Sugar consumption has risen 1,500 percent in the last 200 years.  Today, the average American consumes 150 pounds of sugar a year compared to the 12 pounds consumed in the early 1800s. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, that is equal to 52 teaspoonfuls of added sugars per person per day. Can you imagine yourself sitting at the kitchen table gobbling down 52 teaspoons of white sugar – every single day? Well, that’s exactly what most people are doing without even realizing it!

If you are experiencing the "Sugar Blues" withdrawals, detoxing your body can be done carefully not to exhaust the body. Many people overdue. Health is about balance and harmony. The disease of 'more' and 'too fast' can drain the body's energy.

Following are a few general tips to maximize a detox and helps to sustain wellness

• Make sure you drink plenty of water – at least eight glasses of pure filtered water a day

• Exercise as much as you can, even if it just walking and stretching

• Eat organic foods that are not overridden with sugars and salts

• Drink fresh organic fruit and vegetable juices daily

• Choose organic animal protein and dairy products as much as possible

• Eat some whole-grains, nuts, seeds and legumes

• Wash fruits and vegetables with food grade hydrogen peroxide

• Avoid or limit processed and artificial foods

• Only eat when you are hungry and do not overeat

• Chew your food slowly and thoroughly

• Read labels carefully to avoid genetically modified ingredients, artificial flavors, additives, preservatives and colorings

• Fiber supplements daily to help maintain regularity (even after you finished your detox)

• Quality vitamin/mineral supplement daily to keep your immune system functioning optimally

• Quality probiotic daily to maintain bowel health and improve digestion

Probably the most important solution is your health consciousness. When you feed your body and take care of it with the mindset of building a reserve energy daily, and keeping your energy flowing freely, the 'Sugar Blues' don't stand a chance.
