Just a quick thank you to Chick-Fil-A and BJ’s Wholesale for donating food and drinks for my office’s remembrance and honoring of 9/11 and the Heroes who continue to make sacrifices to protect, serve and keep us safe every day. |
Everyone is looking for the magic bullet to solve their problems. There isn’t one. BUT this is pretty darn close and truly a wonderful thing for your body in general.
What could this miracle possibly be that I am hinting at? Refined SUGAR!
The American Heart Association’s stance on sugar consumption is women should eat no more than 25 grams or six teaspoons per day and men should limit their intake to less than 37 grams or nine teaspoons per day. That is roughly 100 calories for women and 150 for men.
Sugar has many detrimental effects on your body besides just converting easily into fat. It is linked to causing: Diabetes, Heart Disease, Hyperactivity Disorders, Immune System Suppression, Kidney Disease and Depression.
Did you know it feeds Cancer? Read this latest article from Natural Medicine.
They found refined sugar is a serious driving force to Cancer cells thriving inside us. Researchers are looking into testing for high concentrations of sugar in the body as a way to find Cancer. They inject sugar into your bloodstream and then scan for abnormally high concentrations of it. This would be a safer and easier way to find it than using radioactive dyes.
So to decrease your chances of developing Cancer reduce your sugar intake.
John’s Hopkins recently found that the body can use glutamine as a food source for Cancer cells if there is not enough glucose present in the body. Interesting because Glutamine is a supplement bodybuilders use to help support recovery and muscle growth after working out.
All diets strategies try to find ways to get sugar out of your meals like: Atkins protein and fat diet, the Zone diet, Gluten-free diets, Paleo Diet, etc.
