Kick Sugar Tip #2: Don’t Be Afraid of Salt!
Salt? Yes, salt.
It’s not always the bad guy it’s cracked up to be.
Remember when we thought all fat was bad? And then researchers started showing us that there were ‘good fats’ and ‘bad fats’, and the same is now happening with salt.
According to Robert Young of the pH Miracle Research Centre, what seems like a sugar craving could often be your body’s cry for healthy salts.
Remember, healthy mineral salts such as magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium bicarbonates are vital to the body’s functioning. Without them we suffer.
Put this to the test, it’s really easy: next time you have a craving for sugar or carbs, simply have half a teaspoon of pure sodium bicarbonate in 300ml of water.
See how the sugar craving simply evaporates. It’s magic!
Kick Sugar Tip #3: Bigger Brekkie
And on the subject of the blood sugar spiral…
One of the reasons why most people struggle with sugar cravings throughout the day (think mid-morning, mid afternoon…after big meals…etc) is because they start the day wrong!
Not having a solid breakfast instantly puts you in a blood sugar catastrophe!
Sugar cravings are way more in control and easy to avoid if you don’t let your blood sugar spike and then dip too low.
Having a breakfast containing fats and protein is a great idea.
Here are some ideas:
Alkaline Antioxidant Smoothie
Scrambled Tofu Mega Brekkie
Almost-Alkaline Quinoa & Apple Breakfast Warmer
Alkalizing Baked-Bean Salsa Brekkie
Chai Infused Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
Kick Sugar Tip #4: Use Cinnamon to Sweeten
This one is especially useful with breakfasts, and especially if you’re creating your own health and alkaline ‘cereals’ or having breakfasts like quinoa or organic oats.
In fact, even if you’re just having a nice glass of almond milk this one is a winner.
Use cinnamon to sweeten!
Numerous show that cinnamon regulates blood sugar, meaning it’s perfect for maintaining stable energy levels and moods.
PLUS it’s alkaline, anti-viral, fantastic for colon health, helps prevent blood clotting and is great for controlling cholesterol.
Whenever you’d think of needing a sweetener of some sort, try cinnamon instead!
