For now stay away from fried or fatty foods, too much coffee, tea, pop, chocolate, smoking (if you do) and alcohol.

Sugar and Salt are both extracted by the villi in the large and small intestine. They are small finger shaped cells which are well adapted to absorbing all nutrients required by the body. Salts are sent in the bloodstream to the kidneys where the blood is filtered, and can be stored. Sugar in the blood is converted to glucose and stored as energy in the form of glycogen as what we know as 'fat' in the tissues. Hope this helps!!
