How to Beat Sugar Addiction: Instead of Eating, Do This

23.07.2024 21:33

Dietitians and nutritionists from all over the world agree that sugar can cause addiction.

Its consequences are the most serious: excessive amounts of sugar consumed can lead to obesity, tooth decay, pathologies of the circulatory and endocrine systems, and other health problems.

We agree: it’s not easy to fight the urge to eat a cake and wash it down with soda, but it’s not only possible, it’s necessary.

Instead of food - warm-up

Sweets, particularly chocolate, cause the body to produce so-called “happiness hormones.”

They, in turn, stimulate brain activity, improve mood and increase performance.

But there is another way that will help you perk up and lift your mood, and it is much healthier than eating cake – physical activity.

All the same “happiness hormones” are intensively produced after walking, jogging, working out in the gym, swimming in the pool or cycling – in general, after any, even the most basic types of sports.

If this method does not suit you for some reason or does not help, seek help from a specialist - he will certainly solve your problem with sugar addiction.
