Episode 214
Are you addicted to sugar and sweets? This week’s episode of the podcast is for you. First, we set the parameters of what a detox actually is, and why we actually want to use awareness around using “detoxing” phrasing. While sugar itself isn't inherently bad, excessive consumption, especially from ultra-processed foods, can negatively impact health. Strength training and balanced eating negate the need to fear sugar, though moderating ultra-processed sugar intake can be beneficial to anyone. Sustainable health practices, like regular exercise, eating whole foods, and sleep, are the best approach to wellness.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Is Sugar Bad For You?
- Do You Need A Sugar Detox?
- Signs You're Having Too Much Sugar
- The Impact Of Sugar In Fitness
- How To Reduce Sugar Intake For Better Results
- Benefits Of Reducing Sugar Intake
