SUFFERING FROM EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE SUGAR INTAKE? HERE ARE 7 CHEAP NATURAL CURES YOU MIGHT NEED.

in #health7 years ago (edited)

A few days ago i wrote about sugar and it's dastardly effects, which obviously accumulate over time. These are problems which most of course are simply "assymptomatic" for a while, then manifest into the beginning of the end of the one who does the excessive sugar intake.

BUT there are some really crazy effects of excessive sugar intake. Oh, which of them isn't crazy?

BUT SOME ARE DEAD SCARY CRAZY!

Some of these effects include:

Brain damage
liver damage
kidney failure
i hope you know how much a dialysis costs and how much it'll cost to fly you to the U.S or INDIA for a kidney replacement, that's if you eventually find a compatible donor who wont milk you dry of all savings and money donated to you for treatment.

I don't mean to creep you out though, the truth is sometimes scary. But not to worry we all love sugary things and in these times we find ourselves, it might seem quite hard to do bitter things. But here are cheap and natural homemade remedies if you notice there's a problem as a result of excessive sugar intake.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER,

NUMBER 1
APPLE
On this one, the saying which goes "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away" is actually not a fallacy.
Apples are super rich in antioxidants they are known to contain flavanoids and dietary fiber.

"The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease."

a quick diversion,
what are antioxidants?
antioxidants are substances that prevent the destruction of our body's, these destruction is what leads to an overall effect of aging. so in one sentence, antioxidants prevent us from aging fast amongst others!

what are flavanoids?
in my words, flavanoids are plant pigments that have similar chemical base with that of flavones and flavones are crystalline compounds which form the basis of some white and yellow plant pigments...(i'll save you all the pharmaceutical and biochemistry jargons)

Let's get back to business

NUMBER 2
Bitter kola
This one is my favourite, i eat it most times and when i offer this to any of my friends, i get that usual reaction.

nah! thanks i'll pass

spinach also does most of what the afforementioned fruits and vegetables do.

"The various health benefits of spinach are due to the presence of minerals, vitamins, pigments, and phytonutrients, including potassium, manganese, zinc, magnesium, iron, and calcium. Spinach is a green vegetable which has a very wide distribution. It can be grown as a backyard crop or bought from the market at affordable prices. It is a source of vitamins like folate, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and contains traces of the rest of the essential vitamins."

...so if like me, you don't want to die the sugar or toxin death, you better do a visit to your local fruit market and get some fresh cure to those cryptic snowballing health issues

This is a course in my line of study.. Part of a particular departmental course...welldone...sugar does the body no good..I enjoyed reading this.

wow, i'm glad the truth of my point is buttressed by what you've studied. thanks for reading sweet mentor.

Note, if you live where there's a lot of mosquitoes, you probably don't want to gorge on lemons. Research shoes that increased vitamin-c could make you more susceptible to malaria.

I don't like sugar and I don't like all this other garlic, spinach things either. I guess it's "an apple every other day" for me then .

Great post.

That's educative . I have being hearing about the importance of kola. I just read it myself today

thanks for reading, i'm glad you got somethings from it

Very informative article. I have for long been pondering on who to go about the reduction of sugar in my system but here I learnt alot I shall stick to this your point

This is a very educative post, for the garlic, are we supposed to cook with food or a is there a special method for the sugar reduction technique?

U can swallow, chew or cook it depending on which suits you. Thanks for reading

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful health post.

you're absolutely welcome sir

Educative post.. Atleast I can now see the importance of this herbs

their importance can't be overestimated

I personally disagree with apples and carrots. Both are high in carbs and will spike insulin. Insulin is exactly what causes addiction.

you might want to do a deeper research on those
