I love the holiday season and all the treats that go with it. I also love feeling great and knowing I’m nourishing my body.
You know that cold and flu “season” that hits after Christmas? That timing is a direct result of the fact that our white blood cells ability to attack invading germs is cut in half whenever we eat refined sugar. On top of that, the sugar directly feeds those invading germs so they can multiply inside of us faster. Finally, sugar creates lasting changes in the bacterial balance in our gut, which impairs immunity. Refined sugar is a one-two-three punch against our immune system.
But there is plenty of good news! Natural sugars in small amounts allow us to satisfy our sweet tooth without sabotaging our health. You do not have to deprive yourself to be healthy!
At Simply Divine Eating we help you make food that tickles your tastebuds and builds your health at the same time. These chocolate recipes let you enjoy the season and honor your body. (Oh, and they taste better than the waxy, GMO and sugar filled, processed stuff you can buy any day.) Fall in love with homemade deep, dark chocolate, Mounds, Reeses and Almond Joys, chocolate covered almonds, strawberries, raisins, chocolate oranges and so much more. Enjoy the sweet part of the season while still feeling great and keeping your immune system in tip-top shape all year long!
Enjoy!
