Ayurveda provides us with a bio-chemical, bio-energetic and bio-spiritual understanding of food. Ancient texts mention that the Sweet taste helps to invigorate the mind while relieving hunger and thirst. Sugars consumed in the correct amounts work as a tonic as they nourish us. Studies have shown spikes in sugar intake suppresses your immune system. 

 

Ayurveda teaches that anything, even if it is good, that is misused or in excess has a harmful effect. The correct balance of your sugar intake is key. Appropriate amounts of sugar consumption has a direct  correlation with tissues which leads to improvement in the immune system.
