Why Yeast Infection Occurs
The pH balance in our body is the key indicator of any disease or illness, in particular, yeast infection. Our diet plays an important role in maintaining this balance. Our body has a healthy pH of 6.4 (measuring urine or saliva). Yeast infection is prevalent in our body at all times. Our body regulates the acidity balance in the body and if this occurs outside the norm it helps its growth.
Your pH reading does vary slightly throughout the day but should average 6.4. What causes these unbalanced pH readings in the body? Birth control pills, injury, antibiotics and overweight all changes the pH level in the body. Stress and fatigue are the biggest reason for the unbalance pH readings in the body. Do you know that blood pH is higher than that of the body?
