Giving up sugar boosts energy levels
Sugar is found in everything from morning tea to after-meal desserts. It’s such a ubiquitous ingredient that it seems impossible to cook without it. However, while sugar is widely used around the world, it is associated with several health problems such as diabetes, obesity and tooth decay. Too much sugar can increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and liver disease. This is why many of us reduce our sugar intake or eliminate it completely from our diet. But what really happens when we give up sugar and how does it affect our bodies?
Nutritionist Nmmami Aggarwal sheds light on sugar’s effects on our bodies and explains why you should consider giving up sugar. Going sugar-free for 14 days may sound like a lot of work, she says, but the results are amazing. Nutritionists emphasize that without a constant influx of additional sugars, our bodies begin to regulate blood sugar levels more effectively. According to her, this improves energy levels and reduces inflammation.
Other benefits of cutting back on sugar are clearer skin and improved digestion. Dietitians add that avoiding sugar can also help with weight loss, as the body begins to adjust to reduce sugar intake. “Say goodbye to sugar and go for a healthier body,” says a nutritionist.
A nutritionist explains how diet can help control blood sugar levels in the body. According to her, signs like frequent urination, excessive thirst, and wounds that don’t heal indicate high blood sugar levels. She explained that our bodies get sugar not only from the sugar we eat, but from every food we consume such as vegetables, roti and dal. Therefore, it’s important to focus on what you eat to regulate your blood sugar and stay healthy.
