Constipation: Candida's Constant Companion

If you're constipated, there's a very good chance that you may have candida. What does it mean to be constipated? If your bowels move less than once a day, you ARE constipated. Ideally, they should move three times a day, within a few hours after every meal.

Constipation isn't just an inconvenience. It has serious effects on your health. When you're not eliminating regularly, toxins are reabsorbed back into your system. Your system is being poisoned and the environment for disease is created.

Other contributing factors include:

• a diet high in processed, refined, low fiber, cooked foods - find out what foods are healthy to eat
• not drinking adequate amounts of good pure water - divide your body weight by 2 and that is the minimum number of ounces of water you need per day - if you weigh 128 pounds, you need 64 ounces or 1/2 gallon of good pure water a day
• not getting adequate amounts of regular exercise
