WOW!
I have just recently learned some very disturbing news about our sugar
addictions! :(.... It's stuff that I have always known, but
GREATLY discounted!!!!
Most if not all of you probably DO already
know this; HOWEVER, I'm sharing to help spread the word or make the
point as real for you as it has recently been made for me!
The
whole good bacteria vs. bad bacteria in our gut issue.... We have been
hearing a lot about it recently with the yogurt commercials. However,
I'm not sure we have a strong enough grip on it!
The bad bacteria
in our gut feeds on sugar & empty carbs! These are in every
processed food made, in one hidden form or another! So, as we are trying
to provide for our families, we are actually feeding these bad news
monsters!!! Because our food is riddled with the stuff! .... THEN the
bad bacteria multiplies QUICKLY ... infesting our whole gut, small
intestine, large intestine & organs! ... Demanding more & more
& MORE!!! AND wrecking havoc on our health!!! cry emoticon
The
more of the nasty monsters in our bodies, the more likely we are to be
sick! cry emoticon I am fully persuaded that a HUGE % of our illnesses
are nutritionally related! And demanding a better food supply would be
in our very best interest. The problem with that is the 'poisonous' food
is the least expensive, I know.... but we still gotta spread the word
& try to eliminate as much as we can.
And, maybe, if we could
just make one change at a time. Like instead of buying the cookies, buy
some fruit. Instead of the chips, maybe some cucumbers & slice them
& sprinkle seasonings on them. You know? heart emoticon
Nutrition Hint--5 Tips For Kicking Sugar Cravings
1. Avoid Processed Junk Foods
You may know that sugar and processed foods can be as addictive as
heroin. Eating sugar artificially stimulates a region of your brain
called the nucleus accumbens, to produce dopamine, the pleasure
neurotransmitter. Soon dopamine levels drop and we start to feel
"flat"...or a bit "down". We crave this pleasant, feel-good feeling
again...so sugar leads to addiction. (THIS is in ADDITION to the
monsters, the bad bacteria DEMANDING more! ~ruthie)
2. Boost Your Serotonin
Serotonin, aka "the happiness hormone," can be raised through a natural
low glycemic diet, daily exercise and plenty of deep restful sleep.
When you have sufficient serotonin, you are less likely to have cravings
for sweets.
3. Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth With All Natural Stevia
The all-natural sweetener, stevia, has zero calories, does not raise
blood sugar levels and is 300 times sweeter than sugar. If you have
sugar cravings and want to satisfy your sweet tooth safely, stevia is
your best bet. Stevia comes in a liquid and powder form from your local
health food store.
4. Drink Plenty of Water
You may sometimes
think that your body is asking for sugar, when in fact it's dehydrated
and really craving water! Try this simple delicious cravings-buster
lemonade: In 8 oz. of water, add the juice of ½ lemon and 5 drops of
stevia. You could also try a warm cup of green tea, sweetened with
stevia with your meals. This way your sweet taste is satisfied and you
won't want a dessert.
5. Keep Your Blood Sugar Stable
Eat
several small, healthy meals throughout your day instead of three large
portions to avoid dips in blood sugar. Your evening meal should be one
of the preferred gluten-free grain-like seeds (quinoa, millet,
buckwheat, amaranth). If you do this, your body will produce more
serotonin, you'll feel happier and you'll sleep much better at night.
