SUGAR - Oh let's Count the ways #2

So you have heard it said...sugar is bad for you!!
While I totally agree and have seen some of the damage it can cause in my own health...let's examine some ways it can ruin your health! 


 
 
#2 - SUGAR can SUPPRESS, the Immune System!  HOW???
 
We have heard that Sugar promotes inflammation.
 Is that a bad thing? Well...
Inflammation, which is part of the immune response, is not always a bad thing.
 But eating sugary foods can promote an overabundant
 inappropriate inflammation response that serves
 NO USEFUL PURPOSE.
AND sugar may actually promote aging
and sometimes disease.
 
Sugar suppresses the release of human growth hormone. 
Although the effects can be dramatic, hormone treatments are expensive and risky.
So I don’t personally want to have to resort to
Hormone Treatments to look younger!
 BUT to slow down the aging process,
you can definitely do what you can
 to protect and naturally enhance your body’s production of human growth hormone.

 Avoiding foods that are high in sugar !
Exercising, healthy eating, and
 avoiding undue stress also help.

.
Sugar raises insulin levels and promotes glycation
An influx of sugar into your body will have a fairly predictable result:

Your blood sugar levels will zoom up.

Shortly after, your pancreas will release a bunch of insulin.
 This helps to clear the sugar and try to use it for energy .
But when you eat a lot of sugar, you’re constantly calling for insulin, and that can backfire in a couple of ways. Ever hear of insulin dependent Diabetes?

Read Labels...avoid the HIGH sugar content treats! 
Do you have a difficult time doing that...call me!

  1. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all carried with us the belief that anything is possible? Our world would be so much different if we each adopted the perception that "I am capable". Instead, too many of us refuse to even try. We are stifled by doubt and paralyzed by our fear. There is a tendency
