The not-so-sweet truth is that the massive intake of sugar in this country is one of the main contributors to chronic disease. Like drug addiction, sugar causes food addiction in some people, making quitting very difficult. Addictive drugs cause neurochemical changes in the brain, such as changes in the binding of opioid and dopaminergic receptors, which enhance addictive behaviors. Likewise, sugar has been shown to stimulate the brain's reward centers with the neurotransmitter dopamine. Consuming 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 restore your body and detoxify the harmful effects of sugar, follow the guidelines below.
1. Remove all processed foods from your home
The simplest way to detoxify sugar is to leave the turkey cold. To avoid reading food labels for hours and hours, remove anything that is packaged, canned, frozen (with a few exceptions, such as frozen organic berries) or precooked from your kitchen. There are a variety of names for many common forms of sugar. It can take forever to examine food by reading labels, so just commit to eating fresh, whole food and nothing else. Ideally, for 10 days, you should avoid any food that comes in a box, packaging or box or that has a label and that adheres to real, whole and fresh food. In addition, the best way to completely detoxify is to give up all the grains for 10 days as well.
2. Stand in the water
Any form of liquid sugar is worse than solid foods containing sugar because it enters your bloodstream faster. Imagine that sugar enters your liver directly and disables the fat storage mechanism inside your liver, which in turn leads to the production of abdominal fat. Sugary drinks like soda and sports drinks do not satisfy the body. In addition, the energy they provide only lasts a short time. When detoxifying, be sure to avoid fruit juices, sodas, sports drinks, and sugary teas and coffees. Instead, drink lots of water as thirst can often cause cravings for sugar. To function properly, your liver needs water and glucose to produce glycogen. When your body is dehydrated, it is much more difficult to produce glycogen, which causes a craving for sugar.
3. Get enough sleep
Sleep is the time for the body to rejuvenate and rebuild itself. Sleeping less triggers cravings for sugar and carbohydrates by affecting appetite hormones. Lack of adequate sleep affects your energy throughout the day. To compensate for the lack of energy, people tend to consume artificial sugars and excessively caffeinated drinks that contain high levels of sugar. Sleeping between 7 and 9 hours each night is the best way to combat the urge to overeat or nourish your body with excess sugar.
4. Start the day with a high protein meal.
When you wake up, your body may want candy because of the low carbohydrate and high insulin levels that result from fasting overnight. To combat this urge, it is important to nourish your body with many high quality proteins and fats. The nutrient-rich breakfast keeps the body full for an extended period of time and provides the nutrients it needs to function at its optimal capacity. Tomorrow morning, instead of donuts or cakes, enjoy whole farm eggs with avocado and berries.
Prepare yourself with your own healthy snacks.
When you travel, you don't want to get caught in an emergency if your blood sugar goes down without healthy food; Especially when you are traveling. You want to avoid the airport food courts, so you don't feel tempted. You should always have snacks full of nuts, plant seeds or fruits like bananas to pick me up quickly and healthy.
A sugar detox is a great way to restore the body and improve your overall health. While it may be difficult at first, it will be worth it once the addiction goes away. If you are looking to rid your body of excess sugar and unhealthy cravings and want professional assistance, be sure to consult a doctor.
