Four Nutrients Your Body Needs When Eating Too Much Sugar

Hello my dear friend,

I came across this information from Autumn Smith that I would like to share with you. These are 4 nutrients that your body needs when you are eating more sugar. Excess sugar will deplete your body of key nutrients it needs for energy, immune support and resilience.

1- B Vitamins

B vitamins play a part in converting sugar into energy. So if you eat more sugar you need more B vitamins to convert that sugar into energy.

2- Electrolytes

Too much sugar will disrupt your body’s electrolyte balance which causes you to lose essential minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium. These minerals are vital for immune support, energy, and cellular health.

3- Omega-3s

Too much sugar reduces the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids, which support your brain function, mood and manage inflammation.

4- Vitamin C

Insulin is responsible for transporting both sugar and vitamin C into your cells. When both are present they compete for the same spot. Unfortunately, sugar usually wins. Vitamin C being a water soluble vitamin is then excreted before it is even used. Vitamin C plays a big role in immune function, tissue healing and repair, collagen formation and more. The type of vitamin C you choose to use is a different email.

Love, joy and gratitude,
