@@ Hi Sharona,

Yes, 5-7 days/week workout sessions, is too much for any Candida sufferer, in my

humble opinion.

For Candida sufferers in general, its best to keep your exercise to a minimal

i.e walking, rebounding, yoga, and tai chi. Especially, if one is very weak and

sick or if not, one could slow down or halt their healing process. Since too

much exercise in this weakened state can steal the body's energy to heal.

However,if one's Candida is not too severe, one can get away with some short

sessions of moderate exercise. Though, if one feels weak on certain day/s, then

one should not exercise whatsoever. Since the body will need all its energy for

detoxing or healing during those times. Remember, exercise detoxes and

mobilizes toxins in the body.

Therefore, one day you may have lots of energy for exercise and the next maybe

not so much.

So take that into consideration if you do a moderate exercise routine.

Sharona, I too, use to do workouts of 1 - 1 1/2 hours per workout years ago,

however, I have learned over the years through research and experience this is

for most people, unnecessary and unwise. Thus, I keep my workout sessions short

with quality effort. The idea, is quality NOT quantity for best results!

Long workouts are really only meant for competitive athletes i.e professional

bodybuilders or the Olympics. And even still, lengthy workouts aren't continued

long term.

Workouts should range approx. between 30-45 minutes with rest periods.

The workouts should consist 2-4 quality workout days/week with weights and

alternate days are low impact cardio i.e stationary bike, inclined walking(not

running), or swimming 15-20 minutes/ cardio workout.

A 3-5 minute light warm-up is sufficient before the workout. More than this is

not necessary nor wise. Otherwise, one risks burning out before their workout

is complete. Moreover, one also risks great injury. I've seen people who have

performed 10-20 min cardio, warm-up sessions before their weights, only to be

injured/crushed under a weight due to the lost energy from their warm-up. Which

resulted in premature fatigue. Long warm-up sessions are ill advice from naive

fitness trainers/instructors. Stay away from these guys!

Cardio is overdone & over emphasized. People, don't realize they are

getting cardio benefits from the weight-training as well as muscular

development. Too much cardio can also steal from your muscle development and

also makes one more susceptible to injuries. And one definitely, rarely loses

any weight. Sadly, many in the gyms, like to believe otherwise.

Basically, more is not better.

Lastly, with Candida, if one exercises moderately its best to workout with the

weights 2 alternate days a week for no more than 20-30 minutes/workout. The

low impact cardio, I mentioned, can be done a couple off days 15-20

minutes/workout. As a reminder, pay attention to your energy levels each day

and back off and rest when common sense calls upon.

This concept of training is conducive to healing. Furthermore, it is also

balanced & flexible allowing the athlete whom wishes to continue exercise for

mental harmony and fitness during the healing process.

Once you've healed your Candida issue, you may increase your workout sessions

with weights to 4 days/week if you desire.

+++Hi Sharona,

It is totally false that you gain weight by burning less calories. Weight

issues aren't about calorie intake at all. In fact you can intake very high

calories like on this diet yet not gain any weight. It is about the " kinds of

calories. " as Taube writes in his book Good Calories, Bad Calories - see

my Weight Lose Article to understand more:

+++I do not agree with about the full moon. Your body increases

detoxification which increases eczema when it is ready or able to, and not

because of the Moon. But of course it is mind over matter, so what you believe

is true can actually happen.
