What Causes Candidiasis?

To begin with, we need to mention that this particular type of yeast, Candida Albicans, is very beneficial to your body when present in correct amounts.

The slightest overgrowth causes things to go very wrong.

How Yerba Mate Helps You Fight Candida

First and foremost you have to get rid of sugar and flour. Remember biology? To activate yeast you must provide it with sugar. Same thing with Candida. Another trigger is coffee. It over stimulates the body leading to the overgrowth of candida.
