This is such a busy time of year with all the Christmas parties starting up.  Many people will be eating too much rich food and too many desserts.  They might even look into colon cleansing products to cleanse themselves from the effects of holiday food.

I try to eat holiday goodies in moderation, exercise a little (although it’s hard with a hectic schedule), and take my vitamins and supplements.  Recently, I read that a doctor believed the increase in colds and sickness this time of year could be partly attributed to the increase in the amount of sugar eaten during the holidays.  I wouldn’t doubt that at all!  Many different sources substantiate that fact…just do a little research.  Sugar is known for weakening the body’s immune system.  So, if you’re wanting to lessen your chances of getting sick then limiting sugar intake is a great way to strengthen your immune system.
