Psychology
says: 'We must understand why sugar
affects our brain chemistry like addictive
drugs. We may use sugar to concentrate
better, feel calmer or get
happy when we're low.'
But, Trudy says, 'If we get
the right nutritional
balance or take specific
amino acid supplements,
we can boost the needed
neurotransmitters, so
that cravings go away
without requiring
massive willpower or
without feeling deprived.'
Her recipe? Supplements.
'Tyrosine boosts dopamine
for concentration, GABA
makes you feel calmer, and tryptophan
so when we are tired, we tend to resist
our cues to rest and instead keep pushing
through exhaustion by over activating
the body's fight or flight stress responses.
Underneath it all, we need sweetness,
sensuality, and deliciousness. The
spiritual traditions that incorporate the
body talk about chakras, which are
energetic centres within the body that
relate to our soul and spirit. The chakra in
the lower belly/sexual organs area is the
'sweetness' centre - the Sanskrit name,
svadisthana, means 'one's sweet place'.
Our worlds are flooded with sexual
images and references that make us
long for fulfilment through everything
from food to cars. Desire is often piqued
but not really fulfilled. When we're rushed
boosts serotonin for happiness.' So, a trip
to a qualified nutritionist might help us to
stop drugging with sugar.
Beyond the brain chemistry, there's
another factor: nervous exhaustion.
Many of us have stressful, busy lives
Alternatively, we turn to caffeine and
sugar to create a fast-hitting artificial
high when the body is craving a rest.
This sets up our need for the blood sugar
spike and keeps us in a tiring cycle,
addicted to our own stress hormones.
or pushed, we scarcely take time to ask
what real sweetness there is in life. The
result? We become imbalanced and seek
sweetness in the wrong places.
Ask yourself this: what can you do to
satisfy the spiritual void that you seek to
So de-activating our stress responses with
yoga, breath work or meditation are vital
allies in releasing the sugar stranglehold.
GET SPIRITUALLY SATISFIED
PERHAPS YOU HAVEN'T
TRULY DANCED IN
YEARS, HAVEN'T SUNG
IN AGES... WHEN YOU'RE
SEEKING SWEETNESS,
FIND IT WHERE IT
REALLY LIES
