Period 5 Blog 2.2 Sugar and Swine
Most of you seem to get that high glycemic, and processed carbohydrates are bad for you. In the short term they cause crazy energy fluctuations and long term a host of issues like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. This all happens because the body breaks down these foods so rapidly into blood sugar. What happens when you eat straight sugar? I'm talking about all that Halloween candy you are still working your way through?
Research has shown that rapid ingestion of sugar impairs the function of immunity related phagocytes(white-blood cells that fight germs and infection) for up to 5 hours after a sugar binge.
For this weeks blog, I want you to tell me what you can cut out of your diet this flu season to help keep your immune system running at it's best.

ReplyDeleteI could cut out eating sweets, junk food, and drinking lots of sodas. For example, candy, brownies, chips, and coke. Then start eating fruits as snacks and drinking fruit drinks instead like carrot juice.

ReplyDeleteyou could cut off of the sugar and cany for about a month during that time you should eat veggitables, fruits, milk that should be low fat, and also having to exersice for about 30minutes to 1 hour a day or maybe more
I drink a lot of soda so cutting that out would be big, also giving away the remaining candy i have
