Did you know? Too much sugar in your diet can increase joint pain and inflammation?

Posted on September 19, 2012 by Chiropractor

There is a direct connection between sugar, inflammation and joint pain. Inflammation is the immune system’s healthy response to restore an area of the body after an injury, irritation or infection. However, in response to high sugar intake, which includes simple carbohydrates, the body is flooded with insulin and stress hormones. These inundate your blood supply triggering the inflammation process which creates stress and pain on your organs and joints.

A healthy diet already contains a significant amount of naturally occurring sugar (in fruits and grains, for example). The problem is that we’re chronically consuming much more added sugar in processed food and sugary drinks.

JUST LOOK AT HOW MUCH SUGAR THESE POPULAR DRINKS CONTAIN!!!

The less sugar you eat, the less inflammation you will experience, and the stronger your immune system will be.
