Candia is an over-infestation of yeast in your body. You’re probably familiar with yeast as an ingredient in bread, beer, and other fermented foods. Yeasts are what make champagne fizzy and bread rise. We’re used to using certain yeasts in our food, but many of us don’t realize that yeasts are actually everywhere!

 

They’re in the air, in the water, and on the surface of just about every living thing. We breathe, eat, and drink them on a daily basis. Because they are part of our daily lives, we all have yeast growing in our skin, in our mouths, on other body surfaces, and in our gut. Though yeasts normally reside in your body in small quantities, they can become dangerous if they become too numerous.
