Period 7 Bolg 2.2 Sugar & 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.

  15. Damn!!!!

    So far on what I'm seeing about sugars, is that it has too many "bad side effects" so I'm actually going to stop eating candies and other sugary stuff, not only to help my immune system but also to help my entire body.
