YES ! NO TO SWEETS FOR YOUR WELL BEING

     

 

 

 

The festival had just ended, but loads of sweets, snacks, chocolates, and dry fruits seemed to be everywhere in the house, inviting us to taste them one after the other.

In this situation, we need to be well informed of the many benefits of reducing or cutting out sugar. This will make us to be healthier in the long run.

Remembering these benefits will help us in minimizing the intake of sugary products.

Weight loss: Reducing sugar intake can help you lose weight and prevent obesity. 

Improved mood: You may feel happier, less anxious, and less depressed. 

Better skin: Your skin may glow and you may be less likely to get skin cancer. 

Reduced risk of disease: You may have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. 

Better sleep: Excess blood sugar can disrupt sleep, but cutting down on sugar can help you sleep better. 

Improved digestion: A high-sugar diet can disrupt the balance of bacteria in your gut, but cutting out sugar can help restore that balance. 

Healthier teeth: Avoiding sugary foods and drinks can help prevent tooth decay and plaque buildup. 

Better cognitive function: You may experience better memory recall and focus. 

Reduced inflammation: Reducing sugar intake may help reduce inflammation. 

Slower aging: You may age more slowly. 

Better breath: You may have better breath. 

 These festival times are the testing time for us to have control over our food. Giving in to a craving may feed the addiction. If you manage to resist, the cravings will get weaker over time and eventually disappear. 

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that people keep their intake of free sugars below 10% of their total energy needs. For additional health benefits, they recommend reducing it to less than 5%. 

Follow a healthy diet and healthily celebrate festivals in the years to come.
