Flu Season: Sugar's Impact on Your Immune System

Did you know that flu season runs between Halloween and New Years?

Why? Because this time period has the biggest sugar, alcohol, and processed food consumption. How does consumption of sugar, alcohol, and processed foods cause the flu? These three categories all cause the body’s calcium level to be lowered. In fact, Harold Lee Snow, MD documented and published an article in 1948 entitled “Refined Sugar: Its Use and Misuse.” He proved with blood tests that eating a four ounce candy bar will lower your calcium level for six days. Calcium functions to control viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Why do you think food manufacturers put calcium chloride in food containers. In addition to lowering your immune system, diets high in refined sugar are linked to reduced hippocampal brain function, which plays a key role in memory formation and learning. High sugar consumption also contributes to mood swings, anxiety, and even depression by disrupting neurotransmitter balance. Further more, sugar triggers inflammation in the brain, which is associated with cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. In general, sugar increases insulin production, which in turn causes systemic inflammation, which is the common denominator for all degenerative diseases.

The take-away message is if you want to decrease your chances of getting the flu, reduce your refined sugar, alcohol, and processed food consumption during the holidays. For those who want to prevent getting the flu, I recommend taking 6 sprays of Vanish-Plus daily. This frequency infused product will boost your immune system so your immune defenses will be able to handle any increase sugar, alcohol or processed foods intake.
