In Hong Kong's humid climate, mold and fungi don't just appear in corners and on food; they can also quietly invade your body, affecting your immunity, causing chronic diseases, and even leading to cancer. You might think it's just from eating moldy peanuts or coffee beans? Actually, the problem may be deeper—an imbalance of microorganisms in your gut.

🦠 Sources of mold and fungi: Not just food
While most people wouldn't eat moldy bread, the following foods are often overlooked:
• Moldy peanuts, corn, rice, dried fruit, and coffee beans
• Processed foods containing high-fructose corn syrup
• Sugary and starchy foods (fungi love sugar!).
Mycotoxins in these foods can damage the liver and even cause cancer.
🧬 Why do fungi grow on the body?
Molds, fungi, and yeasts naturally exist in the human body, but under normal circumstances, they are "controlled" by beneficial bacteria in the gut. When you:
• Use antibiotics (to kill bacteria but not fungi).
• Long-term use of steroids (such as Prednisone )
• Experiencing significant stress (such as heartbreak or bereavement).
• Excessive iron intake or alcohol consumption
• Body pH level is too high (alkaline).
These factors can disrupt the gut microbiota, leading to uncontrolled fungal growth and resulting in:
• Chronic sinusitis
• Nail fungal infection
• white membrane of the tongue
• Skin rash
• A strong craving for sweets
🛡 How does mold "outsmart" your immune system?
Mold can block your vitamin D receptors, preventing your immune system from functioning properly. This "biological intelligence" allows them to take root in your body and become difficult to eliminate.
💊 Detoxification and Repair Methods (For Hong Kong Residents)
To combat fungi, start by repairing your gut and immune system:
Supplementing nutrients:
• Vitamin D (in combination with magnesium, potassium , and zinc)
• Zinc (helps the thymus produce T cells)
• Selenium (enhances resistance to infection)
Detoxifying weapon:
• Activated carbon and bentonite (for adsorbing toxins)
• Chlorophyll (neutralizes mycotoxins)
• Cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli) contain sulfides.
• NAC (helps the liver detoxify)
Dietary recommendations:
• Dark roast coffee (lower mold content)
• Organic dairy products, grass-fed meat
• Propolis (natural antifungal, immunomodulator)
• Coconut MCT oil (contains lauric acid, which has antibacterial properties)
• Fermented foods such as kimchi and Korean kimchi (replenish beneficial bacteria)
🧠 Mold is not just a skin condition; it can be a "silent killer" of your health.
Hong Kong people lead fast-paced, high-stress lives and often rely on processed foods and medications, neglecting the balance of their gut microbiota. Once the gut microbiota gets out of control, a variety of health problems follow.
The next time you feel tired, have itchy skin, or experience oral discomfort, you might want to consider: could it be caused by fungus?
