Hi there, Eric Bakker from New Zealand, coming all the way back to you again here in the
northern hemisphere.
Take care this winter.
It's gonna be a cold winter with crappy weather.
So be sure that you keep your neck warm, your back, your kidneys warm.
Wear some nice warm socks.
This winter in New Zealand we had some very cool spells and I was quite fortunate that
my wife does a lot of knitting.
I had some beautiful woolen socks to wear and it makes such a difference if your feet
are warm and your head's warm, your bodies warm.
Okay, 40% of the heat loss is through your head.
So keep your head warm, stay cozy, watch drafts, don't drink beer and you'll feel good this
winter.
Right, we're gonna talk now about some of the foods that you really want to avoid with
a candida cleanse.
Now I've done similar videos like this before.
This one's going to be a little bit more comprehensive and I'm gonna summarize a whole lot of different
points I've spoken about in previous videos.
So we all know the big demon of the gut, not just in terms of candida, but it's sugar.
I'm stunned to see how much high fructose corn syrup is consumed in North America.
It's truly staggering how many millions and millions of gallons of this crap's consumed
all the time.
So if you eat like I do, you're not gonna eat any of this stuff, because they don't
usually poor, I mean plants don't usually take up high fructose corn syrup as part of
their food.
No one's gonna poor it on the ground to feed broccoli, so if you eat fresh stuff, you're
not gonna get this crap in your diet.
The less you buy from the supermarket, the better.
The only thing you want to buy from the supermarket is toilet paper and maybe some, I don't know
what else you buy in there, but probably not much, maybe a newspaper or something, but
you wouldn't want to buy much else from that place.
So sugars is a given.
We know that, but be careful, because sugars are packaged in so many different foods.
So every time you eat a processed food there could be sugar in it, even without you knowing
about that, but as I say, if it tastes good, it's probably got sugar in it.
Sugar can become a very powerful addiction for many people.
Try and have your addiction, like mine, have like a berry addiction, or have like a garlic
addiction, or a broccoli addiction.
When you love something, you're gonna eat a lot of it, which means it's gonna be beneficial
for you.
When you don't like something, it means you're gonna avoid it.
Now your taste buds and your whole gut will shape according to what you eat.
If you drink alcohol every day, if you eat crappy food every day, slowly over a period
of many, many weeks, months, and years, your taste buds will change, your enzyme output
will change in your gut.
Your bacteria in your digestive track will change.
That's gonna influence your mood, you're thinking, your energy, everything will be influenced
by your bacteria and your bacteria are shaped by what you eat.
As I've said before, if you eat crap, you'll feel like crap and look like crap.
If you eat good food, you'll feel good and look good, it's common sense to me.
It might not be to some people.
So candy, ice cream, soda drinks, anything that's very sweat in the mouth, it's a big,
big no, no, but this is not just for candida folks, this is for overall good health and
well being.
So this is just common sense.
Fruits are fine for most people, but not those with active candida [inaudible 00:03:32].
They need to avoid highly sweet fruits.
Is avocado sweet, not really.
Then why do people like it.
Many people love the taste of avocado even though it's not sweet.
It just goes to show something doesn't have to be super sweet for you to like it.
I bet you there's a food right now that you really enjoy eating that's not full of sugar.
Try and look for other foods, either in that category or similar to that and expand on
that liking of that particular food item and that's a really good step in the right direction
for you.
Alcohol is one of the biggest no, no's when it comes to the candida diet.
So this is one beverage you want to avoid for quite a while.
Most people who avoid alcohol for a prolonged period of time tell me they don't miss it,
they don't want it in their life anymore and they found that they're saving themselves,
not just a lot of money, but they're just feeling so much better.
So this is a really big important point I want you to take on board, is to cut alcohol
out of your diet for at least three to six months, all forms of alcohol.
Now we're not talking herbal medicines here.
Many people tell me they get worried, they might be taking Swedish bitters or a herb
form their herbalist that might contain some alcohol in it.
Well you're not gonna be taking like nine shots of Saint Mary's Thistle are you?
You know like Whiskey.
You're gonna only take a small amount of this every day, maybe once or twice a day, so don't
worry about the alcohol content of herbal medicines.
