5 Reasons to quit sugar....
Good Morning QLers, and have nice day ahead...!
Thinking about quitting sugar? Whether your version of giving up sweets mean skipping dessert or cutting out fruit, it seems like everyone these days is talking about quitting sugar. It turns out: it's for good reason.
Here are 5 reasons to quit sugar (your dashing good looks will thank you!)
1. Sugar begets sugar. Sure, you think you can just have one cookie. (But when do you really just have one cookie?!) And even if you refrain from diving into the whole box, sugar is addictive and that one cookies will lead to more tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.
2. Sugar can make you crazy (and sad). You see it in kids: give them birthday cake and they're literally mad? Turns out, the same thing happens to some adults, leading to a high followed by a toddle-tantrum-like crash. For others, sugar causes mood swings or even depression. Struggling to feel happy and looking for it in the candy aisle? Try this instead.
3. Sugar is causing your skin to breakout. When you eat sugar, you radially increase your blood’s glucose levels, triggering a rise in insulin, which both increases inflammation (making any clogged pores look way worse) and sets off a hormonal response that can cause your body to pump out more sebum (the pore-clogging oil). The result: more and gnarlier breakouts.
4. Sugar is making you look old. According to Goop-guru and wellness expert, Dr. Frank Lipman, “sugar reduces collagen and elastin in the skin and causes free radical damage leading to pre-mature aging, wrinkles and dull skin.” Bottom line: that lollipop may make you feel like a kid, but it's making you look decades older!
5. Sugar is making you sick. Sugar suppresses the immune system making you more likely to get sick – and stay sick longer. Wouldn't you rather use those sick days for vacation anyway?!
All the above are some very true facts.However,the harmful effects of sugar outweighs its merits.The body loses its immunity through high sugar intake and it is a risk factor in all types of Cancer.But,in today’s world, it can be tough to completely avoid sugar since it is so readily available.When all sweet delicacies including chocalates,pastries and the like are too tempting to resist,atleast eating less of the same should be one of our highest priorities.

@achabacha: agree with your comment "in moderate quantity" & sugar is one of the ageing factor...
Thanks for your valuable comment....
Sugar has many advantageous also. Sugar has a high calorie content that gives the body energy it lacks. Sugar'Sincs glycolic acid helps to maintain the health and look of one's skin. The glycolic acid in sugar is a natural ingredient derived from sugarcane or beet. Glycolic acid in sugar safely removes the outer layer of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin bringing in new layer of skin. It is a proven fact that diabetes is a genetic condition and results in eating the wrong foods which puts pressure on the pancreas. Since sugar has natural ingredients, it is easily processed by metabolism. In moderate quantities, sugar poses no health risks. Sugar cannot be blamed singly for ageing. A person's lifestyle, eating and sleeping habits, work-tensions, level of income, exercise, to name a few, may be some of the contributing factors toward ageing.
