When you plan on cutting down excess sugar from your life, you will see a positive impact on your body. Sugar is present in various processed foods which we consume in our daily life. However, it’s fine to consume sugar in moderation but an excess of sugar is unhealthy for your health. Have you ever wondered what happens to your body when you stop eating sugar completely?
We know it is a challenging task to completely get rid of sugar as it activates the opioid receptors in the brain which results in stimulation of the reward system leading to good emotions despite all the harmful effects to the brain such as energy crashes, headaches, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, and others. You need to identify the difference between natural and processed sugars. Natural sugars are present in unsweetened milk, honey and fruit while processed sugars are present in junk foods that are rich in calories and cause weight gain. These refined sugars have zero nutritional value and offer adverse effects over the body. When you consume excess refined sugars it results in energetic vibes for few minutes after which you feel drowsy. The body then makes of intestinal enzymes that break down the sugars into glucose which are then converted into carbohydrates which are stored as an energy source within the body. But excess glucose is converted into fats which results in obesity and weight gain.
