Effect of eating too much sweets on immunity
- How much sweetness we eat is directly related to our gut health and immunity.
- Eating too much sugar causes an imbalance of the gut microbiome, due to which the balance between good and bad bacteria present in the gut gets disturbed.
- Due to this, the intestinal epithelial layer may become swollen and the problem of a leaky gut may occur.
- A healthy gut is important to keep immunity strong. Immunity starts weakening due to intestinal leakage.
- Even in Ayurveda, there is a direct relationship between the digestive system and immunity.
- Immunity gets affected due to digestive disturbances due to eating too much sugar and infections attack us quickly.
- In Ayurveda, digestive fire is considered essential for the proper digestion of food.
- If this digestive fire is weak, then whatever food we eat becomes difficult to break down and digest.
- Eating too much sweets also affects this fire and due to this digestion and immunity are affected.
