you may not give much thought to your toenails but they play an important role in keeping your
feet healthy toenail fungus is a common condition that can cause your nails to become thick yellow
and even crumbly oh well left untreated toenail fungus can lead to some serious health problems
it can cause cellulitis bone infections you name fungi or incredible organisms that play a
vital role in our ecology they help to break down organic matter releasing nutrients back into the
soil they also form symbiotic relationships with plants helping them to update water and minerals
in fact some estimates suggest that there are more fungi in the world than the plants
well given their importance it is no surprise that fungi love and warm moist environment like the one
inside your shoes well the specific type of fungus is called a dermatophyte and while it may not be
beneficial or friendly are certainly fascinating if you damage your toenail let's say you did I
do that all the time the nail will need around three to six months to grow out completely new
we are going to put a hold to the yeast or fungus so the new nail will have to grow out
but it will take time so if the old nail is already damaged just keep cutting it straight
line until it grows out since the damaged nail cannot be repaired the only option is to develop
anyone while protecting the new one from further Invasion by Fungus which dermatophytes and yeast
and so forth so left uncontrolled diabetes can provide perfect environment for fungi to growth
high blood sugar levels make it easier for fungi to thrive and multiply which can lead
to infections in addition diabetes can cause damage to the nerves and blood vessels making
it really difficult for the body to fight off infection as a result people with diabetes are
more susceptible the fungal infections or any other infection in their Garden
the best way to prevent this from happening is to keep your blood sugar levels under perfect
control well this can be done by following a low carb diet and finding ways to lower your
blood sugar levels a lot of you are using sugar MD Advanced glucose support which I am grateful and
happy for you that helps you to keep your blood sugar under control but the toenail actually may
seem like an unlikely breeding ground for fungi you would think but the conditions around the
nails actually are quite hospitable for these organisms now yeast and fungi they thrive in
cool dark humid and moist conditions all of which can be found right around your toenails
for example shoes provide a warm and enclosed environment that is often humid due to the
sweat produced by your feet am I gross enough well additionally sucks and tights can further add to
the moisture around your nails by trapping sweat and preventing it from evaporating even simple or
as simple as wearing nail polish can actually create perfect conditions for fungi growth
as polish provides a darkened environment and can prevent air and light from reaching your nails
lovely given these conditions it is no wonder that the toenail fungus is such a common problem
well luckily there are a few steps you can take to prevent these organisms from taking over your
nails first you have to make sure to wear shoes that breathe and allow your feet to air out second
choose socks made from materials that Wick away moisture such as synthetic fibers or wool diabetic
socks are great as well finally take breaks from wearing nail polish for a second for a couple
weeks and months or at least make sure to apply a new coat regularly to prevent the polish from
becoming a breeding ground for the fungi by taking these precautions you can actually help keep your
nails healthy and free of infection what else can we do well we said humidity and coolness is the
friend of the fungi well we'll use Sun for yeast and mold the Silver Bullet is as good as it gets
they dislike growing in drag sunlight much like mushrooms they favor growing in the shade of trees
or in the middle of the woods apparently they prefer hanging out there fungus on your toenails
is no different from the fungus on a mushroom it does not like to be in the sunlight for extended
period of time well to put it simply use fungi dermatified they'll hate being exposed to light
so the fungus can be eradicated and actually kept at Bay if you expose your little feet to
the Sun for just five minutes every day at which point the fungus population will be too low to
penetrate your toenail so you know five minutes of sun a day is a huge deal my Floridian patients
are in lagrite it is a simple way to soak up some rays plus it is a pretty cool feeling
who doesn't love a little sun on their body and feet right just go to the beach occasionally here
next important thing is Food hygiene most of us are pretty good about keeping our bodies
clean on a daily basis we shower brush our teeth wash our hands regularly hopefully however there
is one area of our bodies that we often forget to clean properly duh it's our feet our feet are one
of the most important parts of our bodies and yet we often neglect them just think about how much
wear and tear they go through in a day we walk or stand on them for hours and they often get sweaty
and dirty and yet many of us never think to give them a proper cleaning one of the best ways to
clean your feet properly is to use a toothbrush yes that's right a toothbrush a toothbrush can
help to get into all those nooks and crannies that regular washing can miss just make sure to use a
clean toothbrush and scrub gently between the tails you'll be surprised at how much dirt and
grime comes off and your feet will feel so much better okay well there are many over-the-counter
treatments as well for toenail fungus you might be wondering right now like Lamisil is one of
the most well-known one and but these topical ones that are over the counter that don't really
do much lumisil pill is a prescription medication it comes in a tablet form but you know Lamisil is
considered generally safe but there are potential some bad side effects that includes your liver
enzyme elevation which is liver damage lupus which is an autoimmune disease central nervous system
damage depression loss of taste jaundice and hair loss you may be wondering what to do or how to
deal with this naturally well we already talked half of it but if you want to use a substance a
remedy there are a few things that you can try at home well a lot of them is Epsom salt socks
all you need is a few tablespoons of Epsom salt some hot water and 15 minutes to spare
soak your feet in the solution for 15 minutes a day and you should see a significant Improvement
in the condition of your skin especially around your nails within a few weeks
in addition to softening and moisturizing Epsom salt soaks can help to relieve pain
and tension well what else tea tree oil this is a natural compound with a long history of uses
it has been used topically like on the surface for cuff or acne for dandruff live scabies and fungus
now tea tree oil is a natural white Spectrum anti-fungal compound actually this means that
it can kill many different types of fungus in addition tea tree oil inhibits fungal mycelium
this is a part of the fungus that grows and spreads under the toenail as a result tea tree oil
is an effective treatment for the toenail fungus there aren't actually many commercial products
available that contain tea tree oil however it is possible to make your own by adding a
few drops of tea tree oil to a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil most of you know coconut oil
once applied to the affected area T3 oil should help to clear up the fungus within a few weeks
for the third one I'm going to talk about is iodine iodine is a natural antiseptic that
can help to kill the fungus that is causing that infection to use iodine for toenail fungus simply
apply one drop of iodine or iodine to the affected nail every day well you can get the colorized
iodine if you don't like the color which will not stain in the nail or pop it on iodine which can
stain the nail if you want to go cheap right so in addition to using iodine it's important to keep
your feet dry and let them really breathe as much as possible to prevent the fungus from spreading
with regular treatment the toenail fungus should start to clear up within a few weeks well that's
it you got it all go get rid of that nasty fungus now feel better please have a great day
