In a previous blog, I shared with you how anxiety is believed to turn on the furnace in our cells, increasing inflammatory markers and putting us at risk of a wide range of disease from cardiovascular and digestive issues all he way to autoimmune and cancer…
To turn down this internal furnace, we need to stop fuelling the fire… one way of doing this, as I suggested in my earlier blog, is meditation… Meditation helps tune down the stream of thoughts that trigger our fight and flight and push us on over drive.
Another essential measure to stop fuelling the internal blaze is quitting sugar… Ya… you heard me right… you need to quit sugar! Sugar is highly addictive and inflammatory fuel that keeps the furnace burning. and, when your cells are on fire, your brain is on fire.
When I say sugar I do not just mean this white refined powder, sugars include all baked goods and refined grain flours. They all end up fuelling the same path…
It is hard, I know. Most of us, anxious folks, are already addicted!
This is why I invite you to join me on a 10 days sugar-free challenge… Just 10 days… You can do it! And trust me, you are going to feel a heck of difference… Just try it with me… 10 days starting tomorrow… I will leave 1 day to prepare and go vegetable shopping and clean your fridge pantry from all temptations.
