3 things you should know about sugar

Our body’s can only process 1 teaspoon in our bloodstream at a time

1. It affects your sleep

2. To stay in a fasted state you need to consume less than 15g of carbs/sugar per day. Most Americans ingest 75g per day since it’s hidden in food. I wonder why so many people are sick?

3. We have 100,000 calories of fat storage and only 2,000 calories of glycogen storage.

Sugar can significantly affect various aspects of your health, including weight management and metabolic functions. For instance, excessive sugar intake contributes to insulin resistance, making it a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. Moreover, by consuming more than the recommended daily limit (15g for optimal fasting), individuals may experience sleep disturbances, energy crashes, and cravings. The average American's sugar consumption often exceeds 75g per day, mainly due to hidden sugars in processed foods. Understanding food labels and recognizing sugars in everyday products is essential for anyone looking to improve their health. Reducing sugar can also aid in better weight management, as our body stores an impressive amount of fat (around 100,000 calories) compared to only 2,000 calories of glycogen. Therefore, adopting a sugar-conscious lifestyle not only promotes better sleep and reduces health risks but also empowers you towards a healthier, more energetic life.
