Hello everyone, Sugar is considered not good, even likened to a toxic substance that brings many dangerous diseases to the body. However, the strange thing is that even though we know that, we still cannot stop ourselves from eating Sugar, like cigarettes, knowing it's harmful but still consuming. Therefore, many people have strongly determined to refuse Sugar to see how the body will change if not consuming Sugar for a long time, specifically 30 days. So let's see how the bodies of those who participate in this challenge have changed after 30 days.
First of all, we need to clarify a bit about the process of not eating Sugar here. As you know, Sugar is found in itself, in sweet drinks, candies, in your food, in fruits, the issue is just whether it's little or much. We cannot completely avoid eating Sugar. Therefore, in this challenge, participants only refrain from consuming Sugar in sweet foods, candies, sweet drinks, and extremely sweet fruits like sugarcane, but can still eat mildly sweet fruits like apples, oranges, bananas, mangoes, and after the implementation, although each person is slightly different, overall it is still similar and the result is a surprisingly positive change in the body.
Changes in the body after 30 days without Sugar.
First is the change in blood Sugar levels
You already know that regularly eating foods and drinks with a lot of added Sugar will harm the control of blood Sugar levels and may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, a very dangerous disease. When you eat a lot of foods with added Sugar, it will make the blood Sugar levels rise, which is not good, so the body has a mechanism to regulate this Sugar level to a balance, that is to release the hormone Insulin.
Insulin can be seen as the police while Sugar is the thief, the police will eliminate the thief, but if you eat too much Sugar continuously, then one day Insulin will gradually lose its effect on Sugar, similar to the police no longer catching the thief because it is too cunning. As a result, both blood Sugar and Insulin levels rise, ultimately causing cell damage and increasing the risk of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke. Just like having many thieves and many police but the police cannot catch the thieves, society will deteriorate and the country will be damaged. Those who do not eat Sugar for 30 days have low blood Sugar and Insulin levels. This is a sign of a healthy body with less risk of dangerous diseases.
Second is effective weight loss
You may already know that foods and drinks high in Sugar are rich in calories. You may feel tired but drinking a Sugar-filled drink makes you feel energetic immediately, but the problem with Sugar is that foods high in Sugar are low in protein and fiber, which are substances that help you feel full longer. Logic dictates that foods low in fiber will make you hungry quickly, and when you are hungry quickly, you will eat more, leading to weight gain. In addition, Sugar itself is also related to increasing visceral fat, the type of fat surrounding your internal organs.
For example, consuming a lot of Sugar can make you prone to fatty liver, even if you are thin. However, participants who cut out Sugar for 30 days have reduced weight, especially when combined with a weight loss diet including protein-rich and fiber-rich foods.
Third is healthier teeth
The saying "Sugar causes tooth decay" is not unfamiliar to us. In fact, the added Sugar is closely related to an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease in both children and adults. This is because bacteria in the mouth break down Sugar and produce acid that damages your teeth. If you want to learn more, read the article on tooth decay on our website. Therefore, limiting or cutting out Sugar is truly beneficial for your oral health.
Fourth is a healthier liver
Studies have shown that a diet high in Sugar, especially a diet high in fructose Sugar, can increase the risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver. One study showed that people who drank a liter of Sugar-containing soda every day for 6 months had higher liver fat, visceral fat, and neutral fat levels in the blood compared to those who drank the same amount of low-fat milk or diet soda. Another study in obese children and adolescents who consumed a lot of Sugar showed that just 9 days of a restricted diet helped reduce liver fat by an average of 3.4% and improve insulin resistance. Based on these findings, cutting out Sugar can help reduce liver fat and improve liver health.
Fifth is a healthy heart and a strong circulatory system like a hydroelectric dam
You already know that a diet high in Sugar is associated with risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure, neutral fat, and increased harmful cholesterol levels. Studies have also shown that excessive consumption of added Sugar is related to an increased risk of heart disease and death from heart disease. A diet low in added Sugar has been shown to significantly reduce risk factors for heart disease such as neutral fat levels and LDL cholesterol. In addition, reducing added Sugar in the body will stimulate fat loss, which in turn helps reduce the risk of heart disease.
Finally, reducing added Sugar for 30 days has been shown to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, enhance skin health, reduce acne and skin aging. Not only that, replacing high Sugar foods with protein-rich, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals can enhance overall health and make you feel energetic. Overall, participating in the 30-day Sugar-free challenge not only helps you realize many great benefits that money cannot buy, but also helps you realize that it is a healthy, vibrant lifestyle for a more meaningful life. Give it a try.
In general, participating in the 30-day Sugar-Free Challenge not only helps you realize many great benefits that money can't buy, but also helps you realize that it is a healthy and energetic lifestyle for you to live a more meaningful life, let's give it a try.
