What does sugar have to do with my immunity?

No sugar-coating the facts; there's 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 sweet about immune suppression!⁠

Giving your immune system a little love and support is vital for long-term health, but it's especially crucial during the winter when colds can strike with greater frequency.

The good news? There's so much you can do about it!

While many factors affect the strength of your immune system, avoiding refined sugars is one that's in your control.

⁠

To optimize your immune system, it's essential to start by avoiding ANY immune suppressors like refined sugars.⁠

Candy , soda, juice, alcohol , and desserts seem like an obvious place to find refined sugars; however, they're also hidden inside of most processed foods!
