Was June really the last time I wrote on this blog? Wow, that's too long! Sorry! I'm reading about Macrobiotics these days and wanted to share with you some of what I'm reading:
Sugar eventually affects every organ in the body.
In digestion, it's stored as a form of glucose (called glycogen) in the liver. However, the liver only has approximately 60 to 80 grams of storage, so its capacity is limited. As a result, daily sugar consumption can make the liver expand much like a balloon.
If the liver is filled, the excess glycogen returns to the blood in the form of fatty acids. These acids are then distributed to the most inactive areas and ore fatty areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and breasts. When these areas become filled, excess then is attracted to active organs such as the heart and kidneys. eventually, this excess diminishes the organs' functioning, and their tissues degenerate and turn to fat.
Naturally, the entire body is influenced by the degeneration. As a result, blood pressure problems develop, circulation and lymph systems weaken, and immunity suffers.
