4 reasons that sugar is slowly killing you:
Published: Wed, 07/07/21
Most people think that if they eat sugar, they can just exercise a little bit harder that day or the next day so they can “burn it off”…
I am here to tell you that it is not that simple.
It’s about what sugar does internally to the cells of your body, and how sugar gums up your internal workings, causing disease.
Here are just a few of the reasons that sugar is killing you:
-- Sugar also causes extreme fluctuations in your blood sugar, and excess blood sugar causes Glycation inside your body, which accelerates the rate of aging of your organs, skin, arteries, and joints
-- Sugar raises your triglycerides to dangerous levels, which can lead you to heart disease
-- Eating sugar too frequently also causes type 2 diabetes in the long run because you wear out your pancreas and insulin sensitivity
-- Sugar also slows down your white blood cells , making infection more likely, and even allowing CANCER cells a better chance to form in your body.

In yesterday's email, I mentioned how we visited family in Missouri over the 4th of July Holiday.
So many fun times!!
It's funny though, one thing that always seems to come up in any kind of family gatherings, because everyone knows am a personal trainer, is the topic of nutrition.
Here's the comment I always hear:
"I know WHAT to do, it's just a matter of doing it"
And I always say, hmmmm...
Because yes, to a degree, people know it's better to eat a salad vs a hamburger (or maybe not! - but that's a discussion for another day)...
...but there are a lot of things that the majority of people really don't know about how to eat for fat loss, and how to sustain it... like the info on sugar we talked about at the beginning of this article.
I found a great resource that I highly recommend that goes into so many of these details that people don't completely understand, called "The Fat Burning Kitchen".
