Happy Valentine’s Day! Are you in LOVE with sugar?
When we sugar, it activates similar parts in our brain and releases similar brain chemicals as when we experience emotions such as love, affection, sympathy, empathy, being cared for, being hugged, being appreciated, being rewarded, being acknowledged.
Often, when we crave these emotions, we experience cravings for sugar – but this happens at a very sub-conscious level, so we don’t really know it’s going on. We simply crave sugar and don’t know why.
In this article, I explain more about where sugar cravings come from, but more importantly, what we can do to reduce sugar cravings.

And constantly high cortisol makes you age quicker!
