Autoimmunity is a condition that results when our immune system is overactive.  When this happens, our immune system starts to attack healthy tissue resulting in autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes.

Recently, researches have found a new link to the cause of autoimmune disease which we all have been using every day.  SALT!

One step for those that have been already diagnosed with an autoimmune condition is to limit their salt intake.  Don’t forget that processed foods are also loaded with sodium.  Stick to the outer walls of the food stores to be sure to stick away from processed foods!

If you are, this article may make you think twice before you take another sip of soda!  Soda is devoid of any nutrients, you are basically drinking fake sugar water.  Some of the bad side effects of drinking too much soda are memory loss, dramatic increase of fat build up leading to diabetes and/or obesity, accelerated aging and increased risk of cancer.

There are plenty of healthier alternatives to soda.  Try drinking seltzer water instead.  You can even add some fruit to it, like strawberries or blueberries, for that extra natural sugar you are craving.
