And during these uncertain times, it\u2019s tempting to make\nunhealthy eating choices. Nearly 75% of people say they are concerned about\ntheir ability to maintain healthy habits right now, according to a Thrive\nGlobal survey of 5,000 respondents around coronavirus pain points. Whether\nwe\u2019re stress-eating to cope or stocking up on non-perishables, it\u2019s especially\neasy to go overboard on sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2157\" height=\"1157\" data-attachment-id=\"893\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/23\/what-you-may-not-know-about-the-connection-between-sugar-and-immunity\/science_immunity_resilience\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?fit=2157%2C1157&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2157,1157\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Science_immunity_resilience\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?fit=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?fit=1024%2C549&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?fit=1024%2C549&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?w=2157&amp;ssl=1 2157w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?resize=1024%2C549&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?resize=768%2C412&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?resize=1536%2C824&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Science_immunity_resilience.jpg?resize=2048%2C1099&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What many may not realize, though, is that there\u2019s a connection between\nsugar and immunity, and avoiding the sweet stuff can help keep our immune\nresponse stronger. For instance, avoiding sugar can help us reduce chronic\ninflammation, according to a study from the C.D.C. and the Harvard T.H. Chan\nSchool of Public Health. Inflammation contributes to the conditions that put us\nat greater risk for viral infections. And limiting sugar can help us fight off\nobesity, which has been linked to more severe viral infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being mindful of what ends up on our plate has benefits beyond keeping us\nas healthy as possible; it can also give us a sense of agency. After all, so\nmuch of what\u2019s happening right now is out of our hands. It\u2019s deeply empowering\nto focus on the aspects of our immunity and resilience that are within our\ncontrol \u2014 such as prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and, yes, making better\nfood choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to cut back on sugar but aren\u2019t sure where to start, the good\nnews is that you can start small \u2014 smaller than you think \u2014 with science-backed\nMicrosteps.
