Tips to Help You Junk the Sugar
Sugar is one of the most invasive products in our society and will be one of your biggest enemies when it comes to adopting a holistic nutrition lifestyle. Wherever you look, you will see sugar in one form or another and it is often masquerading under assumed names in a variety of other places as well. Make no mistake about it, it is going to take a concerted effort on your behalf and you will need the help of your family members or others with whom you live, to help you through the difficult early stages.
Sugar and National Obesity
Sugar addiction is responsible for one of the scourges of modern society and a significant problem in the United States among other countries. While a general predisposition toward “fast food culture” and a collective psyche that suggests adequate food preparation time to be inefficient may be a big part of the problem, many experts point towards sugared beverages and sodas.
Sugar and Aging
Scientists suggest that our sugar addiction can contribute to our bodies changing much faster than they should. It has been suggested that “cross-linking” takes place when sugar molecules attach to protein molecules, causing the linked molecules to alter their function. Some of these molecules accumulate in specific soft tissues which then stiffen over time and become less functional. This can occur in arteries, tendons, cartilage and can result in failure or deterioration.
