We were told to cut back on sugar because researchers linked it to obesity, type-2 diabetes and many complications related to these disorders. The more sugar we have eaten over the years, the more our body craves it now. It doesn't help that pastries, cakes, glazed donuts, ice cream and many others seem to be right in our path as we shop with healthy intention for the foods we have been told make up the optimal diet.
There are some reasons why you should consider eliminating or decreasing, significantly, sugar from your diet:
- Sugar has been referred to as the new tobacco.
Sugar is loaded with empty calories (energy) that your body stores for later days, the later days never come out and eventually all that built-up energy is turned into fat.
- Dental Problems
Although sugar is certainly not the sole reason for oral issues, it can certainly cause some pretty nasty damage to your molars. This is because it leaves behind a trail of debris in your teeth, which, over time, can lead to plaque and ultimately cavity formation.
- Appetite
Because sugar is so addictive, it just makes you want to eat more and more. Cutting it out from your diet will harmonize your appetite and you'll no longer feel like hungry, if you want to optimize your health and the health of your children then start eliminating or at least decreasing sugar from your diet and start living a healthier, longer, more optimal life.
