Читать книгу Sugar Addicts’ Diet - Nicki Waterman - Страница 6

For many of us, being told how something can affect our health in the future is a big yawn. We’re told smoking can kill us and the sun can age us. Now we’re being told that sugar is one of our biggest enemies. It seems everyone’s out to get us. But many of us have the philosophy, ‘Why deprive yourself now on the off-chance that you will get ill in years to come?’

While eating sugar might not send you to the grave, it can lead to problems such as obesity and related illnesses that can make your life a misery. Symptoms or conditions linked to eating too much sugar may not be life-threatening but they can certainly threaten your quality of life. Even the government is now worried about the amount of sugar in our diets and has pledged to put it on its health ‘hit list’ after salt. And even before you start to suffer from the types of medical condition outlined in Chapter 4, chances are you’re already suffering from sugar overload. This can lead to troublesome symptoms that spoil your sense of health and wellbeing.
