Consuming sugar in high amount can be dangerous for our health because it can cause obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart problems, and even cancer.
People are consuming processed foods more and more these days, and they are full with sugar. Companies that make food have replaced fat with sugar in almost every product, and sugar is proven to be the trigger to many diseases, as opposed to fat.
You can prevent and reverse the side-effects of sugar. If you lower your admission of sugar, you will see results immediately. Following a strict diet pattern will take time for you to see the results, but cutting back sugar will give you immediate results.
There was a study that targeted children, which showed amazing improvements in less than two weeks.
THE STUDY
The study found that all the children who took part in the study had lower risk in the end at developing type 2 diabetes. Also, their LDL cholesterol was lowered by 5 points, as well as the triglyceride levels by 33 points. The same outcomes were seen in adults.
GOOD TO KNOW
You should know that not all calories are the same. For example, 100kcal of sugar is not the same as 100kcal of spinach. Many food manufacturers advertise their products to be ‘’low in calories’’, and we are tricked into believing that those products are a healthy option.
Instead of counting the calories we should try to be mindful of the ingredients we consume. You can also find a ‘’fat-free sugar’’, which is a total trick because sugar by its own doesn’t contain fat.
Experts recommend that we consume on average 200kcal per day. Our diet needs to be filled with sugar that is found in natural products and not processed foods with added sugar.
It is really tricky to stay away from all that added sugar since every product contains it. Added sugar can also come in the form of fructose and glucose syrups, high fructose corn syrup, beet and cane sugar, dextrose, dextrin, maltose, sucrose, maltodextrin, and many others.
The only way to prevent consuming added sugar is by buying more natural, organic, and whole foods, instead of processed foods.
HOW TO QUIT AND DETOX FROM SUGAR
Sugar can cause the same addiction in your brain as drugs because it reaches and makes reaction in the same centers in your brain as drugs.
You may have not realized the power that sugar has over you, but the sooner you start to avoid it, the better.
