Everyday Habits That Could Give you a yeast infection

Got yeast? Yes, you might—even if you’re not burning, itching, or noticing weird discharge when you wipe. Yeast, which is actually a fungus called candida, pretty much always hangs out in the vagina in small numbers. “Yeast likes warm, damp places,” says Nina Ali, MD, assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine.

Most of the time, that's okay: It’s too acidic in a healthy vagina for yeast to multiply and cause infection. But it doesn’t take much to change a vagina’s pH level and give yeast the green light to take off, which might be why 3 out of every 4 women will have a yeast infection in their lifetime. And once you get one, you’re more likely to get others, though doctors aren’t quite sure why.

Whether or not you're naturally prone to this problem, you might unknowingly be raising your risk by making one or more of these common mistakes.

Letting sugar dominate your diet

You don't have to eat chocolate cake to flood your blood with glucose. Sugar seems to lurk in everything, from ketchup to bread to peanut butter and more. (Watch for these 6 secret sugar bombs you're buying at the grocery store.) And when you consistently take in too much, it can lead to a host of problems—including yeast infections. “If there's more glucose available in your body, that's an energy source for the yeast,” says Ali.

Burning the midnight oil
Are you a night owl? Do you sit up surfing channels or your smartphone until the wee hours? Your lack of sleep is likely doing a number on your immune system. When you don’t get quality shut-eye, your body isn’t well-equipped to fight off infections, and that includes yeast infections. In fact, any habit that keeps you from maintaining good health—staying stressed, not exercising, eating poorly—can wreak havoc on your body’s defenses, says Ali.

Squeezing into tight jeans

Any clothing that’s pressed up against your crotch creates a dark and damp haven for yeast to thrive. Your clothes should be breathable, so that any sweat you get can evaporate quickly. “Anything tight creates that situation where things can't get aired out,” says Cackovic.

Being very overweight can also be problematic. Yeast is a fan of skin folds, and if you have them in your nether regions and don't keep them dry it's easy to end up with infections both within and beyond the vagina. (Skin rashes are common.)

HOAX OF INFECTION

What causes disease? - This have been the quest since the beginning of human civilization and start of science.

The conception of Infection is coined to answer one of the reasons of disease.

Infection means transferring of disease from one organism to another organism. It is explained in Germ theory, introduced by Louise Pasteur.
The presence of microorganism in a diseased body was investigated and inferred as the cause of disease.
Infection is commonly understood  as attacks of pathogens to cause some disease.

1. Why a pathogen attacks us?
2. Are pathogens against the existence of human beings?
3. Is this attack, an evidence of violent nature of pathogens?

Superstitious answers to the above questions establish a dark image of pathogens in front of us.

As if we are surrounded by ferocious pathogens who we need to protect from, always!

The mechanisms of nature is not that gleamed! It is well synced with the presence of homeostasis all over, holistically. The repair of falling (if any) from homeostasis is also well programmed in nature.

The concept of pathogens as enemy is a work of fiction and a half-done research. Pathogens are invited in a diseased body by the filth materials (read, toxins) already present in our body. Considering pathogens as hosts is superstitious.

Research 1:

1864, a French scientist, Louis Pasteur introduced Germ theory to explain the causes of disease. The research was based on the presence of micro-organisms in a diseased body.

The Germ Theory concluded that the diseases are caused by some external harmful micro- organisms called ‘pathogens’ which includes bacteria, viruses, germs etc.

Since the start of human civilization, the idea of ENEMY is somehow made popular.

The moment micro-organisms are tagged as an enemy, harmful, the world grabbed the theory with no time and immediately industrialized the protection or the remedies against the so-called ‘attacks’ of micro-organisms.
Commercialization of ‘Germ Theory’ slowly engulfed the human community. Since then, we were conditioned with the fear of germs.

Research 2:

But the story of finding the actual causes of diseases has not ended there. There was another scientist in the same country, France, Antoine Béchamp.

He introduced Soil theory after few years. Which was an extension of the previous theory. There are claims that say, Béchamp actually started his research on the causes of disease much earlier and the interim reports of his research were plagiarized and published as Germ theory.

The Soil theory explains the causes of disease in deeper conviction. It says that the presence of micro-organisms in a diseased body is not enough to conclude about the cause of disease!
The presence of so-called HARMFUL micro-organisms actually occurs after the diseased condition starts in the body. Soil theory explains micro-organisms as the effect NOT the cause of a diseased body.
The disease is caused in the body by its constituents and the nature of dealings with the environment by the individual.

The primary governing factor for diseases is the way one leads the life i.e. the lifestyle of the individual.
Hence whenever we lead an unhealthy lifestyle it generates toxin depositions, the filth materials grow in our body.
Thereby we invite pathogens to our body.

If we continue shielding ourselves from the germs, there will no end of that strive. Germs are the scavengers of filth materials, nature will keep on supplying germs to us more and more till we keep on creating filth within us, to maintain the homeostasis!

Instead of shielding ourselves from infections, correcting the causes which accumulates filth or toxins within us,  is the right route towards optimal health and happiness.
