2 Hard Hitting Facts

Did you or someone you know suffer from the fly or had a cold over the Holiday Season? Are you wondering if it's going to catch up to you? What about your children or the elderly? What can you do to help protect yourself?

Oh, there are so many questions surrounding the "season" many refer to as Cold and Flu, and rightfully so. It can be worrisome especially when it involves children or the elderly.

Let's take a moment and think differently. Move outside of the box with me as I present an underlying reason as to why this "season" happens in the first place.

1) Your body doesn't have an immune system, it is an immune system.

2) Sugar goes to work destroying the immune system almost instantly. Its effects can last from hours to days to weeks.

3 Connections

We often see the Cold and Flu season towards the end of the year and through the beginning of the next. Why is that? I'm sure some of you have guessed it, but I'll give you a hint. It starts with an "s".

That's right. Sugar.

Sugar Season, as I like to call it, begins around Halloween and continues well after Valentine's Day. I'm sure if I spent some time I could find wonderful pictographs on the increase of sugar consumption from Halloween through Easter. But, instead, I think we can use what God gave us and look around at the increase of sugar and sugar-like products and marketing. Did you know ingesting sugar today will suppress your immune system for days. This weakening of the immune system causes several cascades of events. I've listed a few below, but check out 146 Reasons Sugar Ruins Your Health by Nancy Appleton (https://nancyappleton.com/141-reasons-sugar-ruins-your-health/):

- Sugar is food for pathogens such as viruses, bateria, and parasites

-Sugar causes inflammation

-Sugar depletes the body of vital nutrients needed to support the immune system

-Sugar bogs down your liver and your brain

To help support the immune system I recommend staying off sugar, sugar-like products and derivatives, and carb heavy meals as carbs turn to sugar. Eat a diet rich in good healthy fats, animal proteins, and seasonal vegetables. Get out in the sun in the mornings or evenings to support Vitamin D conversion and the mitochondria. Sweat! Allow the body to detox. Drink plenty of water. I always recommend distilled. Rest as it is important to allow the body the time it needs to heal. Further support the body with whole food supplements. I recommend our Cold and Flu Kit.

1. Sugar yesterday, today, and tomorrow

will affect the body far into the future as continuously consuming this white poison has future toxic effects.

2. Sugar consumption and high carb diets

affect connective tissues and joints causing inflammation and ramping up the pain cycle. This can have an effect on numerous areas of the body from the cardiovascular system to holding your adjustments.

3. There are 168 days from Halloween 2022 to Easter 2023

That is almost six months of an increase in marketed sugar products.

Your health is a high priority!
