If you have a yeast infection, it's likely that you're not sure what caused the yeast infection in the first place. Most sufferers have no real clue what caused their infection, and have no idea how to cure their infection the right way.

The biggest problem with yeast is that it's already in all of us. Our body naturally creates yeast cells, and although these cells can be very harmful, if their numbers are kept under control yeast can be quite beneficial to us and our bodies.

Yeast loves warm, dark and wet areas of the body. And it's in areas such as the arm pits, the mouth, under the breast and genitals that yeast cells are most likely to be present. Basically any area of the body that has folded skin.

Plenty of folks are able to live yeast free lives, but it's those unlucky ones who encounter an imbalance who are the worst affected by the overgrowth of yeast cells. The trouble is... it doesn't take much for your body to become unbalanced. As soon as this change takes place the yeast cells will be free to roam and spread around the body.

Medication...
A common reason behind many yeast infections is medication. And it's antibiotic based medication that is the very worst offender, causing the most immune damage. The problem is, antibiotics don't just kill off the bad bacteria in the body, they also the kill the essential good bacterias too. And... this is where the trouble starts. It's only the good bacteria that are able to keep the yeast cells in check, but once their numbers start tp diminish, the yeast cells are free to multiply and spread.

Diet...
One of the biggest contributors to a yeast overgrowth is a bad diet. These days most of us eat too many carbohydrates and sugars. Not only are these foods bad for us and make us fat, but they also increase the chances of a yeast overgrowth. Eating the wrong foods will boost the growth of your yeast cells as well as weakening your immune system.
