortable and find it difficult to get about, so continue to move less and less. Excess weight is a concern for 65% of the American population. I just heard on the news that larger aeroplane seats are being built for the 1/3 of the population of the United States that are considered to be obese. You may have tried many different types of diets in the past and they worked for a little while and then your weight just climbed back up and the belly fat increased. This is very discouraging and eventually giving up seems to be the result of this. Not only is this detrimental to your overall health, with your weight fluctuating up and down, but it’s expensive on the pocket book, as the clothing sizes keep changing too. There is a strong likelihood that if you do have a weight problem, then Candida could be causing it. Dr. Crook in the Yeast Connection believed there was a connection between yeast overgrowth and overweight. THE VICIOUS CYCLE …… Candida and Weight Gain! It is no wonder our immune function gets weakened. The cycle starts when the symptoms from a yeast overgrowth resulting from antibiotics taken for a virus or a yeast infection, or the antibiotics ingested through food and the growth hormones added to livestock feed, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides used to boost crop production and the toxic chemicals everywhere. I’m sure you have read articles on the chemicals and toxins we are subjected to on a daily basis. The result of taking antibiotics, is that the intestinal flora becomes unbalanced. The good bacteria in the intestine are killed off but the yeast are not harmed. Yeast grows out of control in the digestive tract and toxins build. Leaky Gut Syndrome may be diagnosed next. Leaky Gut Syndrome is so aptly named as it allows yeast toxins to spread through the body. More on Leaky Gut later. Then food allergies and intolerances develop and the cycle continues. You are continuing to feel tired, sluggish and miserable. Let’s have a piece of cake! Or maybe a chocolate bar! Did you know that yeast feeds on sugar? You start having cravings for carbohydrates and sugar. Can you see where the weight gaining comes next? Weight Gain and Yeast! Toxins from yeast overgrowth create allergic responses and trigger hormone imbalance. When your hormones are out of control, your metabolism is impaired. This can slow down the calorie-burning process………more weight. Blood sugar control is impaired, resulting in high blood sugar, more yeast, more weight. Health Problems Associated with Obesity.
