Sugar Addicted?
Posted March 28th, 2010
Sugar. Frightening, but many don’t know that it can be more addictive than drugs like heroin or cocaine! Sugar addiction grows slowly, over time, like a thick vine steadily creeps over a tree choking and eventually killing it. Though sugar is deadly and dangerous, many of us continue to ignore the dangers until we are finally robbed of our health.
Do you crave sugar? Is sugar on your mind all day? Do visions of chocolates, sugary cereals or colorful snack packs dance in your head? If you secretly admit these cravings, or if this describes someone you know and love (your child, parent or best friend) – please read on.
A sure sign of sugar addiction is when a person feels moody when they don’t eat sugar. The smell, sight or touch of sugary foods can give you an instant high or rush and spark a craving. And when you are not eating sugar, you’re thinking about it. You can literally not go one day without it. And worse, when you eat sugar you tend to indulge or eat too much.
At The Renewal Point we have helped hundreds of people break the grip of this powerful obsession.
Once identified, we are relentless in resolving this common issue because it most often leads to even more devastating health problems such as obesity (and the poor self esteem associated with it), heart disease, diabetes and depression.
If you or someone you love is experiencing sugar addiction or its associated and dangerous implications, it is critical to find a physician with expertise in this field. For example, powerful brain chemicals and hormone imbalances must be corrected; and, specialized support for behavioral changes is a must. Meanwhile, medication to correct addictive cravings and depression is often necessary. Under Dr. Watts’ direction, we offer all of this.
The Renewal Point invites you to attend our next complimentary educational seminar and meet Dr. Watts and his staff. Please join us and bring your family and friends. You’ll hear the latest science and solutions for breaking sugar and carb urges. This positive message is sure to give you hope!
