Sugar / flour addiction is just one of many “outlets” of addiction
Researchers have been talking about “sugar” as the white poison for many years. Others claim it’s not harmful. Can they both be right? Yes absolutely! It depends on who and what they are studying.
Harmful use or addiction?
For some people, sugar is very dangerous and for others not quite so. Large amounts are harmful for anyone, but many can use sweets moderately without negative consequences.
This is very important to understand. In the same way. Compare with alcohol, large amounts is harmful to anyone, but many can drink moderately with a positive effects. Others must refrain completely in order to survive.
Different impact on different people
We have a unique body chemistry as we also have unique fingerprints. “One individuals food is another’s poison”, a great thinker said a long time ago. What we eat affects our entire ways, but in different ways for different people.
Some become “high or excited” by caffeine others have no effect. Some people can eat chocolate, and stop after one piece others simply fail to quit, they loose control once they start. This has nothing to do with bad character.
On the other hand, we can influence how our genes express themselves a lot through the lifestyle we choose. However, the basic conditions in the form of their own inherited biochemistry play the biggest role. Several researchers claim that we can influence 70% of the genes’ ways of expressing themselves.
Some examples:
If you are born with a sensitivity to cardiovascular disease, you might trigger disease through your lifestyle. But if you know about the risks and live healthy, for example, by reducing stress, eating well and stop smoking, you can minimize the risk of injury to your vessel and heart. Another example is type II diabetes, which is a disease triggered by improper dietary habits. If you know there is a sensitivity in your family tree, you can reduce the risk of diabetes or increase health by learning a better lifestyle. Learn more about that visiting Diet Doctors web page under links.
To be sugar sensitive is the same. Today, we know that some of us have an unwanted reaction when eating sugar and starchy foods. Sugar rapidly goes into our blood and releases excessive insulin. The more sugar/starch you eat the more insulin your body has to make. The reaction is fast and strong and causes fluctuations in blood sugar and that will create cravings and you eat more. This rollercoaster is extremely unpleasant. Sugar also releases huge amounts of neurotransmittors for example dopamine. Thants why we like it so much but it will create havoc with bodychemistry. It’s like pouring jet fuel into a tractor, it will stop working. It is a lot to learn about sugar sensitivity and sugar addiction. If you think you have a problem with this, remember : IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. Learn more about your brain and addiction and you will understand what I mean.
