Come to the calm of a well functioning brain.
We all crave it. That sugar rush.... It is actually linked to the part of the brain that is connected to other addictions, such as heroin or cocaine. It is hidden in many foods. White bread anyone? The average American eats 152 pounds of sugar a year. That means that we have to eat 44 teaspoons a day. Children consume an average of 34 teaspoons a day. I see it happen all of the time, people offering children sweets. We get them kicked off early with this problem or addiction, we could call it. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 teaspoons a day for women and children. (This can also be found in the juice that we consume.) Men get to have a little more, 9 teaspoons a day.
What happens when we eat starch, potatoes, corn, rice or other grains is that it is converted into sugar rather quickly. All of these variables add up to a great deal of weight gain and health issues. Personally I like grains so I need to watch how much I eat a day. I found that whole grain bread is better than whole wheat. I have also found that fats are good. Did I say that? They help you to burn fat. Fats help you to feel full and they speed up the metabolism. This needs to be good fats, coconut oil, good olive oil or MCT. I have not tried the last one. These fats also help the brain to function at a better level. So try LENS and get your brain and metabolism hopping at a good rate.