It's not usually a problem unless you're and alcoholic like my stepfather, you'd probably
drink the whole lot.
Grains.
Grains are not the best for many people with a dodgy digestive tract, especially wheat,
barley, and rye.
I find oats to be acceptable for most people.
Now many people will yell at me and scream at me and say, you're wrong, you're wrong,
they're full of gluten and alls, but they're not.
The gluten content of oats is so minuscule, you'd have to be a pretty bad celiac to really
react to the gluten in this particular grain.
Oat's make a supremely good breakfast.
They're very, very good for your digestive tract for so many reasons.
So, yeah, think about that.
You may well be able to tolerate oats, so don't just miss out.
One of the most frequently asked questions on this YouTube channel is can I eat oats.
If I had a dollar of every time, I saw that question, I'd probably be driving a reasonably
crappy car, but I'd be driving a car, you know.
That's how many times I get asked that question.
Peanuts.
Get rid of them.
They're crap.
They fatten pigs up.
They're good for fattening animals up, but they're not good for you, cause you'll get
a fat body out of them.
I'll tell you now, they're fattening.
They smell good, they look good, and they taste good, but they're not good to eat.
They're a bad food.
They're not a nut, they're a legume, they grow underground.
They've got a high potential to contain a toxin, aflatoxin, and this can make your liver
pretty sick.
I've mentioned this before in a previous video.
More people die globally of liver toxicity from peanuts than they do from alcohol, fact.
All right.
Peanuts when not good, can make your liver very, very sick, very sick indeed.
I just find it a crappy food.
It's just full of fat and often it's rancid fat too.
Peanuts get recalled quite often from supermarkets so don't eat 'em.
Eat tahini instead.
Watch out for the allergy foods, alright.
So what are the top allergy foods in most peoples diets.
Dairy products, cows milk, cheese, cream, ice cream.
Let's look at some other key allergy foods, oranges, different types of citrus, lemon
generally okay, mandarins, tangelos, oranges, get rid of them.
Pineapples and bananas have a high potential for allergy for many people, especially post
antibiotic.
Be careful of of pineapple and bananas.
Bananas are a great food when you got a good gut like me, but they're no good if you've
got these dodgy.
So if you've got bloating or gas don't eat bananas.
The more bloating and gas you've got the less fruit you should be eating and the more of
the anti candida kind of broths and salads, which I've spoken about previously, you want
to be focusing on those.
So just be careful.
There are a lot of allergy potential foods.
Chocolate is another one.
Dairy is a big, big category I'd like you to avoid when you're on the candida cleanse,
initially.
Eventually down the track you may be able to incorporate more into your diet.
So think about that.
When you're cutting these foods out of your diet you're also shaping the way that your
stomach and pancreas and small bowel function.
You're also gonna change the enzyme levels and that's why it's good to take a good support
product with good bacteria and good enzymes in it.
That's why I created CanXida Restore, the product with the green label, 'cause you've
got several enzymes in there that help to facilitate the breakdown of your new diet.
That's gonna assist you and minimize bloating and gas.
There's several probiotics in there.
They're gonna assist repopulating that gut with that new found diet that you've put in
place.
So you're eating foods with a high prebiotic potential.
They're going in the gut, and you break down more easily under the influence of CanXida
Restore and then the bugs in there are gonna help create a pH shift.
You're gonna get your bacteria to grow back a lot faster.
So we're getting really good feed back form CanXida Restore and it's one that you might
want to incorporate when you're doing this kind of changes in your diet.
Most of the candida diet is common sense, but be careful of that you're addicted to,
and hooked to, 'cause those are the once that have created the most problem.
It's like being in a dysfunctional relationship.
It's hard to say no.
You just want to be with that person even though you know it's toxic.
You just want to be with that person, but you've gotta get, chuff.
You gotta chop it.
Chop it in half and just get rid of this person.
You gotta make a clean break and some people are like this with foods.
They're gonna make clean break from that chocolate bar, or clean break from that bottle of beer
and it's painful to do it initially, but once a bit of time passes, it's easier and easier
and you'll look back and you'll think, I was stupid.
Why did I even do that, because you're feeling so much better.
Give it a try.
Thanks for tuning in.
