Once disease process begins, your immune system recognizes that something is wrong and tries to defend body against disease. As with any war, if your immune system has enough "ammunition" to battle disease, your body will return to its original state of health. However, if your immune system does not have ammunition or proper artillery to handle disease, disease begins to get upper hand and your health declines.
You may be asking yourself where glyconutrients play a role in this disease process. As mentioned before, glyconutrients are not prescription drugs. They are naturally occurring sugars and found in certain plants. When you add these sugars to your diet, your cells have necessary components to communicate effectively. It's this very process that allows your body to win war against disease and heal itself. As stated previously, glyconutrients do not cure or treat conditions. Rather, they allow body to "treat" or defend itself against diseases.
For years, doctors believed that when you ate sugars, they were immediately converted to energy. In fact some doctors went as far as saying that eating any dietary supplements (such as vitamins purchased at grocery store) did nothing more for you than make "expensive excrement." As a result, a study was conducted to understand what happened when a person added glyconutrients to their diet to determine whether or not they were converted to energy or absorbed into body. The study showed that body did NOT convert glyconutrients to energy as previously thought. The bottom line is that you can eat glyconutrients and gain significant health benefits.
