Why So Many of us are Addicted to Sugar

The more reading I do and the more documentaries I watch and experimenting I do with my own diet, the more that I am convinced that processed foods and especially sugar is messing with our health. The other sad thing, is that we have been operating on false information for years. We’ve been led to believe that fatty foods and cholesterol are the evil culprits in our diets, however it has recently been discovered that this information was fed to us in quite a strategic and undermining way. Why is sugar so bad for us? Sugar is empty calories, we’ve all heard that before but it’s what sugar does in our bodies that is worrisome. When you ingest sugar, a hormone called insulin is released in order to regulate the glucose in our bloodstream. Our bodies are amazing machines that are able to regulate many processes that keep us trucking along throughout the day and feeling well. Sometimes though, we don’t feel well.

Heal Yourself with Nutrition

I’ve had quite a few people messaging me this week, all suffering from significant health issues. They are all looking for advice and information about keto. This blog post is to everyone out there who is ready to make a change with their nutrition and heal themselves from the inside out. While a ketogenic diet may not solve the panacea of health conditions out there; I do believe it is a good first step to healing many of them because it changes our metabolism by teaching our body to use fat as fuel and create ketone bodies which our brain loves. If you’re wondering whether you have a healthy metabolism or not, ask yourself the following questions. Can you go more than four to five hours without eating or getting cranky? Do you have sustainable energy throughout the day or do you feel tired in the afternoon or after a meal? Do you have the energy you need to exercise or do other physical activities that you’d like to enjoy such as playing with your children or grandchild...
