Sugar and Health

Sugar Overload Syndrome
Healing Mental and Physical Disorders Naturally

It’s hard to pass up treats made with sugar sometimes, but I know that I have to, or I will get “sugar overload syndrome”. Eating too many sugary laden products made with refined flour literally make me sick, emotionally and well as physically. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a symptom of sugar overload syndrome.

Hypoglycemia is not a disease like you have heard; it is a warning signal that lets us know we are overloading our body with too much refined products. It can be cured through proper eating. Low blood sugar attacks will not suddenly come back just because you had some ice cream or a candy bar, if you are already healthy.

Just because last month you had an attack of low blood sugar does not mean you are destined with this condition for the rest of your life. If you eat badly eventually your body will begin to reject what you are feeding it. These symptoms show up as ADHD, physical cravings for alcohol, bipolar, depression, hypoglycemia, diabetes, IBS, gluten intolerance, and low immunity. Refined foods do not have enough nutrition in them to support all of the bodily functions and the body becomes mineral and vitamin deficient.

Listen To Your Body

Do you know how to listen to your body’s warning signals? My body lets me know right away if I have eaten too much sugar or refined flour products. I am already quite healthy - I cleanse my system once a year, briskly walk 3 miles every day, and eat a whole foods diet. I very rarely eat refined foods, but when I do, it doesn’t affect me like it used to twenty years ago. Twenty years ago I craved alcohol and drink too much. But now through cleansing and healthy diet, I do not crave alcohol or sugar anymore like I used to.

When a body is not very healthy to begin with the warning signals are a bit harder to detect. Why is that? The unhealthy body is so overloaded with toxins that the warning signals have turned into health conditions like IBS, gluten intolerance, obesity, skin rashes, boils, asthma, flu’s and colds, high or low blood sugar attacks, etc, etc, etc. The good news is these conditions are still warning signals (symptoms) and you can heal your body naturally before these conditions turn into cancer and full blown disease.

Is Refined Sugar A Drug?

People who are afraid to give up sugar won’t admit that sugar is a drug. The medical establishments, who are afraid of the revenue they will lose, will not admit that sugar is a drug. But people who are healthy and who are not addicted to sugar products will tell you flat out that refined sugar is a drug. It acts like a drug in the system and causes numerous health problems that eventually lead to death.

Is sugar a drug? It certainly acts like a drug for many people. To those with health symptoms such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, alcoholism, and attention disorders sugar acts like a drug, doesn’t it? So what happens when sugar and refined flour products are totally eliminated from the diets of people with the conditions above? They heal! You can be your own doctor by taking responsibility for your health today!

5 Ways to Cut Down on Sugar in Your Families Diet

Drink Less Soda Pop

One can of coke has twelve teaspoons of sugar!  If you cut down on your soda pop consumption by only one a day, you will be getting much less sugar in your diet. Try drinking one less soda pop once a week until you are drinking only one a day.

Buy Real Peanut Butter

Most Brands of Peanut butter have sugar as their second ingredient after peanut butter. Most major grocery stores have at least one brand of peanut butter that has only peanuts and salt as the ingredients. You can buy creamy or chunky, whichever you like. In my opinion, real peanut butter tastes better.

Use Unadulterated Bee’s Honey

Be careful when buying your honey. Don’t be mislead by the word “Pure” on the jar.  Real bee’s honey you gather from your own hives, buy at a farmers market, or from health food stores. Real honey is not processed or cooked at a high heat. If you drink coffee or tea use real honey as the sweetener.  Real honey is more expensive than sugar, so when baking use regular sugar because the cooking process robs the honey of its vitamins and minerals.

Eliminate Condiments

What are condiments? Condiments are jarred processed foods packed with preservatives and sugar. They have no food value whatsoever. Condiment use can be addicting because of the sugar content. You may think it makes the food taste better, but in actuality it is the sugar you taste. The worse condiment culprits are ketchup, miracle whip, barbeque sauces, relish and sweet pickles.

Try Real Mayonnaise without the sugar and make your own pickled relish from fresh whole pickles, or if you really are serious, prepare pickles from your own cucumbers!

Eliminate Boxed Cereals

What do nine out of ten of the boxed cereals have in common? Sugar! There is only one cereal I have found at Wal-Mart that does not have any sugar and it is called Puffed Rice. Add a tablespoon of unadulterated honey to your bowel of puffed rice and be sugar free! Better yet, make oatmeal or granola and add your bee’s honey.

Eliminate Canned Fruits and Vegetables

Canned fruit is packed with high fructose corn syrup. What on earth for? Fruit is naturally sweet. Canned corn and many other vegetables have sugar or corn syrup in them. Read all labels on the canned foods you buy. Some foods are misleading and you wouldn’t think they would have sugar. Think again. If you are serious about cutting out sugar from your diet be sure to read all labels.
