Nowadays we are all aware that sugar is bad for the body and health. However, many people seem to disregard this fact. It really is almost impossible to completely avoid sugar because it is an ingredient that you can find in any product. The worst part about sugar is that it causes addiction. When you consume too much sugar, it will increase the dopamine levels in the brain. However, when you use too much sugar for a longer time, the levels of dopamine will eventually drop. Therefore, your body will require more sugar so that you won’t become depressed. If you find yourself constantly thinking about something sweet and you can’t resist a piece of cake, you are most likely a sugar addict. Here are the most important things why you should avoid sugar: It’s highly addictive Triggers adrenal fatigue Weakens the eyesight Has no nutrition value Depletes the minerals from the body Increases the levels of serotonin May cause arthritis May engender gallstones Weakens the immune system Causes ulcers Prompts hypoglycemia Causes premature aging Increases the risks of diabetes So, these are the reasons we are offering you a sugar detox menu which will help you ditch this awful addiction.
