1. Added Sugars

It’s true that our bodies crave sugar as it is also an essential part of our daily requirement. Having said that, modern diets contain excessive amounts of it, which could have a detrimental effect on your health. Not only does sugar cause inflammation in the body as it interacts with fat and protein, but it also produces advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which can cause premature aging.

The best way to get your necessary sugar fix is through fruit, as it has natural sugars, along with nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber. You can also have honey in limited quantities but must stay away from products with refined white sugar or high fructose corn syrup at all costs.
