Halloween this year may look a little different than most, however we know that candy and sugar is still going to be part of it. It is so important to remember that sugar (not just on Halloween) shuts down your immune system. Did you know that after eating less than 3 candy bars your immune system can be compromised for up to 5 hours!!! That is leaving your body, your castle, unattended for 5 hours. Lots of germs can sneak in in 5 hours!! And I don’t know about you, but protecting our immune system is super important to me, especially during these times.
It is no coincidence that flu season is between Halloween and Easter! Think about all the sugar that is being consumed in so many different ways during these months!! I am not saying not to enjoy your treats, I am just reminding you of the impact it can have on your body! Let’s do our best this year to find a good balance!
I will have my 2 peanut butter cups and enjoy every second of them!!! #myweakness
What is your Halloween achilles?
Happy Halloween friends!
