Why Excessive Fruit Consumption Might Not Be as Healthy as You Think!
When we think of healthy eating, fruit often takes center stage.
Bursting with vitamins, fiber, and natural sweetness, it's no wonder many of us reach for that juicy apple or ripe mango as a guilt-free snack, as well as consuming what we "may think is a healthy" juice at restaurants, or cold pressed juice manufacturers, serving and sell, their version of cold pressed juices and smoothies!!! Take Care Be Aware!
However...
What if I told you that excessive consumption of even the sweetest fruits could be triggering the same addictive pathways in your body as sugar does? Those very sweet Cold Pressed Juices -mmmmm!!! Would you eat 3 oranges at one time, or 3 apples, or mangos, or a whole pineapple? No...you would have an apple, a slices or 2 of pineapple, or maybe one mango if it was small...well what is in your juice is way more than you should have in one siting let alone one day!!!
This is true...Pay attention!
The Sweet Trap:
Understanding the "Addiction"
Sugar addiction is a well-documented phenomenon, with studies showing its impact on neural pathways similar to those involved in drug addiction.
But what about fruit?
After all, it's natural and comes with a host of health benefits.
However, it's essential to recognise that sweetness, whether from refined sugar or fruit sugars, can still stimulate these addictive pathways. Keeping you trapped in the addiction. This is why at Juice4Joy we specialise in CLEANING THE PALATE! Awakening it to the true taste of delicious and nutritious HEALTH!
The Science Behind the "Sweetness"
When we consume sweet foods, our brain releases dopamine, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, that have been well conditioned throughout life, toward to "sweet"!
Over time, repeated exposure to sweetness can lead to desensitisation of dopamine receptors, requiring more and more sweetness to achieve the same level of satisfaction. Just like any other pleasure hit that is our go to...alcohol, bread, etc
This sets off a cycle of craving and consumption, akin to addiction, and definite breakdown in health from GUT level, affecting you on all levels, mentally, emotionally, physically!
