A diet which is low in nutrients puts an enormous strain on the liver. The liver is essential for the proper digestion and absorption of life sustaining vitamins and minerals. For optimum health you need your liver to be in peak condition. The liver cannot cope with large amounts of saturated fat and alcohol and this can lead to liver and kidney problems, such as kidney disease and cirrhosis (a life threatening condition where the cells of the liver die).
A diet too high in sugar can lead to too much glucose (a form of sugar carried in the blood stream) circulating throughout your body. Too much glucose in the blood stream indicates development of blood sugar problems such as diabetes mellitus. Its symptoms are feeling thirsty with a frequent need to urinate due to excess glucose, problems with vision, fatigue and recurrent infections.
If diet is poor this can compromise your immune system and make you more susceptible to colds, flue and poor health. We need a steady balanced intake of vitamins and minerals to keep our immune system working properly, to provide protection from infections and diseases.
