Makrobiotika - Škodlivost droždí

Ja te uspokojim jen anglicky:

"Yeasts are single cell fungi which belong to the vegetable kingdom. And like their cousins the molds, they live all around you. And one family of yeasts, Candida albicans, normally lives in your body and more especially in your intestines and other parts of your digestive tract."

Yeast germs normally lives on the mucous membranes, along with billions of friendly germs. The dark recesses of the digestive tract and the vaginas are the perfect environment for yeasts. Unfriendly bacteria, allergens, and viruses also find their way into these and other membrane-lined passageways, including the respiratory tract. However, when the immune system is strong, these unfriendly bacteria arent able to penetrate into the deepertissues or blood stream. When the system is weak and vulnerable, the opposite occurs thus creating illness.

When yeasts multiply in the body, the put out toxins which circulate through the system causing hundreds of symptoms which often times lead to serious illness. When the yeast multiplication occurs, this weakens the immune system. Other factors such as nutrition deficiencies caused by poor diet and/or inability of the body to absorb essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, vitamin minerals also weaken the immune system.

Common symptoms of a weak immune system are fatigue, depression, headaches, and the development of yeast or fungus infections on the nails, skin, or vagina. Allergies and becoming more susceptible to infections such as those of nose, sinus, ear, throat, bronchial tubes, and bladder are also common symptoms.

Twentieth century diets which are rich in sugar, bakers yeast, and birth control pills encourage yeast growth. Naturally leavened bread, commonly referred to as yeast-free bread, is easily assimilated by the body and does not promote yeast growth.
