The not-so-sweet truth is that the country's massive sugar intake is one of the main contributors to chronic disease. Like drug addiction, sugar makes some people addicted to food, making it very difficult to quit. Eating too much-processed sugar has been linked to heart disease, cancer, dementia, obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, depression, and even acne, infertility, and impotence. If you want to reset your body and detox from the harmful effects of sugar, follow the instructions below. 1. Remove all processed foods from your home To avoid spending hours reading food labels, drop anything packaged, canned, frozen (with a few exceptions like frozen organic berries), or pre-cooked from your kitchen. There are a variety of names for many common forms of sugar. Reading labels can take forever to sift through, so commit to eating fresh, whole foods and nothing else. , you should avoid all foods that come in a box, package, or can, or have a label for 10 days and stick to real, whole, fresh foods. Additionally, the best way to detox is to give up all grains for 10 days as well. 2. Stick to water Any form of liquid sugar is worse than a solid sugar diet because it gets into your bloodstream faster. Imagine that sugar goes into your liver and shuts down the liver's fat storage mechanism, which in turn leads to the production of belly fat. Sugary drinks such as soda and sports drinks do not satiate the body. Besides, the energy they provide only lasts for a short time. Be sure to avoid fruit juices, sodas, sports drinks, and sweetened teas and coffees during detox. Drink plenty of water instead, as thirst can often trigger sugar cravings. In order for your liver to function, it needs water and glucose to produce glycogen. When your body is dehydrated, it is much harder to produce glycogen, which causes sugar cravings. 3. Get enough sleep Sleep is the time when the body rejuvenates and restores itself. Less sleep triggers sugar and carb cravings by affecting your appetite hormones. To compensate for the lack of energy, people tend to consume artificial sugars and caffeinated drinks that contain high amounts of sugar. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night is the best way to fight the urge to overeat or fuel your body with excess sugar. 4. Start your day with a protein-rich meal After waking up, your body may crave sweets due to the low carb levels and high insulin levels that result from an overnight fast. To fight this desire, it is important to supply the body with enough protein and high-quality fats. A nutrient-rich breakfast keeps the body feeling full for longer and provides the nutrients it needs to function. Tomorrow morning, instead of donuts or pastries, enjoy whole farm eggs with avocado and berries. Prepare your own healthy snacks When you're on the go, you don't want to be caught in an emergency when your blood sugar drops, without healthy foods; especially when traveling. You want to avoid airport food courts to avoid temptation. It's in your best interest to always have snacks packed with nuts, plant seeds, or fruit like bananas for a quick, healthy pick-me-up.
