5 Ways to Remove Sugar From Your Life

We, as a society, are eating way too much sugar. The result is a huge increase in (preventable) chronic illness, obesity, and poor health.

We have the power to prevent this illness and disease in our bodies and lives by removing or, at least, reducing the amount of sugar we consume.

As you may have heard, studies are now showing that sugar is just as addictive as some hard drugs, because it creates the same release of “feel good” chemicals in the brain. This means that it can be challenging to quit, but your health is worth it.

Here are 5 ways that you can use to overcome your sugar addiction and get on the path to excellent health.

5 Ways to Remove Sugar from Your Life

  1. Get a massage

Focus on giving yourself the best self-care you possibly can. This might mean asking your significant other to give you a good rub down, or booking regular professional massages. Aren’t into massage? Try another form of touch-based therapy like acupuncture, facials, or reflexology.

  1. Have a cup of tea with stevia

Replace your late-night snacking with a calming cup of herbal tea, sweetened with stevia. The tea will help you relax, and the non-sugar sweetness of stevia will give you the mental satisfaction without the harmful side-effects of sugar.

  1. Eat a piece of fruit

It’s called nature’s candy for a reason. Fresh fruit is the perfect substitute for candy and processed treats when you feel your sweet tooth coming on. Fruit contains vitamins, minerals, and fiber that are essential for a healthy body.

  1. Move your body

Crank up the Taylor Swift and get a dance party going in your living room. Take a walk around the neighborhood with your dog. Call up a friend and hit your favorite zumba class. Whatever kind of movement you enjoy, do more of it.

  1. Uncover what you’re really craving

Oftentimes when we feel sugar cravings coming on, it’s not about food. Emotional cravings can show up as food cravings if we aren’t paying attention. Think about what might be missing from your life on an emotional level. Are you craving a calm, stress-free environment? Are you craving social connection? Touch base with yourself and address what’s lacking in your life.

Seminar for Healthy Aging, Losing Weight and Healthy Living Hosted by Joan of Health

Huntington Harbour Athletic Club is proud to present a free seminar hosted by Joan of Health. Joan is a Board Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach and will be hosting a free seminar from 11:00 – 11:30 at the gym.

A little about Joan and her philosophy (from her website):

“I believe that most of us do know the difference between foods that are good for us and foods that are truly polluting our bodies… I believe that most of us do want to eat healthier and know how but we don’t… why is this??

Are you stressed out? Too busy? Confused by all the choices? Don’t have enough time? Not inspired? Living an Un-healthy lifestyle (or living with someone who is unhealthy) and do not know how to change? Scared that you have to give up going out for meals, having a glass of wine or partying with your friends? Feeling frustrated and overwhelmed?

Don’t worry…losing weight and transitioning to a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you have to give up your social life or do anything drastic….it simply means learning what to eat so you feel healthy, happy, thin, energetic and confident!

Guess what?? I have been there and understand what you are going through and I am here for you now! I was in the food industry for over 25 years and I know first hand what you have been eating and how The Standard American Diet is making you sick and fat… GUESS WHAT?? It is not your fault…once you learn how to eat and exercise, Losing Weight and Feeling Great will be as easy as brushing your teeth!! That is my PROMISE to you!!

Let me help you get back on the path to losing weight by ending food confusion, fear and insecurity.

At the end of the day, the real reason you are overweight and struggling. It is not your fault.”

 

Join us Saturday, February 8 from 8-12 for our Valentine’s Day Boutique and Open House and drop in the seminar for a fresh start to the new year.
