The Sweet Danger Of Sugar

 

THE SWEET DANGER OF SUGAR:

1. Can lead to weight gain:

Consuming sugar can increase your hunger and desire for food. It also causes resistance to leptin which is a hormone that regulates hunger and tells your body to stop eating.

2. May lead to heart-related disease:

High sugar diet leads to heart-related disease. Consuming too much sugar can cause inflammation, obesity, high triglycerides in blood sugar, and high blood pressure levels leading to a high risk of heart disease.

3. Increase risk for type 2 diabetics:

High sugar intake causes resistance to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels. Insulin resistance causes blood sugar levels to rise which leads to a high risk of diabetics.

4. Accelerate skin aging process:

Consumption of sugar leads to the production of AGEs ( Advanced glycation end products) which play a key role in skin aging.

5. Drains your energy:

Food that is high in sugar quickly spikes blood sugar levels and insulin levels leading to increased energy followed by a sharp drop in blood sugar levels. This leads to major fluctuations in energy levels.

Let the experience of life be sweeter than your food. Sugar is a sociopath of foods, it acts sweet.... but it's really poison. So make wise choices.

  Motherhood, Career & Me: The Moment I Chose Myself She looked at the clock—11:45 PM. The house was finally silent. The kids were asleep, emails were answered, and tomorrow’s to-do list had already started forming in her mind. She sat down for a moment, scrolling through old pictures on her phone. A selfie from years ago popped up—smiling, radiant, full of life. A woman she barely recognized now. Somewhere between back-to-back meetings, school pickups, late-night presentations, and making sure everyone else was okay… she had forgotten about herself. She wanted to work out, but there was always something "more important." She wanted to read a book, but exhaustion won every time. She wanted to dress up and feel beautiful, but when was the last time she even bought something for herself? And the worst part? The guilt. The guilt of wanting time for herself. The guilt of spending an hour at the salon instead of finishing that work report. The guilt of choosing a solo coff...

WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE

WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE When I first read this sentence from Mahatria's cover page ( my guru) it took me 5 years back when life gave me a chance to quit my dream job or take a plunge and be an entrepreneur and start my own consulting company. It was the toughest decision of my life. The feeling of insecurity, self-doubt, anxiousness, anxiety, and fear of failure lingered around me for months. I just took a leap of faith and revisiting those years I feel so blessed to have made that decision. Life gives us several such chances to think, accept and act and based on that we have three kinds of people: 1. Thinker: Who thinks, find possible excuses to convince he/she can't do it and give up even without trying. 2. Give up Think and start the journey and leave halfway. 3. Succeed: One who thinks accepts and takes necessary steps to succeed learning from failures. Life always gives you a second chance what you do with it, is what defines your journey. Just remember "It's NEVE...
