One More Thing About The Common Cold/Sinuses...

I will say that when a cold or sinus problems hit me, it is very hard hitting and awful to deal with. This is the only one I have had since keto WOE. And I can actually deal with this one. My stuffiness isn't as bad and sore throat wasn't either. Does this way of eating affect those kinds of things? The severity of certain illnesses and sicknesses.

Thanks.

    I found that it has for me. Duration and severity of illness drug in by my little petri dishes is drastically decreased and has been since I started the WOE.

    Just wondering why that is. I like the science of things especially defeating the common cold. Are cells able to repair quicker or am I close?

    Sugar, wheat ,and other inflammatory foods are already taking up the "body's defensive" reactions...so when we reduce those things in our diet, there are more "soldiers" ready to fight the battle of any invading germs... That's at least a component of the issue.

    When my family gave up eating wheat and milk years ago, we all experienced clearer sinuses. My daughter no longer needed to use her inhaler for asthma. I myself have not had a cold or flu since eating lower carb.
