Without knowing it, we usually eat up to 16 teaspoons of sugar or even more per day. As you know, sugar is not the most useful supplement for the human body. Try to reduce the amount of sugar in the daily ration, and you will see that your body will start to work quite differently. The transformations of your body will pleasantly surprise you.
Your Heart Will Work Better
Sugar causes an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. That is, without a daily excess of sugar, the level of insulin in your blood will increase and activate the sympathetic nervous system. This, in turn, will normalize blood pressure and heart rate. And after a few weeks, you’ll see in your blood tests the reduction of cholesterol by 10 percent.
You Will Forget About Acne
Chronic inflammation is one of the most common causes of acne. Sugar is a real trigger for inflammatory processes in the organism. An increased daily sugar intake by just a couple of spoons can cause intensive inflammation in the intestines by 87 percent in three weeks. So if you give up the daily bottle of cola, you can save on cola and special masks and creams for your poor skin.
You Will Be Safe from Diabetes
Sugar consumption contributes to the accumulation of fatty deposits around the liver. And it creates an excellent environment for developing insulin resistance. In short, your pancreas will not thank you for such a development. If you get the same amount of energy not from sugar but from protein, then you’ll prevent the development of diabetes.
You’ll Become Calmer
We all used to think that sugar improves mood and quickly energizes us. But the fact is that when its effect ends, the energy level and mood immediately fall below the initial level. A study showed that women who tolerate diets with sufficient sugar content tend to be more anxious than those who have excluded this product from the diet.
The Risk of Tooth Decay Will Decrease
White refined sugar, like any other food, must be digested. For this, it needs calcium and B vitamins. Our dental tissue becomes the source from which our body receives these substances. That is why, when you’re eating sweets, your teeth gradually begin to break down from the inside. And with excessive consumption of sugar, this destruction occurs fairly quickly, since the teeth do not have time to renew their stock of necessary elements between the consumption of sweets. This will result in cavities and other serious dental problems. Eating less sugar will help prevent tooth loss and the need for dental implants.
You’ll Get a Full Night’s Sleep
You will get rid of the feeling of sleepiness that accompaniesthose who abuse sugar every day. The hormone cortisol enters the bloodstream, which saves your energy. Consuming less sugar will add productivity to your daily work.
Your Memory Will Recover
You probably didn’t know this, but sugar deteriorates memory, as shown by research at the University of California. In addition, excessive consumption of sweets may affect your learning ability. This ability will gradually deteriorate if you do not regulate the daily amount of sugar intake. The effect of sugar on the brain as a whole is rather destructive since sugar interferes with communication between cells.
You’ll Lose Weight
If you give up sugar, you will get a wonderful side effect—the total amount of calories consumed per day will inevitably decrease. Simple mathematics says the following: If you give up sugar, you will consume 200 fewer calories per day, and this will help you lose about 10 pounds in 5-6 months. Not a bad result!
