I am going to sign off for Christmas but I want to leave you all with an assignment. Take note of the connection between sugar consumption and sickness. Refined sugar shuts down white blood cell production for up to 5 hours after consumption which is one reason many people get sick in the day or so following big indulgences. It also damages gut flora by feeding the pathogenic bacteria and yeast and damaging the beneficial flora. At least 70% of the immune system is in our gut so this is another way it weakens the immune system and also can cause stomach discomfort. Your assignment is to pay close attention to how these indulgences affect your health. Then after seeing what it does, you can strengthen your resolve to make some healthy changes for 2015!
