You may have already given up many bad habits – smoking, unhealthy relationships, passion for coffee or shopping. But quitting sugar has proven to be the hardest thing to do.
What do scientists say about this? It turns out that excess sugar affects both physical and mental abilities. Gut balance can be seriously affected by excessive sugar intake, and this makes you susceptible to autoimmune diseases, ulcerative colitis, and, of course, diabetes.
It is very difficult to overcome the habit of eating sweets, because we are biologically “addicted” to it. But it can be done. You just need to be firm and not give in to temptation. But, having conquered oneself, life will open in new unexpected and delightful perspectives.
A sweet lover, like a drug addict, is waiting for a piece of cake in order to get a feeling of happiness and make it easier for himself to do any work. Freed from this desire, you will become a stable and balanced person who can focus on work without resorting to doping.
Sugar, like cigarettes, greatly reduces the susceptibility of taste buds. People who are addicted to sweets often say they don’t like the taste of vegetables or whole grains. If you give up the bad habit, after a while you will be able to enjoy these dishes. The flavors of natural food will open up and your relationship with food will become healthier.
Excess sugar clouds the brain and makes you feel chronically tired. The body is constantly reworking to maintain its own balance.
Having removed the veil of dependence, you will see how your feelings will become aggravated, how pleasant and detailed the sensations will become. Even breathing will become easier than in previous years.
There is evidence that high blood sugar and reduced fat intake are associated with memory problems, up to and including Alzheimer’s disease.
By reducing the amount of sugar in your diet, you begin to consume more DHA (healthy fats that protect synaptic nerves), thereby maintaining a healthy memory. And even with age, you will remain fast, agile and mentally strong.
Sugar is a food that burdens the entire body. Insulin bursts wear out our organs. When sugar consumption is reduced, a person becomes healthier than even he himself thinks. Of course, sometimes laziness will overcome you, but most of the time you will act clearly and purposefully.
Giving up sweets is not easy. It won’t happen overnight. But it’s worth it to become independent.
The natural sweetness of apples, berries and fruits will be released and it will be a healthier food. They contain vitamins and they strengthen the immune system. With their help, you can kill the desire to eat something sweet again.
