Are You Addicted To Cancer’s Favorite Food and Prime Driver?

Did you know the addictive nature of sugar rivals that of cocaine, morphine, and cigarettes?  Sugar is as addictive ad a Class A drug.  So in other words, it’s not your fault that you crave it, it’s designed to make you want more.
It’s no accident recovering alcoholics often turn to sugar as they cut out alcohol—it’s an easily available drug. According to a 2008 study out of Princeton University, “rats eating large amounts of sugar when hungry, a phenomenon [known as] sugar-bingeing, undergo neurochemical changes in the brain that appear to mimic those produced by substances of abuse.”

In addition to the detrimental effects of sugar shown in these studies, sugar has been linked to weakened immunity, even feeding certain cancers! Every teaspoon of sugar weakens your immune systems strength for up to 4 hours.  Now imagine how hard it would be to stay healthy most of the time, if you consistently drink sodas, which average 10 teaspoons of sugar in, one can.  It’s a huge stressor on your body’s system.

In fact, according to researchers at University of California, San Francisco, “sugar in the amounts consumed today pose a huge health risk-contributing to around 35 million deaths globally each year, including cancer.”  An increasing number of medical scientists and alternative practitioners know that the most logical, safe, necessary and inexpensive way to treat and/or compliment cancer therapies is to cut off the primary supply of food to tumors and cancer cells, starving them of glucose.  Sugar feeds tumors.  “It’s been known since 1923 that tumor cells use a lot more glucose than normal cells”, so by staying on a Ketogenic diet (a diet where most calories are provided through fats), you use a strategy known as selective starvation of tumors by dietary modification.  If you’re ever visiting a friend who’s dealing with this disease, please do NOT BRING them cookies, candy or baked goo ds.

Sugar is found in most processed foods, fruit juice, and sports drinks (in the form of high fructose corn syrup). It’s also in most of the desserts we grew up with and enjoy at holidays and birthdays; it’s hard to resist this ubiquitous substance’s seductive spell.

Don’t beat yourself up, that your weak, have no willpower, just have to have it, will do anything to get it, need it to stay up, need it to pay attention and more….  It’s designed to make your body and mind crave it. 

This is one reason why it is so important to wean yourself with a detox.  A detox doesn’t have to mean eat grass, weeds and sticks…. A solid detox can be food based so it gradually allows you to change your body by changing your cravings.  I know because I used to crave three Rice Krispee treats at a time and I had a crazy addiction to Swedish fish and Twizzlers.  I don’t have to fight that battle anymore, because my body literally doesn’t want that (and I mean crave it at all).

Fortunately, there are healthful ways to beat back even the most powerful sugar cravings.

Cutting Cravings Naturally
Cravings are a method by which your body communicates with you about what you may be lacking, and they should not be ignored. However, what you think is a call for sugar is likely something else:

• Protein – eating protein-rich foods like meat, nuts, and beans gives your body a steady source of energy, therefore dampening signals for quick (empty) energy found in sweets.

• Healthy Saturated Fat – adding coconut oil, avocado or grass-fed butter to your diet provides solid sustenance for your body and brain, which can help beat back cravings.

• Omega-3s – a deficiency of alpha-linoleic-acids (ALAs or bioavailable omega-3s) can cause sweet foods to taste less sweet, which means you crave more of them to satisfy the flavor.³ Up your intake of chia seeds, walnuts, and wild salmon to prevent this.

• Water – dehydration can trigger sugar cravings; drink 12 ounces of water when your next craving hits.  You can also try Rockin’ Wellness to minimize the cravings and give you massive satisfaction.

• Sleep – fatigue stresses your body, but the quick boost you seek in sugar only provides a temporary lift. Instead, take a 15-20 minute nap if lack of sleep is the culprit.

• Exercise – moving your body (especially walking outside) helps keep cravings at bay because you get a potent hit of serotonin—a feel-good chemical that’s also released when you eat sugar.  Try a HIIT Class or get out and ride your bike now that Spring is here

• Cinnamon can cut cravings for sugar.  This spice helps to balance sugar levels and squash cravings.  Try sucking on a cinnamon stick, eating Myrna’s Skinny Crisps, or Sammi’s Cinnamon millet & flax chips.

• Ocotea essential oil from Young Living.  This oil can help to balance blood sugar levels by putting 1 drop on your tongue and can also reduce cravings.

• Love  – cravings for sugar-laden comfort food often point to a psychological yearning for companionship. Spend more time socializing or engaging in your favorite activities and your cravings may fade.

In the meantime, here’s a trick of mine:
I melt some Vita Chocolate over the stove till it’s creamy and then I dip fresh strawberries, raspberries and pineapple into it for a deep satisfaction of sweet goodness filled with anti-oxidants and craving satisfying taste.  

My second, just as effective go to solution, is a giant cold fresh Rockin’ Wellness Shake.  I have been drinking it for over 2 years and I felt an immediate difference in my body immediately.  I have recommended this shake to clients for years.  The ingredients are mineral and nutrient dense, meaning you get a lot of nutrition in one drink.  It also is designed to balance blood sugars and control cravings safely.
