2 Week Sugar Detox
More and more people are becoming obese these days. Experts have come to a conclusion that the biggest culprit for obesity is sugar.
Refined carbs and added sugars can harm our bodies. When people start to consume too much sugar, they have a higher risk of getting chronic diseases such as liver disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and depression.
2-Week Sugar Detox

When that happens, you should remind yourself why you started this detox in the first place and you will see that the struggle will pay off later.
