Sugar Addiction: In Need of Sugar Detoxification
April 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Can a sugar addiction really affect a person’s life and health? Everyone knows someone who has a ‘sweet tooth’, but it is not usually considered an addiction.
In order to unravel the issues surrounding the consumption of refined sugar, let’s look at whether people ‘addicted’ to sugar are physically dependent on the substance or if they simply have a psychological urge to eat sugar. The scientific evidence on this subject is not yet conclusive, but there have been studies with rats that indicate that there is a physical dependence on sugar after regular consumption.
Not only do studies indicate problems with sugar dependence, but many individuals claim to suffer from withdrawal symptoms when denied sugar for a period of time. This process can be handled and a sugar addiction can be overcome with about a week or two of careful eating. By eliminating refined sugar and flour for two weeks and filling up with whole grains, vegetables, and low carbohydrate foods; you can give your body a chance to get through the withdrawal period. It is simpler than many detox diets. Once this is completed, you can re-introduce healthful sugars that are found in fruit and other natural sources in moderation. In this way, you can enjoy the tastes of sweet foods without craving them and relying on them.
Refined sugar is everywhere, from French fries to ketchup to salad dressing. Most people assume that savory foods do not contain sugar, but that is definitely not the case. Many recipes call for refined sugar for different reasons other than for producing an obvious sweet taste. Beware of labeling if you are trying to keep a sugar detoxification diet. Sugar is often referred to as corn syrup, sucrose, or other ‘sneaky’ terms.
Don’t assume that you could give up sugar any time you want to. Give it a shot and see if you can pull it off. If you have a lot of trouble, you may want to consider the possibility that you have a sugar addiction and need a detoxification program including a detox diet, will power, and information.

Get More Energy With The Raw Food Detox Diet
March 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Many people now swear by the benefits of a raw food detox diet. For this diet, only uncooked foos is consumed; hence you should be getting 100 percent of the available nutrition. Conversely, if you have cooked the same food, you would have lost up to 85 percent of the original nutritional value.
Raw food detox diet provides enzymes that help digest your food. Living foods not exposed to temperatures above 116 degrees Fahrenheit have their enzymes intact. If enzymes are absent, it just means that your body has to work harder to digest your meals. Enzyme-rich foods give you a more realistic and efficient energy source. They rapidly break down in our stomach, providing energy and nutrition instantly.
When you go on a raw food detox diet, you will find yourself filled with energy. Why you get the surge in energy is because energy that is usually used to digest cooked food is freed up for you to be spent on other activities, when eating raw. You have less need to sleep and rest as you feel rejuvenated.
Many athletes have found that light raw meals give a more sustainable form of energy and improve their performance. Students find that raw food detox diet gives them a more stable blood sugar level, helping them to think more clearly and stay more focused. Eating raw food is also known to enhance your beauty. Most of all, when you eat well you feel good — and feeling good is the essence of life.
It is a good idea to start going on a raw food detox diet gradually, to minimise harsh side effects. Then, slowly work to increase the amount of fresh foods in your cooked food diet. The cleansing process begins and helps flush out old toxins. Greens and fresh fruits are especially effective in pushing debris out of your cells and colon. These two primary raw food sources attune your body to eating more and more raw food.
