Sugar Addict

Are you addicted to sugar? A lot of people are, and it can be a serious problem...

Addiction to sugar can be a serious problem. Most of us tend to crave something sweet from time to time, but someone who is addicted might binge, or consume huge amounts of sugar to get emotional relief. Processed sugar stimulates the brain reward centers, and can provide a sense of relief from anxiety. But that brief emotional high can have serious consequences Too much sugar can alter the body's biology and lead to depression and obesity.

Sugar is in practically everything we eat, so it's really difficult for an addict to kick the habit. Avoiding processed sugar all together is the best course of action, and that requires tons of will power. But it goes beyond candy and sweets. Processed and packaged foods should also be avoided, and replaced with foods in their natural state.
