Tip of the Day
Are you ready to make your New Year's resolution to get healthier next year?
Given that it's the holiday season and we tend to indulge in sugary treats more than usual, let's try this one resolution: Try to cut down on refined sugar in 2011.
There are connections between sugar and many diseases; sugar increases the risks for depression and diabetes, and contributes to systemic inflammation.
Most of us in the Western world consume way more sugar than is recommended by doctors and dietitians. The hills and valleys of energy and emotion caused by indulging in refined sugar are major contributors to depression.
