Most of us swim in sugar during times of celebration, and it can be hard to cut back afterwards. On average, we consume 17 teaspoons of added sugar each day- the equivalent of about 80 small jelly beans!
Excess sugar consumption is tied to an increased risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death for both men and women. A surplus of added sugar has also been linked to type 2 diabetes and cancer risk and may negatively affect psychological health.
Below are five tips to help you cut back on sugar and make it through the dreaded after-the-celebration sugar detox!
1. Hydration Station
- Water with Lemon Juice, I love adding in YL Lemon Vitality
- Coconut Water
- Adding electrolytes to your water, most effortless way? Add a pinch of Sea Salt or grab YL's Vitality Drops
- Bone Broth is even great
2. Probiotics
Foods with Probiotics or a Probiotic Supplement will help even out your gut bacteria. I prefer Life 9 from YL
3. Protein, fat, and greens
Pretty simple; protein, healthy fats & leafy greens
4. Activated charcoal
Charcoal is fantastic for clearing your system.
5. Move
Walking, Biking, or a hike. Just get out and exercise. Exercising will help significantly in the detox process.
