Balanced Existence

During the previous week I talked twice about fungi infections such as candida yeast. Firstly, in my article about how unbalanced use of antibiotics is damaging your health. Secondly as part of a series of daily weight loss tips I talked about how parasitic fungi like candida yeast can be the source of serious cravings for food and drink that are high in sugar or that are quickly converted into sugar in your blood after consumption. Today, as promised, I’m going to talk about how you can overcome a parasitic fungi infection such as candida yeast by observing a restricted diet for a limited time period.

Penicillin and other antibiotics are in fact mycotoxins. At the time I found out I was surprised to learn that alcohol is also a mycotoxin. You may be wondering what a mycotoxin is and where does it come from? Penicillium is actually a mold found commonly in soil and many fruits. It is fungi such as molds and yeast that excrete substances called mucotoxins. They are chemicals fungi produce to kill or limit the growth of other organisms, such as bacteria, that compete with fungi for nutrients.
