Anti-Candida Superstar Foods 2: Gut Healing Foods

We all know that an anti-candida diet is essential when you’re fighting the beast that is yeast, and there’s a whole list of “do not eat” comestibles. But I think there’s a special category within the anti-candida diet that I refer to as “Anti-Candida Superstar Foods.” 

Superstar foods are the ones that can actively help your healing along, in one of four main ways:

1. They actively kill off some of the excess fungus and yeast in the body (ie, anti-fungal foods);
2. They help to reduce inflammation, thereby allowing your own immune system to operate more effectively (anti-inflammatory foods);
3. They help to heal leaky gut, which is almost always an issue with candida (healing foods); and
4. They actively boost the immune system, allowing your body to effectively heal itself (immune-boosting foods).

I’m going to add one more “Honorable Mention” category, too: Hypo-allergenic foods–that is, those foods least likely to spur allergic reactions–which will also lessen the load on the immune system.

I’ll deal with each of these categories in a separate video as part of the “Anti-Candida Superstar Foods” series.

In today’s video, I talk about my top five picks for foods that help to heal the gut. This is essential for anyone with candida, as leaky gut can prolong the healing process.
