Zinc, selenium, vitamin A and vitamin D 

are also crucial for the body to fight off Candida, so if you are deficient in any of these, you will be more vulnerable to overgrowth. Many people are deficient in zinc, because some microbes have developed the ability to make you excrete your zinc in your urine in order to disable your immune system. 



A deficiency in zinc can also cause the lining of your gut to become weak and more permeable, which results in leaky gut and the escape of toxins and undigested food particles into the bloodstream.


Increase copper antagonist
These are minerals that help rebalance copper, excrete copper. The main copper antagonists are manganese, vitamin B, C and E, sulphur, selenium and molybdenum.

ZINC

Zinc is an important mineral for the body. Adult males need 11 milligrams of Zinc each day, and females need 8 mg.

 Keep in mind that this is cumulative throughout the day, so you shouldn’t try to meet that requirement in one sitting, or with one food. 

Zinc deficiency
Today most people are deficient in zinc. The reason for this is refined sugar, white rice and white flour have been stripped of their zinc.

A deficiency of zinc causes the build up of copper in the tissues as copper is used instead of zinc for enzyme reactions. 

Zinc is needed for the proper immune response. A proper immune response is required to fight off candida and keep it under control.
The vegetarian diet is very high in copper. Nuts, beans, seeds and grains are very high in copper. Meat contains copper, but the ratio of copper to zinc is more balanced. 

Zinc competes for the absorption of copper in the gut, so this will prevent so much copper from being absorbed into the body.

Drink water
We know we should be drinking 8 glasses of water a day, but When trying to detox from copper it is important to drink even more. The water in our body helps to get the copper mobile and moving through the detox pathways.
Copper antagonists

Top 10 Magnesium Foods Infographic Chart


MAGNESIUM

Candida sufferers are often deficient in magnesium. This is because the Candida yeast interferes with the way that magnesium is taken up in your intestine. 
A deficiency in magnesium can result in fatigue, immune disorders, leg cramps, headaches, low energy and fibromyalgia.

BIOTIN

Biotin is found in many foods, but Candida sufferers are frequently found to have deficiencies in this important vitamin. This happens for two main reasons. Firstly, one of the body’s major sources of Biotin is actually your intestinal flora. The friendly bur gut synthesize biotin and release it into your bloodstream. Secondly, deficiency in Biotin (otherwise known as vitamin B7) can also be caused by a course of broad spectrum antibiotics, which is of course a common cause of Candida overgrowth too. Biotin is particularly important for Candida sufferers because it prevents the Candida yeast cells from converting into the pathogenic, fungal form.

Blood sugar balance

Diets low in biotin impair the production of insulin, a key hormone in the balancing of blood sugar. Deficiency of biotin also affects the way insulin acts on cells,  low biotin intake potentially creates sugar problems.

The biotin-rich foods are also strong sources of fiber, which make them great staples for people with blood sugar problems, SO adding an ounce of nuts into the diet for 12 weeks led to significant improvement in blood sugar control for people at high risk of developing diabetes.

Dietary sources of biotin include egg yolks, brown rice, liver and kidney along with dietary supplements of biotin may well help to prevent candida from converting into its invasive fungal form.

Drinking water and eating mostly whole foods (not the kinds that come in packages!) also ensures you obtain enough other important electrolytes.




MAGNESIUM

Candida sufferers are often deficient in magnesium. This is because the Candida yeast interferes with the way that magnesium is taken up in your intestine. A deficiency in magnesium can result in fatigue, immune disorders, leg cramps, headaches, low energy and fibromyalgia.

BIOTIN

Blood sugar balance

Diets low in biotin impair the production of insulin, a key hormone in the balancing of blood sugar. More recently, researchers have shown that deficiency of biotin also affects the way insulin acts on cells, giving a second reason that low biotin intake potentially creates problems.


The biotin-rich foods we list are also strong sources of fiber, which make them great staples for people with blood sugar problems. 
Adding about an ounce of nuts into the diet for 12 weeks led to significant improvement in blood sugar control in a group of people at high risk of developing diabetes.

Biotin deficiency 
Can lead to skin rashes, hair loss, depression and lethargy, among other symptoms. It is particularly important for Candida sufferers because it prevents the Candida yeast cells from converting into the pathogenic, fungal form.
