Refined Sugar and its effects on YOUR Body

Refined Sugar (sucrose)= extracted from the sugar cane or sugar beets, also extracting all purification and nutrition, therefore leaving an "empty calorie food", in other words a food with no nutrition.

Refined sugar is found everywhere. Most middle isles at the grocery store contain loads of sucrose. Cereal, anything preserved, bread, mayonnaise, ketchup, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, microwaveable meals, etc.

Reasons to stay away: refined sugar has high blood glucose levels, slowing digestion and releasing high insulin levels (insulin takes sugar and stores it as fat), therefore causing obesity, high blood pressure (sugar creates high level of triglycerides which are a form of fat in bloodstream), decreased Serotonin (Serotonin tells your brain that you are full), low immune system (sugar depletes vitamin C in your cells).

WATCH YOUR SUGAR INTAKE. YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT WHAT YOUR BODY CAN LOOK AND FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU CUT OUT ALL REFINED SUGAR.
