Did You Know Sugar Can Make You Ill?

Having too much sugar on a daily basis is not healthy for you. This is because sugar depletes your immune system and too much of it will cause your internal system to be acidic. It also causes widespread inflammation throughout your body, which is connected to every chronic health issue we know. It is also highly addictive, causing you to crave more and more, which sets up a cycle that can be hard to stop. Digestion is affected in a negative way as sugar causes an imbalance of good and bad bacteria, which has many different symptoms: gas, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, and other digestive issues.

So how can you limit the amount of sugar in your diet?

First, by staying away from obvious sugary foods (sweets, baked goods, most desserts, fizzy drinks, junk food), plus highly refined and processed foods, and then by reading food labels to identify added sugars in foods. This can be tricky because there are so many names for sugar. You should also steer clear of artificial sweeteners as they are no better for you.

Cutting back on sugar can be difficult for many people. However, with the right techniques and recipes, it’s possible for anyone to make delicious and healthy alternatives to their favourite treats that will squash cravings and transform how they feel inside and out. By learning how to identify and avoid sugars, the easier it is to take control and create lasting, positive change in your life.

You can expect to feel more energetic, see a reduction in weight, have improved digestion, better sleep, and a stronger immune system. You will also see the benefit of having more steady, consistent energy throughout the day without those peaks and dips, and, of course, your cravings will go away too.
