   HOW CANDIDA LEADS TO DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ADHD, AND OTHER MENTAL DISORDERS

   If you are depressed while you suffer from regular yeast infections, or   
   athletes foot, or have taken antibiotics recently, there is a connection. Our   
   brains are inextricably tied to our gastrointestinal tract and our mental well   
   being is dependent on    
   healthy intestines. Depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and a host of other   
   mental illness from autism to ADHD can be caused by an imbalance of gut   
   microbes like fungi, and "bad" bacteria.   
      
   Candida is the opportunistic flora that typically takes over our colon with   
   conventional diets. Along with it comes other fungi, harmful bacteria, and   
   parasites. An intestinal system infected with this kind of ecosystem cannot   
   process and assimilate many    
   of the vitamins we need, like B vitamins, which are imperative for brain   
   function and found to be low (especially B6) in virtually anyone experiencing   
   depression. Candida also breaks down the intestinal wall and leeches into the   
   bloodstream, allowing    
   other toxic byproducts to leak from the colon to the bloodstream.   
      
   Much of the body's hormone production occurs in the intestinal tract. 90 to   
   95% of our serotonin, the key neurotransmitter responsible for regulating   
   mood, is produce inside our intestines. When the candida population reaches a   
   certain point, it    
   suppresses the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin. A lack of   
   serotonin leads to depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems.   
      
      
       
   Acetaldehyde, a byproduct of yeast (candida), also reacts with the dopamine   
   neurotransmitter, which can cause mental problems such as anxiety, depression,   
   poor concentration, and feeling spaced-out.   
      
   Candida impairs the liver's ability to store vitamin B12. We don't need much   
   B12, but if we are low, depression and other more serious mental issues well   
   develop quickly.   
      
   The byproducts of candida's metabolism are toxic to us. Candida goes through   
   the bloodstream and finds other areas of the body to make home in, invading   
   everywhere it can and making detoxifying the blood every difficult for the   
   body. The blood becomes    
   sluggish with diminished regenerative capacities, and the body begins to age,   
   ache, and develop allergies and then autoimmune issues, which all lead to and   
   fuel depression.   
      
   It's rare to find a person who suffers from depression and does not suffer   
   from an overgrowth of candida. On the other hand, it's rare to find a person   
   in our modern culture that does not suffer from an overabundance of candida.   
   That said, it's very    
   difficult to improve one's mindset without a healthy mind. And you cannot have   
   a healthy mind without a healthy colon.   
      
   Poor colon health does lead to poor brain health, as well as poor health   
   within the rest of the body. For almost every major disease, both physical and   
   mental, one of the most important things you can do, and the first thing that   
   should be done, is to    
   improve the health of the intestinal tract by killing excess candida and   
   balancing the gut flora. A great way to do this is with thorough   
   detoxification. Also see Natural Remedies for Depression and How to Kill   
   Candida. See the first source for more on    
   detoxifying.

   WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU HIRE A PERSONAL TRAINER   
      
   October 9, 2014 by Tiffany White   
      
       
   Getting into shape is hard. It takes a lot of effort and commitment as well as   
   a lot of knowledge about health and exercise. For these reasons, many people   
   hire personal trainers to keep them on track. If you're thinking about getting   
   a personal trainer    
   to jumpstart your fitness routine, here are some of the things you can expect.   
      
   He/she will ask you a lot of questions.   
      
   The first thing you can expect when you meet with your trainer for your first   
   session is a lot of questions. They'll ask about  your fitness goals like if   
   you want to lose weight, or build muscle, or if you want to have a healthier   
   heart (or all three).    
   Personal trainers need to know a lot about you before they can start to help   
   you reach your fitness targets. Understanding how you want to benefit from   
   hiring them, helps them create a plan that will work for you. Also, as someone   
   who'll be working with    
   you personally on a regular basis, they'll want to get to know you. This is   
   the first step in developing a friendly, professional relationship.   
      
   He/she will test you.   
      
   After getting an idea of who you are and what you want, your trainer will give   
   you a physical fitness test. This can be intimidating. Still, this is an   
   important step. Your trainer needs to know where you are physically so the   
   exercise plan that is    
   developed is appropriate for you. You don't want your coach to tell you to run   
   for 30 minutes when you can only do 15.  And you really want to know your   
   baseline in order to track your progress. The physical fitness test will help   
   you and your trainer    
   come up with realistic short term and long term fitness goals.   
      
   Your trainer has to know about your current health.
