He told the students that he had a lot to deal with last semester and encourages the students to continue to go forth and make being at Wesleyan a great experience and to push for what you want and feel to the administration. Following Tony Whites words, the SGA advisor, Erica Braman gave her report and informed the students that her last day at NC Wesleyan will be on Wednesday, Feb. 4, Braman also informed students about “Get On Board Day”. After Erica’s report, organizations were called on to give announcements. Several of them planned activities to commemorate events celebrated during Black History Month. What is Bad About Sugar? By: Khalaf Spencer In “How to Stay Young and Healthy in a Toxic World,” Ann Louise states that sugar is toxic. Sugar has contributed to the rising numbers of heart disease, adult- onset cancer and diabetes, which are the country’s most common diseases and, at an all-time high, obesity affects one in every three people in the United States. The American population is, also, developing an insulin resistance at a rising percentage, which is associated with other problems, such as high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. What can you do about this? The first thing you should do is keep your daily sugar intake below forty grams. Your intake should be less than twenty grams if you are obese, have heart disease, cancer, blood sugar problems or any kind of immune dysfunction. Remove refined white sugar from your diet. You can use small amounts of natural sweeteners as you move away from white sugar to a diet with little concentrated sugar, but be consistent as you steadily decrease your use of sweeteners. Do not use artificial sweeteners. Use the glycemic index, which classifies and organizes carbohydrates by their sugar/blood sugar/insulin interactions. The glycemic index will tell you if you should eat something frequently, moderately or occasionally. Foods high on the glycemic index should be avoided because they are rapid inducers of insulin. Use blood-sugar sustaining nutrients if you have sugar cravings or blood sugar problems. Examples of blood-sugar supporting nutrients are Chromium, B-complex vitamins, and Manganese.
