Nutritionists and doctors agree on this: sugar is harmful to health, causes addiction (even more than alcohol), and can leave long-lasting and irreversible damage. That's why it's even more important to know how your body reacts if you decide not to eat sugar for 24 hours.

You can see how difficult it is to resist sugar by eating a piece of chocolate and then trying to eat another piece at least an hour later. If you can do it, then you are not addicted. But if you can't, then you have a problem. Maybe not now, but it will catch up with you soon.

The fact is that sugar goes directly into the bloodstream, raises insulin levels, which increases blood pressure and accelerates heart rate. It is known that the lower your heart rate, the better your fitness level and overall shape.

We must be aware that just one bite of a sugary food can heavily burden internal organs, and a lack of sugar can also affect your mood. If you don't get enough sugar, you may become more irritable, in a bad mood, and you may experience headaches and even joint pain!

Giving up sugar is not easy. The crisis that occurs is one of the most stubborn and long-lasting, and the consequences are very, very unusual.

Giving up sugar is not as simple as with other foods. We need to know that all carbohydrates in the stomach turn into sugar. Giving up sugar means that you should not eat fruit that day, not even some vegetables (beetroot, carrots, peas, even lettuce) ...

On the other hand, in just 24 hours, your body can significantly detoxify (an average of 85%), your elevated blood pressure can be corrected, digestion is improved, not to mention the weight loss effects, less sugar also means that your brain will function better ...

If you succeed in having one sugar-free day, then you are on the right path to repeat it again. Nutritionists suggest that it would be great to do this every week. In reality, it's nothing serious, you just have to think a bit more about where sugar is hidden in various foods.

And with just this awareness, you will eat differently on the other days of the week.

Healthier!
