If you are suffering from: agitation, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, mood swings, sleep deprivation, headaches, and stomach discomfort and go to your doctor, there's a high chance that you'll walk out with a prescription for a brand of thyroid hormone replacement. Now, there are absolutely legitimate cases of hypothyroidism, however many times all that needs to be done are some little tweaks in your daily intake. Here's something to think about before shelling out a co-pay; what are you eating? If sugar is at all (and many times it's hidden) in your daily or even weekly diet, you may be experiencing its nasty effects. Here are some not so sweet facts about sugar that may leave you salty:
- Sugar desensitizes taste buds, leaving you less alert and attentive then you naturally should be
- Sugar puts stress on the adrenal glands which causes the same effects as stress does, releasing hormones that create an imbalance of your bodys "smooth sailing" systems. Released large amounts of Cortisol causes lack of Serotonin (tells your brain it's full) as well as a rise in Leptin (tells your brain you're hungry). It also creates an imbalance of insulin levels which can make you crave even more sugar.
- Sugar puts stress on your liver, which is where toxins are processed
- Sugar dehydrates your body, which creates quicker aging, a confusion in cravings, weak circulation, weak immune system, and a sluggish metabolism
- Refined sugar (anything that's not 100% organic) is not recognized by the body like natural things would be (apple, raw vegetables, etc.) and is quickly stored in the waste areas (fat cells)
When you feed your body Natural things, your body thanks you from the inside to the outside. Keep it clean*
Namaste'
