The American Heart Association is now recommending reducing the intake of added sugars.
A new study found the following:
- High intake of added sugars is implicated in numerous poor health conditions, including obesity, high blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
- Added sugars and solid fats in food, as well as alcoholic beverages are categorized as “discretionary calories” and should be eaten sparingly.
- Most American women should consume no more than 100 calories of added sugars per day; most men, no more than 150 calories.
- Soft drinks and other sugar-sweetened beverages are the number one source of added sugars in the American diet
The American Heart Association’s recommendations echo what we have been teaching our clients for years. High level consumptions of added sugars lead to obesity and increase your risk of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease. Many of our clients have successfully used hypnosis to help them eliminate cravings for sugars, sweets and carbohydrates.
Bob S. came to see us after suffering a heart attack and completing a Cardiac Rehab program. He had already began making some positive lifestyle changes through Cardac Rehab but was still struggling with intense cravings for sugars and carbohydrates. After completing one of our Hypnosis Weight LossPrograms, we are very proud to say that Bob has lost 20 pounds. Bob says, “I don’t crave in between meals and healthy snacks, I am eating healthier foods, I exercise 4 times a week at a gym and I have a more positive attitude and a brighter outlook on life.” Probably the best thing about Bob’s experience is that he has lowered his cholesterol and his blood sugar is now under control and what he says is the best it has been in 15 years.
We would like to say congratulations to Bob on a job well done and to our readers, if you or someone you know wants to lose weight and improve your health, our hypnosis weight loss programs may be the answer that you have been looking for.
