The only part of our body that enjoys sugar is our tongue, but the rest of our body resists sugar (it causes inflammation).
The cold and flu bugs often going around right are virulent and causing some nasty health issues, especially for the immune compromised. A strong immunity will make a big difference in how we react to the viruses and infections that are running rampant. Our health begins with nutrition and everything we eat either helps or hurts our immunity.
In Dr. Nancy Appleton’s book Lick the Sugar Habit, she explains that sugar is a major contributor to the disease process as it weakens our defenses against illness. However, because of the strong addictive nature of sugar, withdrawal may likely bring on the shakes, depression, headaches and even a fever if one tries cutting it out cold turkey.
There are several sweet natural alternatives to refined sugar that won’t have the same negative effect on the immune system. These include honey, real maple syrup, agave, monk fruit, dates, and several others. The natural sugars will satiate your sweet tooth while being healthier on your body. Ultimately it is best to ween ourselves away from a dependency on sweet food, and including fruit in our diet will help with the sugar craving.
