My otherhalf and I chose to gaveup sugar for a month. Nowadays, you can’t toss a cronut without striking a thought-provoking expose on how sugar is damaging humankind one illness at a time.
Before choosing to gaveup sugar for a month, we understood that having too much wasn’t excellent for us. But too much of anything isn’t great for you. I desired to discover out for myself the advantages of givingup sugar.
I desire to live a long time, and a lot of individuals state that sugar triggers all sorts of health issues, from heart illness to liver illness. I delightin life and the individuals in it.
