Addiction comes in many forms. Little do we think of one being addicted to sugar. Sugar is said to be equally as addictive as cocaine to the human brain. Think about that cake in the grocery store and the attractive way the frosting glistens; before long, the mind is controlling the body to get in the vehicle and get it. We often forget that consuming mass amounts of sugar is detrimental to one's health. Luckily, both our McCully and Kailua Red Light Healing Centers' are open to assist in sugar related issues.
As sugar gets consumed, enzymes in the small intestine break it down into glucose. The glucose is then released into the bloodstream, where it is transported to tissue cells being converted into energy in the muscles and organs. Excess sugar passes from the blood into the urine, triggering a filtering process that draws tremendous amounts of fluid from the body which could lead to dehydration. As sugar intake remains high, the body’s ability to regulate it with insulin decreases causing diabetic situations.
Diabetes is a range of four diseases that result in high blood glucose or too much sugar in the blood. Type 1, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little to no insulin. Type 2, which is becoming more common, deals with the inability of the body to process sugar. Though currently one-third of american adults are prediabetic with 84% not knowing they are even at risk.
There is no cure for diabetes, though RLT helps all aspects of excess glucose, as it offers a natural, safe, side-effect-free treatment that can support your body's natural healing mechanisms. Studies show that after only four weeks of Red Light Therapy A1C levels dropped down to normal, under 5.7%. This is compared to levels of 6.5% or higher from diabetics not using Red Light.
Excess sugar causes everything from yeast and skin issues to blurred vision. RLT helps restore vision as it relieves inflammation within the eyeballs, allowing one to focus better. RLT is great for reducing blemishes and irritation while expediting the healing process. It promotes healthy cellular functioning in many of the body's systems by increasing cellular energy, reducing chronic inflammation, enhancing micro-circulation, and stimulating collagen production. With time and commitment many have been able to reduce their dependence on diabetic medications.
The average american consumes 72 grams of sugar daily, translating to over 57 pounds of weight each year. Luckily, adding RLT to one’s daily routine will help the lipids that hold onto fat disperse, as cellulite and fatty deposits melt away.
With the prediabetic numbers rising across the country, we should all aim to avoid sugar-sweetened drinks, white bread, rice, pasta, fruit yogurt, sweetened breakfast cereals, sweetened coffee drinks, agave nectar, maple syrup, and dried fruit. These increase inflammation and associated blood sugar levels.
There are also foods that have properties toward diabetes prevention such as, dark leafy greens, avocados, fatty fish, eggs, chia seeds, beans, nuts, broccoli, flax seeds and extra-virgin olive oil. These foods will also amplify the RLT benefits, causing one to experience more results with fewer sessions.
