Sugar- a sweet poison to health
Hi friends,
Modern therapeutics/ doctors recommend restriction on the consumption of sugar for the purpose of maintaining health. The ayurveda and the naturopathy recommend avoidance of sugar from diet. Harmless substances like honey and fruits should be substituted for sugar. Jaggery is produced from sugarcan juice. White sugar is also produced from sugarcane juice through modern process. Considering their nutritious elements, sugarcane juice is more beneficial to health than jaggery, but white sugar has no role as a nutrient.
If we think about past, then one of the causes of good health of our ancestors was the absense of white sugar in their diet. They maintained the health and energy because they obtained as much fructose as they wanted from raw food, vegetables and fruits. Some researchers says that there is no physiological requirement for sugar. The calories and energy required for the body are easily available from fruits, vegetables and grains.
The constitution of our blood is alkaline so dieticians advice us to eat edibles containing minerals. Sugar and sweets, after digestion leave acidic residue in the body which is harmful and injurious to health. The chemical process made upone sugar for whitening and purifying it destroys its nutritious properties. There is little or no amount of vitamins and minerals in sugar.
The consumption of huge amount of white sugar has led to diseases like dental decay and caries, diabetes, cardiac trouble and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The reckless use of sugar leads to migraine, dermatitis and renal disorders. Moreover, sugar increases the amount of cholestrol in the blood. Cholesterol accumulates in the inner surface of the arteries which consequently become narrow and hard. The heart has to work vigorously to push blood into such narrow arteries. Consequently the heart becomes exhausted and week. Sometimes it fails.
Thus we can analyse that the excessive use of sugar has adverse effects on health. Not only that, it also interrupts the smooth functioning of the body and the mind and leads to various diseases. That is why sugar is considered a sweet poison by dieticians.
