But sugar is, I am told, 8 times more addictive than cocaine!
As a result of it being addictive, the natural tendency is to want more and more of our calorie intake to taste like dessert! This is deadly because sugar contains next to no nutrition.
A healthy diet is about giving the body the nourishment it needs to keep it energised & functions optimally. This is my purpose with Healthelicious. To so thoroughly nourish a body
So for every mouthful of dessert you eat you should be looking to boost your intake of super nutrients.
In a perfect diet the calorie intake would be matched with the nutrient requirements – the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients.
Most people get too few nutrients for their calorie intake. So the body says, “That’s great! Thanks for the calories. WHERE’S THE NUTRITION?! Keep eating!”
So, more and more people are becoming overweight or obese AND malnourished.
