Nine Steps to Control that Insatiable Sweet Tooth Sugar is a craveable ingredient. Eating sugar releases opioids and dopamine in our bodies. This is the link between added sugar and addictive behavior. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is a key part of the “reward circuit” associated with addictive behavior. It seems like everyone has that evil sweet tooth, and we must control our sugar cravings before they get the best of us. By getting these sugar cravings under control, then we have a better chance to maintain a healthy weight and live a healthier lifestyle. Listen to this podcast and watch the video to learn the 9 Tips to Control Sugar Cravings. Here’s nine steps to control your sweet tooth: The first step is awareness of how much sugar you are consuming daily. If you think you are indulging in the white stuff, then try cutting back by 50%. Count how much sugar grams you are taking in daily and remember it should be around 15 to 22 grams of sugar daily. Naturally occurring sugar from whole fruit can be utilized as an energy source as well to appease the sweet tooth instead of grabbing the simple carbohydrates. Reading labels to monitor your daily sugar intake will be crucial to getting it under control. Remember that any ingredient ending in “-ose” is probably derived from sugar. Quench the sugar craving with plain water since a dehydrated body will crave more sweets. Instead of waiting to become dehydrated, you can set an hourly timer to remind yourself to drink a large glass of water. Eat balanced meals with whole foods as opposed to processed foods that may contain hidden sugar ingredients. The key to balancing blood sugar is to eat foods that prevent too much insulin from being released, such as protein and healthy fats. Eating a clean food regime will start the detox and cleansing process and help prevent sugar cravings. Before reaching for a sugary treat, try adding greens to your meals and even bake them for healthy, crunchy and yummy snacks. If you must satisfy that sugar craving, then opt for a healthier alternative with natural sugars from fruits or a small piece of dark chocolate. Magnesium regulates glucose and insulin levels, as well as the neurotransmitter dopamine. A deficiency will cause intense sugar cravings, especially for chocolate. You may have a candida overgrowth that makes you crave more sugar. Taking an organic acid test, where you can check your markers and discover where the imbalances are to correct. Staying mindful of your sugar cravings and going deeper looking into why you think you need or want that sugar can uncover deep-rooted food issues and feelings that may be causing a vicious cycle in your body and mind. Learning how sugar negatively affects our health and contributes to weight gain, obesity, impaired memory, increased risk of heart disease, and diabetes may help you reduce your sugar intake.

Acid reflux is a common medical condition that can range in severity from mild to serious. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic, more severe form of acid reflux. Heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux and GERD. Most people experience chest discomfort or heartburn after eating or when they lie down or bend over.

Avoid coffee as it’s linked to worsening acid reflux and heartburn.  Avoid carbonated beverages or citrus juice as they are linked to worsening the condition.  Avoid trigger foods that can aggravate symptoms, such as fatty or greasy foods, chocolate, caffeine, mint, spicy foods, citrus, and tomato-based foods. Avoid chocolate and mint as they can worsen the symptoms. Avoid vaping, smoke or are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke. Most of the time, diet and lifestyle changes can help relieve or cure acid reflux symptoms (GERD) and heartburn.

Do you feel off after eating avocados, chocolate, nuts, spinach, legumes? Bloated with an upset stomach, fatigued, or a killer headache but can’t quite pinpoint what the culprit is? It may be your histamine release after eating certain foods. If you have histamine intolerance, then you will feel off when your body has trouble flushing histamine out. It’s super hard to diagnose since it can disguise itself as a food intolerance or seasonal allergy. I always recommend keeping a food journal to determine if there’s a pattern between what you eat and how you feel. Histamine ingested via food is stored in the tissues of the body. And when released, it keeps your organs functioning and body working. Responsible for smoothing muscle tissue of the lungs, uterus, and dilating blood vessels, stimulating gastric acid in the stomach, and accelerating your heart rate. The problem starts when someone isn’t able to metabolize the histamine compound. Feeling bloated, headache, exhausted, anxious, and experiencing GI issues, then you may want to look to reduce or avoid the following foods: aged cheeses, avocados, chickpeas, lentils, strawberries, citrus fruits, chocolate, curry, cinnamon, cashews, walnuts, tomatoes, bananas, eggplant, spinach, yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, processed meats, canned and pickled foods, smoked meats, vinegar, and alcoholic drinks, especially wine, champagne, and beer. Listen to the podcast or watch the video to learn what natural protocol you can use to assist with histamine related issues.  Disclaimer: You should always speak with your physician before taking any medication or nutritional, herbal or homeopathic supplement, or adopting any treatment for a health problem.
