Thrush in men - a disease that is rare, nevertheless, requires effort to get rid of it. Thrush significantly limits the viability of a man and requires treatment. The danger is that you can infect a partner.
In fact, the changes that need to be made to their habitual diet, in order to follow a diet that reduces the manifestation of thrush, is surprisingly small. The principles to be followed to achieve this goal are simple for both understanding and fulfillment.
To optimize power, you need to enter all the changes in the food gradually. You need to eat as much fruit and vegetables as possible. It is worth starting to prepare according to new recipes.

The diet should be enough fiber. Fat products are better to find a replacement.
The main principle remains the gradualness of all changes. To complicate and produce changes need to gradually. Since most of our habits were acquired throughout life, it is impossible to get rid of them immediately. The argument that "love of fat", inherent in our food culture, is explained by the pleasant taste and aroma of fatty dishes. But in fact it is nothing more than a habit. Most of us grew up on fast food, on food, which can be intercepted on the go - chips, fried potatoes, pies, drinks.
Most doctors and researchers agree: if the changes are made gradually, then there are more chances that they will firmly enter the life of a person. In order to start eating healthier foods, you need to gradually introduce a small number of new salads into the diet. It is necessary to add new products to soups, second courses, salads, and even to fried foods. At the same time, the usual dishes and foods can be gradually reduced by the number and frequency of consumption. Within a few months the family will get used to new dishes and products. Once you get used to such a diet, you need to gradually increase the number of such products and the frequency of their use.
