Sugar vs Cocaine???

Still craving sugar? Feeding the family sugar?

Think about this for a minute…Something in our kids lunch box is more addictive than street drugs.

Is it just as harmful?

The term sugar drefers to sucrose, or table sugar. When isolated from nature – like cocaine from the coca leaf – it becomes a drug. This means, according to the FDA, that it’s now a “substance (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body.”

(Yes, the FDA classifies sugar as a drug.)

Like fraternal twins, sugar and cocaine are both isolated using harsh acids, bleaching and a series of purification steps that are performed by chemists in a laboratory or processing plant. Atomically, they only differ by a nitrogen atom. Otherwise, they share very similar biochemical outcomes.

Both drugs cause cardiovascular diseases.

Both drugs over stimulate the pleasure centers in the brain.

Both drugs are highly addictive.

In fact, you can be born addicted to cocaine and sugar courtesy of your mom – sugar addicted babies have to be hooked up to a sugar-drip to curb withdraw of severely low blood sugar, hypoglycemia.

Once dissolved on the tongue, the perfectly sweet crystals of sugar cause the brain to release pain-relieving compounds known as opioids, thereby relieving stress. Simultaneously, dopamine is released in mass amounts, eliciting an ARTIFICIAL feel good.

It feels like true love for the sugar addict.

But, it’s short lived.

Referred to as the sugar crash, the high evaporates quickly. The brain chemicals just can’t keep up. Nor can blood sugar. Both plummet. Users are left feeling lethargic, depressed and wanting more.

Withdraw sets in.

This roller coaster injects enormous cravings for all the things that trigger the pleasure center: more sugar and even illicit drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. That’s why abstaining from any single one without addressing the addiction is futile. Ultimately, users will just bounce back and forth – sugar, to alcohol, to nicotine, rinse, repeat.

Sugar was my drug of choice as a NEW MOM.

It was nearly impossible to find pleasure outside of a sugar fix or anything that resembled it. It how I dealt with stress, and exhaustion.

What a cycle.

Like a cocaine addict, the more sugar you have, the more you want, regardless of how sick it makes you. And this is why it’s nonsensical to deal sugar to our kids “as a treat.”

From an evolutionary perspective, this all makes sense. The inherent desire for sweetness – courtesy of reward centers in the brain – drives survival. It’s in our best interests for our brain to force us to seek out food. However, when manipulated by processed sugar, this desire grows into an unhealthy dependence on sugary foods. That dependence parlays into diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Unknown to most, the best way to break the addiction is to increase your sensitivity to it. The more sensitive your body is to sugar, the less you crave.

-> Have YOU noticed once you have detoxed the sugar out, your sensitivity has heightened?

-> Your knowledge, and simply being aware is your new POWER.

-> A diet rich in organic meats, eggs, vegetables, avocados, coconut oil, whey, etc….can heal our sugar dependency.

-> Let’s make this week’s focus, HEALTH…and celebrate our tiny victories together 🙂

    Great information and I will be passing this along to my daughter. She is trying to break her dependency on sugar now that I have schooled her to how addictive it is. She is a carboholic and needs to cure herself because she is an athlete and it takes a toll on her body.

  • どうして鼻の毛穴が開いちゃうのかその原因をご存知ですか?それには異なる種類があって、1つは「詰まり毛穴」で、もう一方は「開き毛穴」です。

    実は、各々の理由にあった毛穴の開きをなくす方法が存在します。まず、各々共通する解決方法は抗酸化作用を持つ成分を配合した化粧品を使用することです。これなら誰にもできますよね。

    顔を洗うことで鼻の毛穴の開きに効果もありますが、行うペースは週に1、2回に留めておきましょう。それでも、いっこうに毛穴が消失しない!と感じる人は、フェイスパウダーでごまかすのも手です。抜本的な解決にはなりませんが、一度やってみてはいかがですか?

    そして、家で開いた毛穴を無くすことができない場合は、エステに通うのが良いでしょう。詳しいことはその道のプロに頼るのが確実かもしれませんね。

    開いた鼻の毛穴を消す方法をお伝えしてきましたが、詳細を知りたい方はこちらからサイトを訪問してください。あなたの疑問に答えられるコンテンツがここにはありますよ。

  • インターネットが飛躍的に進化した現在、誰もがネットに接続することが日常茶飯事となっています。このような状況において手を出す人が増加中なのが、ネットビジネスです。ネットビジネスとはリアルではなくネットを使うビジネスですが、全く取り組んだことがない人にとっては意味不明だと思います。なので、今回はネットビジネス未経験者が取り組むべきビジネスをお教えします。

    第一に初心者が実践すべきネットビジネスは、不用品販売です。あなたの家にもありますよね、不用品。一切使用していないゲーム機や着なくなった洋服など、各家庭で様々だと思いますが。でも、あなたにとってはゴミと思っていても、ある人にとっては価値のある宝物と感じるも十二分にあるのです。その、自分にとっては価値を感じないモノをヤフオクに出品すれば、処分しようとしていた不用品が財布を潤してくれるのです。

    不用品販売の良い点は、モノを仕入れる必要がないのが最大のポイントです。それと、ネット上のヤフオクという日本最大のネットオークションに簡単に出品できるので非常に取り組みやすいのです。なので、オークションに参加する人も大勢いるので、ビジネスで一番の肝である人を集めることに頭を悩ますことがないんです。以上の理由が、不用品販売をゴリ押ししている理由です。

    もちろんこれ以外にも、未経験者が実践可能なネットビジネスは存在します。もし興味が少しでもあれば、こちらから詳細を確認してみてくださいね。

  • I simply want to tell you that I am just very new to blogging and site-building and actually loved your web page. Most likely I’m planning to bookmark your blog . You certainly have tremendous article content. Kudos for revealing your website page.

  • 花粉症の鼻水に悶える方はめっちゃ多いですよね。私もその一人なんですが、職場などで花粉症のくしゃみを辛いと感じている方がいっぱいいます。冬が越え花粉飛び始めの時期が訪れた今の時期が、一番辛いですよね。この辛い症状、実はおさらばできることを知ってましたか?そこで花粉症の症状を改善する方法が存在するのです!

    花粉症で鼻水が出る要因は、花粉が体の中に侵入した時にやっつけようと体の中で作られるヒスタミンが関係しています。ヒスタミンが嫌なくしゃみなどのアレルギー反応を引き起こしているのです。つまり、花粉症を治すためにはヒスタミンを弱めてしまうのが一番なのです。

    ヒスタミンの働きを弱めてくれるのが、ナリルチンという成分なのです。だが、ナリルチンを取り入れるのはとても大変です。なぜなら、ナリルチンは我々が食べている中にはわずかしか含有されていないからです。柑橘類に含まれているのですが、その実大した量ではありません。

    ナリルチンを取り入れるにはじゃばらが最高なのですが、酸味が強すぎて口にできるものではありません。なので、じゃばらを食べるのではなくそのままサプリメントにした、”くしゃみとおじゃらば”が本当におススメです。くしゃみとおじゃらばを飲むだけで嘘でなく花粉症とバイバイできますよ!

    花粉症のくしゃみが治るだけで症状に気が散り集中できなくなることはなくなります。人生がプラスに転換すると言っても過言ではありません。是非”くしゃみとおじゃらば”でくしゃみで悩む人生からおさらばしましょう。本当におススメです!!
