At Aubergine Kitchen, you won’t find a single grain of refined sugar in any item we serve. Not even in the desserts or smoothies. It’s imperative to our mission and message that we stay far away from the stuff at all costs.
Our purpose is to help people feel better, and that starts by eating better. And one of the best ways to start eating better is to give up refined sugar.
Giving up sugar can have a significant impact on your overall health and well-being. Here are a few ways that giving up sugar can benefit you:
Weight loss: Sugar is high in calories, and consuming too much can lead to weight gain. By giving up sugar, you can reduce your calorie intake and potentially lose weight.
Improved blood sugar levels: Consuming too much sugar can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels, which can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Giving up sugar can help to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.
Improved dental health: Sugar is a leading cause of tooth decay, and giving it up can help to improve the health of your teeth and gums.
Improved heart health: Consuming too much sugar can increase the risk of heart disease by contributing to high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Giving up sugar can help to lower these risks and improve heart health.
Reduced risk of certain cancers: Consuming too much sugar can increase the risk of certain types of cancer, such as ovarian and endometrial cancer. Cancer cells feed off of sugar, so giving it up can help to reduce this risk.
Improved mental health: Consuming too much sugar can lead to mood swings and feelings of depression and anxiety. Giving up sugar can help to improve mental health and reduce feelings of stress and tension.
Overall, giving up sugar can have a significant impact on your health and well-being. It may be difficult at first, but with time and determination, you can break the sugar habit and improve your overall health.
It’s also important to keep in mind that, when giving up sugar, it’s important to not replace it with artificial sweeteners, as they also have negative health effects. Instead, opt for natural sweeteners like honey or stevia, like we use at Aubergine, or simply reduce your overall sugar intake and learn to enjoy the natural flavors of foods.
