1. Sugar Is Linked To
Depression
It’s important to remember that the
foods you eat don’t just release their nutrients,
sugars, and calories into your belly and
thighs. They also send them up to your brain.
2. Sugar Is Linked To Obesity
Another way that sugar consumption has been found to
contribute to obesity is through “leptin
resistance.”
Leptin is a hormone that is supposed to be secreted when
you have had enough to eat.
3. Sugar Is Linked To High Blood Pressure
The more sugar you eat, the more your
bad cholesterol levels surge, which in turn boosts your blood
sugar.
4. Sugar Increases Your Risk of Heart
Attack
Figures in the past have shown that people who
consume 25% more sugar than everyone else have a stronger chance of dying of a
heart attack.
5. Sugar Is Addictive
While sugar is not classed as a drug, its effects are similar to heroin
.
6. Sugar Is Linked To Fatty Liver
Disease
Over time, too much sugar can cause a
fatty liver, which, if left untreated, can lead to full-on liver
disease.
7. Sugar Is Linked To Diabetes
Diabetes happens when your pancreas doesn’t create enough insulin
, which is the hormone we rely on to turn sugar into
fuel.
8. Sugar Could Cause
Cancer
Other studies have demonstrated that
certain cancers such as those of the pancreas, prostate, colon, and rectum seem to be
increased with sugar intake.
9. Sugar Rots Your Teeth
Although sugar is certainly not the sole
reason for oral issues,
it can certainly cause some pretty nasty damage to your
molars.
10. You Feel Less Hungry
Because sugar is so addictive, it just
makes you want to eat more and more.
Cutting it out from your diet will
harmonize your appetite and you’ll no
longer feel like a bottomless pit of
starvation.
So what should you
do?
Limit your sugar intake
overall.
Make wiser food
choices.
Eat fresh fruits, but focus on
vegetables and avoid fruit juices
which do not contain the
beneficial fiber.
Avoid dried fruits.
Eat proteins.
Choose unrefined, whole-grain foods such as brown rice vs. refined bread and pasta like white bread, instant
rice.
