Merry Christmas friends.... we pray that wherever you are, you are happy and healthy and surrounded by people you love.
And if you are surrounded by those things, there's a good chance that you are also surrounded by a lot of sugar 🍰 today. I personally believe that it's good to indulge from time to time but if you are looking at all of those goodies and desperately hoping that somebody will tell you to step away, here is your post.
We know that Sugar can make kids hyper, adults gain weight, complicate some health conditions, throw diabetes out of control and can have a myriad of other not so healthy benefits. But did you also know that Sugar can temporarily lower your immune system?
Yes. Let me share that again. Sugar can temporarily lower the immune system. This is one reason why we highly recommend getting kids on a good multivitamin, vitamin C and maybe even vitamin D when they go back to school. The foods that they often gravitate to as a quick breakfast or pick me up can be full of sugar. But how often do we consider that we as adults are also lowering our own immune system and now is not the time that we want to do that. We want to be able to visit family and friends. We want to be able to get the kids back outside. We want to be able to go to the gym and be around loved ones. Stepping away from the sugar and making sure that you, as an adult, are also on a strong supplement program, will go a long way.
As you indulge in a little bit more sugar today and throughout the Christmas and holiday season, please make sure that you are increasing vitamin C, vitamin D, regularly taking a good multivitamin and adding other immune enhancing supplements while also eating one less cookie ;)
( We are always happy to share links to our favorite supplements. Just ask!!)
You may have another reason to kick that soda habit for good.
