Are you suffering from FUNGAL INFECTION very frequently? (Part 1)
We live in the world filled with bacteria & toxins. And if
you also have poor eating habits,
that can set you up for developing fungal infections more easily.
You may be having a fungal infection if you are suffering from:
- Itching on skin
- Burning sensation on skin
- Skin bleeding due to your scratching
If your fungal infection remains uncured for
longer period of time, or,
if it reappears again and again even after using ointment and medicines,
you might get frustrated, ultimately leading to depression.
High risk factors which help your fungal infection to grow are:
- Excess sugar intake
Simple sugar provides energy to fungi on your skin and
it also interferes in your healing process.
- Weakened immunity
If your immunity is low,
you are prone to catch infection easily. And,
if you are already infected, then
your infection will take time to heal as
your body’s disease fighting capacity is poor.
- Excess alcohol intake
Alcohol consumption also impair your immune system. In addition,
it will also disrupt the barrier function of
your skin which leads to delayed healing.
- Diabetes
Uncontrolled diabetes can aggravate your fungal infection.
As increased sugar in your blood
provide energy to your fungal infection and
reduces your skin healing power.

provide energy to your infection.
