\nToo much sugar can cause breakouts and other skin conditions. And\u2020sugar tends to latch onto the collagen in our bodies, it can limit the productiveness of both collagen and elastin \u00f1 the protein that helps keep skin looking youthful. So sugar can age us too!<\/p>\n
\nUnfortunately, many low-fat and fat-free processed foods contain a lot of hidden sugars.\u2020Once you start eating more unprocessed foods, you may be able to shed weight that is been clinging on for years. And because your hormones are more balanced without the interference of sugar, you should be able to control your cravings better as well.<\/p>\n
\nWhat do you do when that afternoon slump hits? You reach for a sweet snack or a sugary drink, right? Sure, it\u00edll give you a quick energy boost, but it will just as quickly leave you feeling drained and tired again. When you think about it, it makes sense that a sudden rise in blood-sugar levels must lead to a sudden drop \u00f1 it becomes a vicious cycle.<\/p>\n
\nAs mentioned above, sugar causes drastic highs and lows in blood-sugar levels. If you have some sugar close to bedtime, you\u00edll be too hyped up to get a proper night\u00eds rest. Waking up feeling tired will only lead to more sugar cravings for yet another (short-lived) energy boost. See, we told you it\u00eds a vicious cycle! Sugar also causes the body to release cortisol, which can interrupt your natural sleep cycle.<\/p>\n
\nBecause sugary foods are usually the ones we rely on for comfort, it’s normal to feel a little cranky at first when you cut them out of your diet, but once you’ve passed the withdrawal phase, you’ll feel better than ever. It’s been proven that women who eat a lot of sugar are more prone to anxiety and irritability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
