by nutritional weight and wellness you know already this is December 15th only 10 days

So my guess is that some of you are into a little sugar shock.

Okay, even at my nutrition board meeting last Tuesday,

someone was passing out small bags of homemade carmels as just a small treat for everyone.

You know, honestly, at one time in my life, I would have eaten each and every one of those

because carmels, and don't tell anyone, used to be a favorite.

Mine too.

But I think I finally have grown up, or I might ask myself, did I grow up because I realize that consuming all that sugar

would set up an inflammation response in my body and frankly I don't want to move like an old lady

so I decided the Carmel's would not be a real treat in fact it would trick my body into being the age I really am,

but I don't want to believe it or I don't want to feel it.

So I said no to the candy.

You know, I know as a nutritionist, sugar contributes to cell damage and inflammation.

I think I'd like to say that.
