9:00 am – 11:00 am Repel Chronic Diseases By Defying The Sugar Emperor
The “other” pandemic that was here decades before Covid-19 hasn’t left or reduced its morbidity. Chronic diseases like, heart failure, strokes, kidney disease and diabetes exist because of the over consumption of sugar, which I call, The Sugar Emperor, which is the agent behind millions of Americans and citizens worldwide having preventable illnesses and deaths at a pandemic level. We have been the willing and somewhat unknowingly culprits of our own demise due to our conscious and unconscious additions to sugar. However, there may still be opportunity to save our lives, our families and the generations, yet unborn, that will follow us, by adopting a health-based meal plan and exercise.
