Usuario:Gaia’s Protocol Review1
Sugar reacts with proteins, forming little plaques Gaia’s Protocol known as AGE (advanced glycation end products). Dr. Mark Hyman says "these crusty sugar-protein combos gum up your brain, leading to dementia, and damage most cells and tissues along the way." Cut down on sugar or eliminate it entirely! Caffeine is known to increase anxiety and depression. Everyone knows how caffeine can result in increased alertness and wakefulness, faster and clearer thought flow, and increased focus.
However, in great quantities, it results in insomnia, agitation, tremors, and even rapid breathing. Caffeine stimulates the heart and dilates the blood vessels. This can contribute to an increase in blood pressure. Caffeine fits into the description of an addictive substance, including withdrawal symptoms and physical cravings. Where do you measure up on the caffeine-addiction scale? Dr. Hyman states that both of these "drugs," as he refers to them, damage your brain. Addiction to them seriously damage it.
The more frequently you partake of them and the longer you use them, the more damage they do. Moderate use is okay, but regular indulgence is a guarantee of premature brain aging and mood disorders. An easy solution is to adopt healthy substitutes. Begin to train your body to enjoy fresh fruits in place of sweetened desserts and drinks. I find that when I stop eating cookies, the pineapple or strawberry I snack on tastes really, really sweet! Use honey in place of sugar and slowly reduce the quantity you need. You will train your tastebuds to require less.
