You are so sweat - Sugar! by Ni Zain

Okay, I know. Sugar is one of the things hard to talk about. Nearly everyone is this whole wide world is by today addicted to sugar. I would rate it as the biggest and most dangerous drug in the world. But... I admit. I love it too. And here comes another but... I am weaning of the drug and... I understand the picture about why sugar is become such a problem for human kind in general. To make clear: I am talking about the empty white sugar. Not all these other wonderful sweats like palm sugar, honey and natural sweeteners like Stevia or simply dates, raisins or other dry fruits. White sugar is actually an imitation of something else. Nobody knows what...

From childhood on, I was used to get high levels of sugar in any kind of form. Cakes, sweats, gums, chocolate, soft drinks, etc... I know them all. By the time I was around 10 years, I remember that my sugar intake was uncontrollable anymore. Looking back I would say I had a hardcore addiction. Until my teens I was a super slim and healthy girl. Once I started to get into puberty the problems started. I believe I had my first yeast infection with around 13 years. The hormonal changes showed the truth of my health - bad. I got acne, put on a lot of weight until I was around 25 years. I never could say at any point that I was ever healthy again. Still living on lots of sugar and wheat. I had this nasty fungal infection until the age of 34 years. High sugar and wheat intake has spoiled a lot of my life time...But I did not really know better, as I just did what everyone else did. If I would have known and understood at that time! But nobody ever really got into checking my diet.

So why is sugar so powerful?

To understand where the problem really sits you need to know the most important fact:

When we craving for sugar - We craving for vitamins and minerals out of sweat food - Fruits!

In craving for sweats our body signalizes us: I am leaking certain kind of vitamins out of fruits. For me to understand this part of the process was a key to understand what is happening to us.

So, get this now: You craving for sugar. You eat a piece of cake. You got some energy, got some (very little) nutrition, but in putting sugar into your body, you also lowered your immune level up to 75%. When your body has to deal with the sugar, it has to burn more vitamins, minerals and energy. So within short time your body craves for what again? Sweat! Because it still has not got the requested vitamins from the fruits. With eating a piece of cake you even got a bigger lack of vitamins than you had before. So this is the point you now already shaking and you going for the rest of the box of chocolate in the fridge. This is why now you cannot stop anymore. This is why kids once they got one piece of sweat, they want more. Increased craving for sweats is actually an alarm bell of the body to tell us it was losing high amounts of vitamins and minerals.

The food industry knows this and works with it. They putting sugar in anything they can. They manipulate us via high and hidden sugar intake. This big soft drink company, you know whom I mean, they got a very clever trick now. They put corn syrup in their drinks. So they can write down corn and not sugar. Ha! Clever these guys. But corn is the same bad stuff, and even worse. Both, sugar and corn have nothing in them. No vitamins, no minerals. Only short term energy. They throw your sugar level up like a catapult and make you drop lower after. For me these practice is criminal. And the most criminal is that most gouverments support these. If you look at basic live standard list in most of the countries what do they include? Sugar, Coffee and Cigarettes. You must been joking! I have to admit these three things are really helping us to survive....

After being a sugar addict most of my life I managed to reduce sugar around 95%. As a parent and healer today I educate parents around me, what they doing to their children letting them live on high levels of sugar. If I see the snack boxes of some children - stuffed with high sugar products and wheat. For me it is very clear: As long as they little they may not develop major problems. I hear this sentence from almost all parents all the time: "He/she is a healthy little child!" Yes, but wait another 10 or 15 years. Why has diabetes gone up more than 400% world wide in the last 20 years??? 400%! Diabetes IS the "Sugar-Sickness". Why do viral infections have such an easy go world wide? Cancer? Immune Diseases? Allergies?

I have been reading hundreds of articles and books in which is widely warned to eat sugar. Sugar is hidden everywhere. It starts with baby products and ends with your bottle of tomato-ketchup. For me it is an absolute paradox to put sugar in a fresh fruit juice. It is sweat already. No? Than your taste buds are already so spoiled that you cannot taste the fine nuances of food anymore and... you are giving this to your children in educating them drinking juices with sugar. One of my most favorite drinks today is fresh lime juice. Take one lime (jeruk nipis) squeeze out the juice, top it with room temperature water and drink it... Believe it or not: IT IS SWEAT! And has high levels of calcium and vitamin C in a form it can be easy absorbed by the body. With this drink, Colloidal Silver and a little rest you can fight any infection away in no time. Even a Bali Belly!

Ask yourself honestly: Do I know someone around me who is 100% healthy and fit, happy and beautiful no matter what age? Ask yourself why...

Not long ago I meet a nice French father on the beach, who told me that he regular freaks out when the grandparents give his children sweats. But the end of the story is simply - he is the bad one for the kids and the grandparents. He asked me: Why do people believe that giving children sweats is like showing them how much we love them? Well. There we have to look a little bit back in history. Most grandparents have been little children in the second world war - a world wide health desaster. For them to get some sweats - including fruits - was a real treat. So they learned that getting something sweat is something special. It sits so deep in their souls that they don't even realize why they have to give sweats to show their love. For them it was their grandmother, who was always hiding some sweats to give them when they were kids. In those times it really was a special treat. Sometimes it was just an apple. But as nobody had fruits, a sweat apple was a treat. "The apple in the neighbors garden!"

Once we understand all this threats hanging together, we might be able to understand why sugar is so powerful and hard to get out of our lives.

By now I always use fruits when someone in our family craves for sugar. And it works very well. I believe that many kids with behavior problems can easily be treated by cutting down their sugar intake. Hyperactive children slow down to slow motion within a day or two. Sadly many parents do not realize how hyper their children are, as they are hyper too. Our society is getting more and more hyper and, as it is a mass movement, nobody realizes it anymore. And now it comes: Many think this is caused by stress. NO! It is the high sugar and wheat intake which makes everyone hyper and running around like Gui ne-pigs. Well, at the end, it is stress for us to always run around. Our food is the cause of about 80% of our problems. The rest goes on the account of toxins. And sugar is around 40% of the food problem each one is running. Nobody can tell me anymore any stories about the last research done. It is for me all cold coffee - The truth is: We EAT wrong. And we raising our children like this.

Have a look at the special kids diet: Soft Drinks, Pizza, Cakes, Milk, Cereals, Hamburgers, Pasta, Candies, Ice Cream, sugared juices, artificial vitamins.. what else? When will we understand? When will you understand?

Next time you go shopping think twice what you buy for your child. A packet of "Chocolate Bears" or some nice organic dry fruits. No excuse - you can get it all in Bali. But sure it takes a little effort and.... LOVE. Real love, not sugar love.

The war is over - or has it just started???
