Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a natural herb that can help overcome sugar addiction in 21 days? A short video explains how. (Plus I’m going to reveal two other natural fixes shown to help balance sugar levels)
If it’s ever happened to you, you know it’s something far beyond will-power. Maybe you’re at your computer or watching T.V. But suddenly your thoughts turn to that half-eaten carton of ice cream in the frig. You’re not at all hungry and you know you don’t need the calories, but you become almost obsessed with it. Finally, you get to the fridge, spoon in hand, and you dig in. It isn’t a lack of willpower that got you, it’s a full-on addiction.
The same brain receptors that can lead to drug and nicotine addictions also let you become addicted to sugar.
Just like Pavlov’s dogs, certain activities or habits (like browsing Facebook) may be compelling you to eat sugary foods. Or it could be certain surrounding, smells, sounds, or circumstances.
Know once you can wrap your mind around this concept, and understand it’s not a matter of personal weakness, you can take the first step to overcome cravings.
For some people, changing their behavior is all that’s needed to stop eating sugar. But, if you crave sugar because you’re dependent on it or are physically addicted to it, environmental and behavioral changes may not cut it for you. (note: using artificial sweeteners won’t help!)
The Secret: Don’t tell your BRAIN that you’re eating sugar!
According to Dr. Bart Hoebel, a neuroscience addiction researcher at Princeton University, “it’s the sweet taste of sugar that generates the surge of dopamine and opioids – brain chemicals that drive the addiction process.”
Introducing the “Sneaky Herb:”
Gymnema sylvestre, well know by diabetics for lowering blood sugar levels, can prevent you from tasting sugar. It actually binds to your taste buds on your tongue and stops your tongue from signaling your brain to release dopamine. This will help you with your sugar cravings. Hovere, you can expect to experience the effects of sugar withdrawal until your body overcomes it.
As you have just seen, you can defeat the cycle of physical addiction by preventing your brain from receiving its sugar fix.
Try These Natural “Fixes” If You Suffer From High Blood Sugar
Natural fix one: Benfotiamine – Helps prevent sugar spikes.
Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine and protects your cells from sugar damage.
Benfotiamine is commonly taken at the oral dose of 300-600mg over the course of the day, usually in two divided doses with meals (150mg or 300mg twice daily).
Natural fix two: Cinnamon – Lowers blood sugar levels.
Cinnamon supports insulin activity, helps your body metabolize sugar better, lowers fasting blood sugar as well as blood pressure.
Important note about cinnamon. Raw whole cinnamon contains fat-soluble toxins that need to be removed before taken. Look for the cinnamon water-soluble derivative MCHP (cinnamon extract) in stores.
Disclaimer: as will all supplements its always worth it to talk to your doctor to see if it’s safe for you and always stay within the recommended daily dosing and finally read the warnings and precautions.
