Did you know that sugar and processed foods are as addictive as narcotics and drugs!

Eating sugar artificially stimulates a region of your brain called the “nucleus accumbens” to produce dopamine, the pleasure neurotransmitter. Soon, dopamine levels drop, and we start to feel “flat”… or a bit “down.”

We crave this pleasant, feel-good feeling again — so sugar leads to addiction. By choosing natural foods, rather than those that are processed, you’ll limit cravings for sugar and other processed foods.
