Fatigue & Candida© Copyright Bee Wilder Fatigue is an extremely common symptom most candida sufferers experience, particularly when they first start on the diet. This is because of the following circumstances:
How Candida Toxins Interfere with Energy & MetabolismThe main regulator of energy production and metabolism (see definition below) in the body are hormones produced by the endocrine system. The endocrine system consists of a group of specialized organs and body tissues, including:
The entire endocrine system is involved in producing, storing, and secreting hormones. Hormones are the body's chemical messengers, which transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another. Endocrine organs have a great deal of influence over the body because of the hormones they produce. The following functions are among their many jobs:
However, candida toxins interfere with the normal functioning of all organs in the body, including the endocrine system. Candida toxins also interfere with hormones getting into the cells where they are needed to maintain energy levels and metabolism. For more information about the effects candida toxins have on the cells see Candida Causes Cell Membrane Defects. Definition: "Metabolism" is an overall term for the chemical reactions by which the cells transform energy, maintain their identity, and reproduce. All life forms–from single-celled algae to mammals–are dependent upon many hundreds of simultaneous and precisely regulated metabolic reactions to support them. Each of these reactions is triggered, controlled, and terminated by specific cell enzymes, and each reaction is coordinated with numerous other reactions throughout the organism. |
