Why I Choose to Avoid Sugar ?
In my previous post I shared about my experience on how good I feel after starting to avoid sugar in a conscious manner. This post entry will explain the effects of sugar.
According to Dr William Coda Martin, refined sugar is poison because it has been processed to the extend it has been depleted of its vitamins and minerals. There is nothing left in sugar except refined carbohydrates. And because vitamins and minerals are missing from sugar, your body cannot effectively utilize this refined carbohydrates, which then causes problem in your digestion and metabolism system. When your body cannot effectively metabolize this refined carbohydrates, various negative changes will take place in your body.
According to holistic health expert Paul Chek, Pyruvic acid would accumulate in the brain and nervous system causing abnormal sugar level to accumulate in the red blood cells. When this happens, your cells will be affected as they could not get enough oxygen to survive and function the way they should be functioning.
The consumption of sugar also causes over-acidity condition in your body. To neutralize its effect of over-acidity, your body starts breaking down minerals from your bones and teeth in order to neutralize the effect of over-acidity. In another word, calcium is being broken down by your body, FROM your bones and teeth to neutralize the acid level in your body.
Next is your liver which its function is to store excess sugar in form of glucose (glycogen), will expand to compensate for the liver's limited capacity. Excess glycogen will then be released into the blood as fatty acids which then store in every part of the body as fat, especially at the belly, buttocks and thighs. Think about big belly and sagging ass, its damn ugly!
After fatty acids are stored in your belly, buttocks and thighs, they will then be distributed in your organs - heart, liver and kidneys - and these organs begin to slow down on its functions. Your whole body to be affected as your organs' function is no longer normal.
Besides all that are mentioned above, your pancreas will release insulin when you consume processed sugar, a hormone that is responsible to reduce blood sugar levels. When this happens, blood sugar crash or better known as hypoglycemia will take place in our body. This is due to the slow feedback mechanism that signals the brain that blood sugar has returned to normal. At the same time, our body will release cortisol, a stress hormone to trigger the liver to release stored glycogen to raise the blood sugar level. Due to the release of sugar from the liver, plus with the sugar that you've consumed from your junk food and drinks, this process will start all over again, bringing you on a roller coaster ride. Because of your addiction to sweetness, you'll continue riding the roller coaster over and over again, causing your body to be insensitive to insulin overtime. And the first thing you'll start seeing an apple shaped appearance on your stomach, and slowly stepping towards having diabetic with you.
The roller coaster ride do not end with just a ride, but over time your adrenal glands will be overworked, getting exhausted from producing too much cortisol, causing hormonal system unbalance. With that, the chances of developing various diseases such as kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, osteoporosis, colon cancer and the list goes on, will increase.
