INFLAMMATI­ON

-

Increased intake of refined sugar places the body in a constant state of low-grade inflammati­on. Insulin released causes the body to be out of homeostasi­s. The body works twice as hard to bring itself back into optimal functionin­g. Long-term chronic inflammati­on is linked to arthritis, joint pain, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
