SUGAR
September is a great time to start afresh and begin a new healthy regime.
Could this September be the time you really smash through it?
If you had to pick a
public health enemy number one, you could make a very strong case against sugar.
The sweet stuff is:
Bad for your health
Bad for your body
Bad for your skin
Bad for your brain
It’s everywhere.
The case against sugar
Sugar’s been implicated in everything from chronic, life-threatening health issues - such as diabetes and heart disease to skin/digestive/addiction/ problems to weight gain.
When you eat
sugar, your blood glucose levels spike, which results in a burst of energy - followed by a quick crash.
But what actually happens when you eat sugar or foods containing sugar derivatives?
When you start your day with sugar (like cereal), your blood sugar goes up and down all day, you experience energy bursts then energy crashes.
Should you try and feed your fatigue with more sugar—which you may have noticed does not work—the vicious cycle
makes you feel run down, moody, boated and cranky.
PLUS..... and here is the big one.
Sugar is extremely inflammatory in the body It triggers the immune system.
And chronic inflammation is believed to be the basis of pretty much all disease. Inflammation effects the body and the brain.
Who should cut out sugar?
Given the effect of sugar on everyone’s blood sugar levels and the breadth of
illnesses it may trigger, everyone should consider kicking sugar out.
Why don’t you try eliminating certain foods?
Try cutting out obvious sugar sources, but it also includes surprising sugar bombs, like most yogurts, fruit juices and fruit.
To help you get through, replace sugar with healthy fats.
Be prepared
You WILL feel like rubbish for a couple of days and it can be rough.
You don’t realise
the power sugar has over you until you make a big effort to stop eating it.
You get achy. You get irritable.
The more addicted to sugar you are, the worse those three days will be
But HANG ON……
The heavens open after a sugar detox
YOU feel ridiculously good when the sugar fog lifts.
Why?
Sugar is driving your fatigue, your mood swings, your inflammation, digestive issues, skin problems, headaches and a multitude of all kinds
of symptoms, and as soon as you delete it you start to feel better.
Cleaner and Clearer.
The cool thing about giving up sugar is that its effects are obvious and long-lasting.
It’s an eye-opening experience.
So many things you’re experiencing are because of
sugar.
