Carbohydrate Tolerance

We are all different and our tolerance to carbohydrates also differs depending on:

• the quantity of carbohydrates consumed
• the quality of these carbohydrates
• the amount of time we've been consuming these different types of carbohydrates
• the genetic profile of the individual.

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is caused by the overproduction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Normal amounts of ROS are important to protect the body from pathogens, but high amounts of these ROS can lead to damage in healthy cells, leading to chronic diseases.
