DETOX-why NO ADDED SUGAR, apart from sugar in fruit and vegetables during this DETOX.
As a healthy body, you need 1 teaspoon of sugar per day- please reflect on this amount, how many teaspoons of sugar do you add, apart from what is already in convenient foods-EVERY DAY!
You have about 5 liters of blood traveling throughout your body, constantly. If you ingest more than the 1 teaspoon of sugar, the excess sugar slows down your circulation, (salt has the same effect, but salt will cause oedema, more about that later), eventually over time you could become a diabetic.
Your body desperately tries to keep the sugar through your blood vessels at 1 teaspoon. Your body releases insulin whenever you eat food that contains sugar; - soft drinks, added sugar in coffee and tea, hamburgers, condiments, chocolate, sweetners, cake, cookies, pastries, ice-cream and starchy vegetables like potatoe - this insulin then stimulates your cells to mop up the excess sugar. Once inside your cells, sugar is used as energy, the excess being converted to fat.
Remember your body can cope with what I call "soft" sugar, those found naturally in fruit and vegetables, it cannot cope with the onslaught of the excess "hard" sugars we ingest. It puts strain on the adrenal glands.
Right about tomorrow, you might feel a bit flu-ish. Please don't be concerned, you body is cleaning out. Stay on the detox, drink a bit more water to help your body flush out the excess sugar and salts. From tomorrow onwards I have added more fruits, especially for breakfast to the menu, this is carefully planned to counter act the feeling of flu you might experience. The fruit will help balance your blood sugar level.
Remember this is a journey towards restoring our potassium and sodium balance. And as my daughter has rightly said: skin brush, it is an amazing tool towards GREAT HEALTH!
Remember you not alone on this journey.
