Why Giving Up Sugar Can Be Really Good For Your Health 

Many people have a sweet tooth. They enjoy foods that have sugar in them, including sweets, candy, and other treats. Sodas and even fruit juices sometimes have extra sugar added to improve the flavor.

It turns out sugar is not good for a person’s health at all. Sugar does not contain nutrients, vitamins, minerals, or anything else that is good for the body. Sugar can add empty calories to the body and can harm overall health.

Why Sugar is bad

For years people have blamed cholesterol and saturated fats as the leading causes of heart disease. Heart disease is the number on cause of death in all of the world. While these things are not good for a person’s health, there is something that is worse.

That something is sugar. Studies have shown that sugar can raise the oxidized LDL levels in the blood which is a leading cause of heart disease. Sugar can also raise insulin levels and increase the amount of fat that a person has. This can happen in as little as ten weeks.

Interestingly, when I stopped the sugar, I noticed a real change in my overall health.

Looking back, I’d have to say that stopping refined sugar was the most powerful health intervention I’ve ever undertaken. My overall state of well-being has never been better, and the general level of inflammation in my body is at an all-time low.
