Thrush Symptoms
On this page you will find all the symptoms of thrush and candida overgrowth that I could locate, if you have several its worth checking out if you have this syndrome, since all of us have candida in the stomach, it is easy for it to become an issue if you are put under severe stress for a prolonged period of time, so if this sounds like you, you need to do something about the stress pronto, as it is destroying your health from the inside out- Stress compromises your immune system, by overstimulating the adrenals, -you may get little rushes of adrenalin all the time due to worry or anxiety, and cortisol is produced to manage the adrenalin "fight or flight" response, unfortunately in todays high stress society we dont get a chance to allow the "relaxation response" resulting in a state of constant chronic stress, and too much cortisol in our bloodstream, which leads to: Stress and Cortisol results in:
- Decreased mental performance
- Higher blood pressure
- compromised immunity and overstimulated inflammatory responses in the body - which results in premature aging and slow healing.
- Blood sugar imbalances
- Decreased bone density
- Decrease in muscle tissue
- Thyroid function is suppressed
- Increased abdominal fat
- Syndrome X /metabolic Syndrome = heart attacks, strokes, high triglycerides and bad cholestrol
- Insulin Resistence and type 2 diabetes
Ok so my lesson on this count is EVERYONE needs to learn to manage their stress, SERIOUSLY, take up Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Meditation, it will keep you young and extend your life, as well as prevent a lowered immune system due to constant stress.
Alrighty the symptoms of Candida are here, and they are hefty, if you have a fair amount of them, its a good idea to start managing your candida profile by researching the anti candida diet and adjusting your lifestyle to support a healthy digestive system.
