Age Slower, Lessen Your Inflammation & Boost Your Immune System with Polyssacharides | Dr. John Lewis @ Dr. Lewis Nutrition

Contrary to popular belief, not all sugars are harmful to your health. Polysaccharides, a type of complex carbohydrate, highlight how certain sugars can be beneficial.

Found in foods such as whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, these long-chain carbohydrates play essential roles in maintaining good health and strengthening the immune system. Join us in today's episode on polysaccharides with Dr. John E. Lewis, where we explore the subject of sugars, anti-nutrients, misconceptions, and more.
