Quitting sugar can be hard but after a couple of days you will starts to feel and see the benefits. Here are 5 amazing things that will happen when you rid your diet of sugar:
1. You will Look and Feel Younger
Eating sugar has been shown to directly correlate to how old someone looks. A 2011 study showed that those with higher blood sugar levels consistently looked older than their counterparts.
Sugar also is known to attach to collagen in the skin, causing inflammation and a dull appearance that can make you look older than you are. Cutting sugar out of your diet will do more than raise your energy levels and improve your appearance.
2. Boost your mood
Studies show that reducing your sugar intake also reduces your risk of mental health disorders, such as depression and schizophrenia.
3. Better Sleep
High blood sugar levels confuse the body and makes it nearly impossible to get a decent night’s sleep, making sugar the second leading cause of insomnia. By keeping your blood sugar levels stable with quality food, your body will re-adjust its natural rhythm, allowing you to get a solid night’s sleep.
4. Stronger Immune System
Your immune system is your body’s defense against the onslaught of germs that you encounter on a daily basis. Sugar is a leading contributor to chronic inflammation, and an inflamed body is not able to adequately protect you from everyday illness.
5. Better Skin
The condition of your skin is directly related to the type of food you eat. When you stop eating sugar your skin will start to rejuvenate, acne will disappear, and you will feel younger and more confident without the use of makeup and magic potions!
