3 simple steps to quit sugar today!
Once you start consuming sugar, it can become highly addictive. In fact, there are many scientific studies and reports that reveal sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine. Why? After sugar enters your body, it sends a signal to your brain to release the neurotransmitter dopamine, also known as the “feel good” brain chemical.
Whether you want to eat healthier or beat cancer, it’s important that you quit sugar today. But, how do you do that exactly? While it may take several weeks to break your sugar addiction, there are steps you can take to rid your body of sugar once and for all.
1.Sugar Detox- Start ridding your body of sugar by going on a sugar detox. However, don’t quit sugar abruptly. If you do so, you may experience withdrawal symptoms in the form of headaches, dizziness, mood swings and more. So, it’s highly advisable that you gradually eliminate your sugar intake over the course of a few weeks, until you no longer have cravings for it.
2. Drink water- Water makes you feel full, flushes out toxins, and rids your body of any excess sugar. Plus, water keeps you hydrated and your skin looking fresh and young.
3. Eliminate processed foods- This can be tricky because there are a lot of processed foods that are “deemed” as healthy. Marketing departments are clever by labeling their food “Low- Sugar”, “Low- Fat”, or “Zero calories”, but it’s important that you read the fine print. Sugar can have many different names such as high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, maltose, and a wide variety of other labels. So, before you buy that low fat yogurt, check the ingredients. Better yet, opt to eat fresh and organic fruits and vegetables that don’t require any extra ingredients or chemicals.
Whether you want to prevent illness, reduce sickness, lose weight, or have more energy, quitting sugar is the way to go. Once you are full of vitality, your body won’t miss sugar at all! Tell me, have you quit sugar? If so, how do you feel now that it’s officially out of your life?
