Instructions
Step 1
So, how does sugar affect the organs and systems of the body.
Step 2
To assimilate the sugar in food, the body expends its calcium stores. Thus, the bones are weakened, which threatens the development of osteoporosis of the bones.
Step 3
Sugar breaks down collagen and elastin, causing the skin to become flabby and lacking in turgor. This process is called collagen glycation. Glycation is the attachment of glucose (sugar) to a protein (collagen), as a result of which the collagen fibers become stiff and inflexible, and the skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles.
Step 4
Sugar destroys tooth enamel as it increases the acidity in the mouth. In conditions of high acidity, pathogenic bacteria multiply rapidly.
Step 5
Increased sugar intake causes insulin resistance - a condition in the body in which cells cannot absorb incoming glucose, which means they are deprived of nutrition. Moreover, absolutely all cells - heart, brain, muscles.
Step 6
Blood sugar spikes cause constant fatigue and unnecessary irritation. After consuming a sugar-containing product, there is a sharp jump in blood sugar, a surge of energy and good mood. After half an hour, the sugar level also drops sharply, you feel tired and hungry. That is, if you eat a chocolate bar, you will provide yourself with extra calories and will automatically increase the amount you eat per day. After all, after the sugar jump, you will need to refresh yourself with something else to keep your body in a state of performance.
Step 7
To maintain beauty and slimness, you should reduce the use of refined sugar, and, ideally, completely abandon sugar-containing foods.
Step 8
How to do it quickly:
Step 9
Use peppermint oil as a filler for your aroma lamp. You can apply a couple of drops to your wrists periodically throughout the day. The scent of mint reduces appetite, as it affects the center of the brain responsible for feeling full.
Step 10
Drink mint tea unless you have a medical condition for it. Mint tea reduces hunger, improves mood, contains phytoestrogens, which have a rejuvenating effect.
Step 11
If you love chocolate, replace sweet chocolate with bitter, then bitter without sugar, then homemade cocoa chocolate. To make chocolate at home, you will need 60 g of butter and 200 g of insoluble cocoa powder without added sugar. Melt the butter in a water bath and add cocoa while stirring. Stir until the mixture is smooth (you can add a little water if the mixture is too thick). Then pour the chocolate into molds and cool. You can put sweet dried fruits in the molds and pour them over with chocolate - you get a delicious and healthy dessert for the whole family.
Step 12
Gradually accustom yourself to the right desserts - fruit platters and fruit salads with curd dressing. By eliminating desserts with refined sugar, you will reduce the calorie content of your diet by 40%. Thus, you will not only improve your body, but also reduce weight.
Step 13
Eat cottage cheese, eggs, sprouted grains for breakfast. A protein breakfast will help you avoid a dramatic drop in blood sugar and you will not want to eat something unhealthy until your next meal.
Step 14
Get yourself enough sleep (at least 7 to 8 hours). Lack of sleep forces the body to seek resources for energy elsewhere. And that source is foods that cause spikes in blood sugar - cookies, candy, and other foods that contain sugar.
