A Complete 3 Day Detox That Will Cleanse Your Body from Sugar, Help You Lose Weight and Boost Your Health
Obesity and weight gain must be one of the most common health issues nowadays resulting from modern society and the consumption of fat and carbs.
Oftentimes, gaining weight can come from excessive consumption of sugar, especially when you can find sugar in almost every drink and food nowadays.
Still, our bodies need sugar so they can function in a proper way and they use it as fuel. However, not every bit of sugar is used, so, what is left is stored as fat. Therefore, if we consume too much of it, it will accumulate in our hips, waist, thighs, and face.
The sugar that you can find in the processed products is in high-fructose or fructose corn syrup, which is much cheaper than the regular one and it is processed to many time. Moreover, it is 20% sweeter than the table one.
The professor of the Clinical Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California which is also a pioneer, Dr. Robert Lusti claims that our body needs 6 teaspoons daily in order to function as it should. However, we are having problems due to the fact that we are consuming more than that amount because of unhealthy diets. So, this way fat starts to accumulate, causing chronic metabolic diseases.
Excessive Intake of Sugar
Here are the things that the excessive intake of sugar is causing:
- Damages and overloads the liver
- Leads to weight gain
- It is affecting leptin and insulin signaling, therefore causing insulin resistance
- Elevates the uric acid levels, therefore increasing the risk of kidney and heart diseases
- Since it is causing metabolic dysfunctions, it can cause high blood pressure, increased LDL and decreased HDL levels, abdominal obesity, high blood sugar, as well as increased levels of triglycerides
Thus, if you are a person that likes sugary foods, it will be very hard to avoid them. If you stop eating them, you will suddenly face fatigue, sadness, headaches, and food cravings.
However, you do not need to avoid all of the food products. You can start cutting them one by one. So, try the following plan we are offering you.
