The dangers of sugar addiction
How do we reduce sugar
01. Rebuild the brain reward system
We can try to reactivate the reward system of the brain that we want, such as repeatedly obtaining fresh ingredients and savoring them carefully; Repetitively do your favorite exercise when you're in a bad mood instead of drinking sugary drinks. Doing this over and over again will make you remember the cycle and gradually change your brain's reward system to help you get rid of sugar cravings.
02Choose a progressive sugar reduction method
We can choose foods with different sugar contents, and gradually switch from high-sugar foods to low-sugar foods. For example, people who love coffee can drink sugary and milky coffee, and then slowly convert to drinking pure coffee.
03. Avoid emotional eating
When people have certain emotions, they will especially want to eat certain foods, especially high-sugar and high-fat foods. If you find yourself relying on food to vent your emotions, you may want to try some of the right emotional relief methods first, such as reading a book or running.
04. Reduce refined food
Choose low-fat, high-fiber, low-glycemic load, and satiety carbohydrate foods, such as whole grains, whole wheat bread, corn, purple potatoes, etc. Eat enough protein with a reasonable meal, reduce hunger, and improve basal metabolism. Learn to read the ingredient list, do not actively drink sugary drinks, and try to choose fresh, low-sugar fruits or sweet products with natural sweeteners to satisfy the feeling of "sweetness".
