Candida Symptoms - Eliminate Them For Good!
By the How to Cure Candida TEAM
HowToCureCandida.com

Candida has become a VERY popular topic within the natural health community and for good reason. As much as 80% of the population has or will have Candida in their lifetime. Of this amount as much as 90% aren't even aware of it!

Don't be one of them, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page after you read this to take the last Candida Questionnaire you'll ever need to take. Determine once and for all if YOU actually have Candida or not!

Candida Symptoms are many and widespread this being due to the full body impact a pathogenic organism can have on the body when left to do damage.

Some of the most popular Candida Symptoms are:

•Arthritis
•Painful Urination or Other Urinary Disorders
•Depression or Mood Swings
•Chronic Rashes
•Chronic Fatigue
•Irritability
•Joint Pain or Swelling
•PMS
•Digestive disorders such as IBS
•Muscle Aches
•Short Attention Span
•Headaches or Constant Migraines
•Acne
•Chronic Respiratory Infections

Sinus Congestion and pain, ADHD, Constipation and the list goes on and on

Candida symptoms don't need to be a part of your life, there are MANY natural therapies you can use to eliminate Candida. However there are few that actually provide long term relief, even fewer that Eliminate Candida Symptoms for good.

Most Natural therapies use a combination of Anti-Fungals, Probiotics and a strict diet to ensure success. This will work to eliminate Candida symptoms for a little while, however as much as 95% of people never experience total relief from all their symptoms by doing this alone. Mostly due to the fact that no one can eliminate their sugar intake for life and eventually when you go back on eating sugar again sooner or later Candida will develop and it's back to square one.

You may wonder if it's even possible at all to have relief for life. The answer is absolutely, but the root cause that is allowing Candida to thrive in your body must be addressed. This requires different cleanses that may not directly kill Candida, but after performed will allow your body to eliminate Candida all on it's own. It is truly the most natural way to eliminate Candida and all its symptoms for life.

You can reduce belly fat with a bowel cleanse. The bowel cleanse is designed to help you get rid of compiled waist that has been sitting in your intestinal track for many years and maybe even most of your life.

DO YOU WANT STRONGER SHOULDERS, BACK AND CORE?

There is nothing more deflating then having your routine go stale and get boring. Sometimes inserting the occasional challenge into your workout can get you back to greater gains and strength.

The Overhead Dumbbell Squat is a great exercise to add to your training routine to strengthen your shoulders, back and core.

It’s a crazy exercise that reminds your body that plateaus are not an option.

HOW YOU DO IT

· Grasp a dumbbell and stand erect, holding it at shoulder height. Place your opposite hand on your hip.

· Place your feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep your abs pulled in tight, chest up and eyes focused forward.

· Inhale deeply and press the dumbbell overhead to full arm extension.




· Holding the weight overhead, perform a squat by bending your knees and hips as if you were sitting in a chair. Keep your torso upright and tight on the descent, with the dumbbell above you at arm’s length.

· When your legs form angles of just less than 90 degrees, extend your knees and hips until you return to the standing position: repeat.

· After performing the designated number of reps, lower the dumbbell to your shoulder and then to the floor. Rest and repeat with the other arm.


TIPS

1. Include the overhead dumbbell squat as part of a back or shoulder workout, either regularly or anytime you want to push the envelope

2. Try the overhead barbell squat for a different feel

3. Don’t have access to a dumbbell; you can use a kettlebell, large can of soup or anything that you can pick up with some weight.

FUNK'S SHOULDER WORKOUT
1. Overhead Dumbbell Squat - 4 sets of 10 reps (each arm)
2. Seated Military Press – 4 sets of 10 reps
3. Funk Crazy 28’s – 3 sets of 28 reps

BURN 2 LBS PER WEEK OR 8-10 LBS IN A MONTH

Fat loss occurs when there is a caloric deficit in relation to calories in vs calories out. Your basal metabolic rate takes in consideration your body functions and how much that burns alone, which on avg is 1200 but this figure depends on a few factors which can differentiate each persons individual BMR. The activity you add to this versus the food intake will overall balance to a surplus or deficit.

For a fat loss you want to see a deficit but within reason. If you do not get in enough calories you then alter the effect and will gain weight due to the result of your metabolism slowing in response to the lack of calories needed.

Eating every 2-3 hours is the basis of this diet which helps keep that metabolism burning your fat stores and not having to concentrate on the food you're taking in.



Lack of activity combined with lack of attention to diet causes your body then ignores fat stores and works on what you are eating, packing the rest of the excess calories away for a rainy day since it feels you are not eating frequently enough. Starvation or limiting meals while drastically lowering your daily calories will sabotage your results slowing the metabolism in turn packing fat.
In other words, do not skip meals!
Your choices for complex carbs should be brown and black rice, tubers such as potatoes and yams as well as grains such as oats and quinoa. ½-3/4 cup with lunch and dinner is optimal. Between lunch and dinner you can have other carb sources such as beans, carrots and squash, or yogurt with fruit.


The fibrous carbs are a must. Dark leafy greens and items such as green beans, asparagus, and broccoli and mustard greens should be eating 2-3 times per day. Breakfast is always easy with choices like egg whites, protein shakes, and oatmeal. Pre and post workout depends on your goals and factor on protein or 50/50 type shakes. I say if you want to burn fat, eat a good meal after your workout, items such as listed above.

A few hours before bed is a great time for a protein powder and water drink to help with muscle recovery. This is not going to cause you any fat gain at all. Lastly you want to ensure you include some Omega fats into the diet in the forms of olives, avocado and the best choice being almonds.

Use this guide to set up a meal plan; here is a sample fat burning meal plan. This will help you with some serious fat loss!!!

Keep it strict and you can expect an average of 2 lbs per week or 8-10lbs in a month.


Breakfast - oatmeal and 3 egg whites with a small banana

Snack 1 - no fat plain yogurt with ¼ cup mixed nuts and berries

Lunch - chicken breast or fish fillet with 2 cups greens and no fat dressing along with ¾ cup brown rice.

Snack 2 - 2 plain rice cakes with a tsp almond butter per pc and ½ cup to a cup chopped broccoli

Dinner - large fish fillet of cod or snapper steamed with 1 cup (measured cooked) mustard greens and spinach plus a small potato or yam


Snack 3 - protein drink

FUNK FITNESS TIP

Cardio + Resistance Training = A Healthier, Stronger, More Muscular You

If your cardio workout overshadows your resistance training, you run the risk of losing muscle tissue. Also, your body may eventually experience exhaustion and develop nutrient deficiencies.

Cardiovascular exercises require a lot of fuel and wears out your body – specifically your joints. You need to ensure that you add resistance training to strengthen muscles, bones and burn fat efficiently.

The average individual needs about 30 minutes a day, three to five days a week.
