If you consume soft drinks, energy drinks, cereals, candies, ice cream, packaged goods, and even coffee with added syrup, you are likely to consume more sugar.
if you abstain from sugar for 15 Days:
You Will Have A Healthier Gut.
If you gave up sugar, your gut microbiome would be more balanced. In the gut, there are trillions of bacteria, some of which consume sugar and make toxic byproducts.
Beneficial bacteria decline in the intestines when there is an excess of sugar. A disruption in the ideal bacterial balance can result in intestinal conditions including celiac disease and ulcerative colitis.
Additionally, consuming too much sugar impairs intestinal barrier performance and raises the risk of inflammation and infection. This disorder is referred to as leaky gut syndrome.
You Will Feel Less Hungry
When you consume refined sugar, your body produces more insulin. Insulin is a critical hormone that aids in the regulation of blood sugar levels.
When your blood sugar rises sharply after eating, your body may produce an excess of insulin, causing your blood sugar to fall below normal levels.
This is known as a blood sugar crash. Hunger, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, headaches, difficulty concentrating, shakiness, and dizziness are all symptoms of a sugar crash.
Pre-diabetics and diabetics are more likely to experience a sugar crash.
When you stop eating sugar, the foods you eat no longer cause a spike in your blood sugar levels. As a result, changes in your glucose levels would be less extreme than when you were eating sugar.
That’s why you will feel less hungry and less exhausted after eating a meal.
Your Skin Will Look Better.
Diet has a significant impact on your skin. Sugar contributes to common skin diseases such as acne.
In a 2007 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, acne patients were given a low-glycemic-index diet, which meant their glucose levels were better controlled. Their total acne lesion counts decreased more than control groups with an energy-dense, high glycemic index diet due to lower blood glucose levels.
Sugar also contributes to skin aging by destroying the structure of collagen. Collagen is a protein that is essential for skin repair and protection.
This is why avoiding sugar may result in younger-looking and healthier skin.
