In the healthy organism Candida is harmless. If only the organism falls out of the normal balance, Candida can grow excessively, causing a lot of problems such as problems in digestion, headache, acne and a lot of others. There are a lot of different factors that created the appropriate conditions to grow this form of yeast on the human body.
From long years experience it is affirmed that the main cause of candida overgrowth is a weakened immune system and a high-carbohydrate intake at the same time. It is thought that stress is the main factor who weakened immune systems (other than physical disorders such as HIV/AIDS). So it is right to say that STRESS + HIGH-CARBS = CANDIDA OVERGROWTH. Do you want to be healthy? So remove the first two things from this equality.
In addition to, a good digestive system is a very necessary factor in away to avoid the growth of Candida. It is proved that stress, insufficient physical activity, the lack of sleep time can also effect the digestive process. So it is suggesting trying to balance your nutrition, to sleep enough and your immune system should work perfectly.
From all Candida causes we can divide some that are more prone to Candida overgrowth than others. People having AIDS, diabetes, cancer, depression, people using the steroid medication, vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, birth control pill use for over three years, various toxins the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions are more in the risk factor than other.
It should be noticed that long using of certain medications especially antibiotics may also improve the Candida's overgrowth.
So, as we can see, the immune weakness is probably the most obvious reason for the development of candidiasis.
