Food is the cornerstone and the main basis of having a healthy life, every day we wake up in the place we deserve, with the partner we deserve and with the body we deserve, because as human beings we are able to make decisions, one of the most important decisions in the morning is: What are we going to have for breakfast? in the consultation the most popular answer is coffee and bread, then follows the egg and as a third option sandwich, however when it is Sunday the majority always answers first hotcakes and second chilaquiles, always putting in front either on weekdays or weekends foods containing "refined sugars".
And what is this refined sugars?
There are two types of carbohydrates (Carbohydrates):
- Simple
- Complex
Refined sugars fall into the sub group of Simple Carbohydrates (Carbohydrates), which are broken down quickly in our body to be used as energy and are found naturally in foods such as fruits, but there are also processed and refined sugars, found mainly in sweets, common sugar, sweet bread, syrups and soft drinks, the latter being the cause of metabolic diseases such as: Obesity, Diabetes, fatty liver, pancreatic cancer, renal failure, arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, gout, malnutrition, but above all they are highly addictive substances.
Refined sugars are considered as the most addictive substances, even more than heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines together and are the substances that cause more deaths per year, however marketing tells us otherwise, they sell us anything creating instability in the subconscious, thus creating a habit and a wrong attachment looking for that satisfaction that gives us the intake of this poison.
In the consultation we can observe the behavior of the patient in weaning of refined sugars, they are tired, show headache, joint pain, dizziness and even come to refer nausea, vomiting and even diarrhea, however always attributed to the diet or any medication in use, being that the cause of these discomforts is the "withdrawal syndrome", This conjunction of signs and symptoms are caused by the lack of refined sugars, because as already mentioned they are highly addictive and a body accustomed for years to this substance responds unpleasantly to the eradication of it, causing the patient is ready to decline in the process of change in their lifestyle and diet.
That is why today I would like you to take a moment and think about this question I ask you when I see you: How many years do you want to live? the answer I think will be "many", so I invite you to join the challenge 5 days without sugar, during these days you may experience undesirable effects, but in the end you will realize that it was worth it, however this will not be a complete weaning will only be the beginning, but if you can endure 5 days you can endure much more than this, remember refined sugars are not essential for life, they are not part of our diet, it is not necessary to provide that kind of energy to our body, you just have to stay away from it and you will see the difference.
