Although the thought of contracting a parasite is unpleasant, it\u2019s important to be educated about them because they are contracted easier than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the World Health Organization, parasites affect approximately\u00a050 million people worldwide\u00a0per year and 40,000-100,000 people die from them annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Parasites Make Us Sick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Intestinal parasites can work their way into our food by being prepared by someone with poor hygiene (think of restaurants), impure water (traveled abroad lately?), and pets and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once inside our body, parasites live in the digestive system and feed off of poor diet choices, such as too many refined carbohydrates or processed sugar, raw fish, undercooked meat, and improperly washed fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms And Types Of Parasites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of an intestinal parasite may include digestive discomfort such as bloating, cramping, blood or mucous in stools, and diarrhea; allergies; anal itching; anemia; and anxiety or depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human parasites can be categorized into two groups: protozoa and helminthes; and they affect approximately one-sixth of the global population. Some of\u00a0the most common types of parasites\u00a0that humans may contract are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Giardia intestinalis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cryptosporidium parvum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enteromoeba coli<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entomoeba histolyca<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dientomeba fragilis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blastocystishominis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Endolimaxnana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Rid Of Parasites The Natural Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting rid of parasites includes\u00a0mass drug administration and chemotherapeutic arsenal; however, these treatments do not come without challenges and concerns, such as safety and funding issues. Ineffective drug treatment may indicate a resistance to a particular drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best and most natural way to treat human intestinal parasites and prevent them from occurring is by eating foods that improve your digestive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eat Your Way Out of Parasites With These 7 Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following is a list of foods and nutrients that may naturally get rid of those pesky little beasts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sunflower seedscan help flush out parasites by\u00a0preventing successful germination or penetration\u00a0of the parasite to the host system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coconut and onionscontain compounds that\u00a0reduce parasites\u00a0and help promote a healthy weight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Papaya seedshave\u00a0antihelminthic and anti-amoebic activities, meaning that they are very effective in treating human parasites.

These include raw, grass-fed dairy products, kimchi, sauerkraut and fermented vegetables (which have the added benefit of fiber to move parasites along!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve got recipes all over this website that include the above foods.
