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 2024.
There are connections between sugar and many diseases; sugar increases the risks for depression and diabetes, and contributes to systemic inflammation.

One resolution! I know you can do it.
