Fighting Sugar Addiction the BioNatures Way

"Addiction to sugar is probably more common than you think. Americans consume an average of 20 to 30 teaspoons (about ½ cup!) daily of this substance, which has been linked to a variety of health problems, including obesity, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), attention and memory problems, hyperactivity, anxiety, and depression. Every month a new study comes out adding to the list of dangers posed by consuming sugar and its cousins, high-fructose corn syrup, maltose, and dextrose. Despite the risks, we continue to eat sugar because it is so addictive." (read the entire article featured on Yahoo Health News here)

A few of these include: eating enough healthy food to satisfy your hunger, eating three regular meals each day that combine complex carbohydrates, lean protein and healthy fats, and getting regular exercise, plenty of sunlight, and adequate sleep to reduce sugar cravings.

According to recent article by Salyyn Boyles of WebMD Health News, "Not getting enough sleep or having poor sleep habits can trigger migraines or cause occasional migraines to become frequent. Now new research may help explain the biological links between sleep and headache pain. Pain researchers from Missouri State University report that rats deprived of REM sleep showed changes in the expression of key proteins that suppress and trigger chronic pain. The sleep-deprived rats secreted high levels of proteins that arouse the nervous system and low levels of proteins that shut it down, lead researcher Paul L. Durham, PhD, tells WebMD."
