Sugar: worse than what you think!
There is no question that the epidemic of chronic health issues we are currently facing correlates with the increase in sugar consumption (and seed oils). In other words, in order to regain our health, we need to address this issue.
What I mean by sugar is refined sugar, like corn sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and white sugar. These sugars are the worst because they wreak havoc on your body in several ways.
First, sugar affects your immune system. When you consume sugar, your white blood cell activity is reduced for the next 2 weeks, making you more prone to infections and illnesses. Have you ever wondered why the flu season is at its worse after the holidays?
Second, sugar depletes your body of vitamin D, which, again, increases your risk of infections and other health issues, as vitamin D performs more than 100 functions in the body. In addition, sugar also depletes magnesium and calcium.
Third, sugar consumption increases your appetite by about 400-500 more calories a day! So, sugar by itself leads to weight gain and, indirectly, increases your appetite.
Therefore, make every effort possible to cut out sugar completely. On the other side, natural options are dates, coconut sugar, maple syrup, allulose, and stevia. These are good in moderation!
