Aparently after you consume a certain amount of sugar, it pretty much makes your macrophages (VERY important to the immune system) completely halt under a certain ammount of sugar (For 6 hours).
Sugar has many negative side effects. It depletes calcium from your bones, feeds the bad bacteria in your gut, and a bunch of other crap.
I have a question im hoping someone can answer. In the winter time I get a million colds, which effects my progress in the gym. I know theres TONS of things like ecinecea etc that help your colds, a good multivitamin, etc. but I don't like taking alot of pills. Plus they can get expensive. So heres my question.
Is there a carb that I can have before a workout and after a workout, that won't kill my immune system, but still give me results at the gym?
So far here are my thaughts.
Carrot juice
grapes (high GI)
Grade C maple syrup
Dates
Whats your opinion on this subject?
And is it still believed that it's not really the KIND of carbs you have, but the ammount? If thats the case I could just eat some complex carbs and not worry, but from what I've gather, you want a HUGE insulin surge before and after a workout.
