① Sweets

Sweets and carbonated drinks not only cause tooth decay, but also accelerate the growth of mold in the human body. The more sugar there is in the blood, the more likely it is to foster the growth of mold and cause local infection. A study of people with repeated mold infections showed that the sugar content in the urine of most patients was significantly higher than the average blood sugar level of healthy people.

Clinical statistics also show that 90% of female patients rarely experience recurrence of vaginal yeast infections within one year after reducing their daily sugar intake.

Precautions

Although there is medical evidence that mold infections are linked to sugar intake, there is no need to completely eliminate sugary foods from your diet. As long as you don't overdo it, you can still enjoy sweet and tempting fruits, snacks and sodas without worrying about it.

②Oral contraceptives

Women who take oral contraceptives containing estrogen are nearly twice as likely to be infected with yeast as other women. Because the excess estrogen provided by the pills will change the acid-base environment in the vagina, and this changed environment is exactly the most suitable for the reproduction of mold.

Precautions

Try to choose oral contraceptives with lower estrogen content. Alternatively, you can choose a completely non-estrogen birth control pill, but this is less effective than oral contraceptives that contain estrogen, especially if you forget to take the pill at the same time every day.

③ Antibiotics

The function of antibiotics is to kill bacteria, so how can they cause mold growth? That's right, while antibiotics eliminate harmful bacteria in the body, they also kill many beneficial bacteria that can control the growth of mold, thus causing mold "proliferation". Side effects are especially noticeable when you take a strong, broad-spectrum antibiotic.

Precautions

Don't take antibiotics in the early stages of a cold. Even if it is really necessary, it should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If your doctor decides that a mild antibiotic is adequate for treatment, it is best not to take a stronger type. Some experts recommend taking some lactic acid bacteria tablets during antibiotic treatment, because studies have shown that acidophilus lactobacillus can effectively control the growth of mold and maintain a healthy balance of acid and alkali environment in the body.
