Sugar tastes good to your taste bud and act badly in your body. Simply stated: Sugar is not good for you. Whether it's sucrose, lactose, fructose, raw, confectioners, or " natural "....... To your body, it all translate to sugar. Your brain needs a constant supply of glucose to survive but that does not mean you need to ingest sugar in it's simplest form. Our bodies are great at converting any kind of food to sugar in order to provide an ample supply of glucose to our brain.
According to Dr James Balch in his book The Super Antioxidants, when excess sugar reacts with proteins in the body, it produces a damaging effect similar to the free radicals we have heard so much about in recent years. Sugar promotes ageing, decrease your immunity, promotes weight gain and increases your incidence of diseases like diabetes.
Of course this does not mean that you have to throw all sweet food out of your life forever. But it is highly recommended that you treat yourself very modestly with high- sugar foods and beverages .
Follow these simple rules that work very well- 1. do not have anything sweet before lunch. 2.Do not drink any beverages with sugar.
3. Keep your dessert or other sweet selection to no more than about two hundred to three hundred calories per day. That does not mean you must have dessert everyday! By holding off on eating your sugary foods until late in the day, you protect yourself from big blood sugar swings that destroy your energy. And when your energy is high, you tend to have fewer cravings for sweets anyway.
