Sugar is the drug of the food industry. Most of us are so reliant on sugar that we don’t even recognize that it has us in a death grip.
Sugar is in everything – cereal, bread, pasta, crackers, condiments, granola bars, and more obviously cakes, muffins, cookies, and candy.
Why is sugar so bad? Every time sugar is eaten, insulin levels spike in the blood and cause sugar to be shuttled into your cells to properly maintain your blood sugar levels. Over time, when sugar is over consumed, insulin continues to be released into the bloodstream, but the insulin receptors on the cells become tired and lazy. They no longer help to lower the blood sugar levels by pumping sugar inside of the cells, so blood sugar levels remain high and can wreak havoc on the body. One of the worst case scenarios; Type II Diabetes will begin to develop. Along the way to developing Diabetes, high blood sugar levels contribute to weight gain, foggy brain, and inflammation.
Awareness is the key to breaking up with sugar once and for all. Read labels, and watch out for added sugar. Eliminate simple carbohydrates from your diet – this includes all white products (white flour, white rice, white pasta, white bread, etc) and become a more conscious eater. Focus on eating whole foods that are going to nourish your body and sustain your health.
