No proteins,essential fats,vitamins or minerals are present in sugar.Due to its effects on hormones and brain sugar has fat promoting effect.It leads to decreased satiety… and can get people addicted so that they lose control over their consumption.Not surprisingly, people who consume the most sugar are by far the most likely to become overweight or obese.

Desi chai without sugar?

On an average an Indian consumes 10-12 teaspoons of sugar in day to day life either through tea/coffee intake or other food items like sweets,processed food,fast food etc.Sugar has many types depending upon the food item the sugar is present in.Lets not get into the technicalities of it and focus on how sugar just gives you energy and nothing else.

Sugar in fruits

You must have definitely heard about sugar content in fruits.Fruits are considered healthy so why sugar is healthy.When it comes to sugar in fruits it is accompanied by fiber, vitamins, enzymes and other properties of the fruit/vegetable which slow sugar digestion and help the body deal with it more easily. Processed varieties, on the other hand, provide none of these benefits and instead create harmful effects of sugar in the body.So better take it in healthy form.

Does all of above sounds too much to you?Better stay healthy consuming natural foods(refer naturopathy.tips) than stay unfit hogging onto the processed food.
