The Not So Sweet Truth About Sugar – Ayurveda Perspective:

In Ayurveda, balance is the key to optimal health. Unfortunately, our love affair with sugar disrupts this delicate balance, leading to an array of health issues. Excessive sugar intake puts a strain on our cardiovascular system, paving the way for heart diseases and related complications. Ayurveda believes that prevention is better than cure, and it's time we pay attention to the bitter truth about added sugar.

According to Ayurveda, excessive sugar intake disturbs the delicate balance of doshas (energetic principles) within our bodies, leading to an array of health issues. And guess what? Our dear hearts are no exception. So, while you might be indulging in a blissful sugar coma, your ticker might be silently plotting its revenge. Sweet surrender indeed!

By reducing our sugar consumption and embracing Ayurvedic principles, we can steer clear of heart risks and embark on a path towards a healthier life. We are listing down the super substitute of Sugar. 

• Bye Sugar, Hi Honey

Let's start with Honey, the sweet nectar that nature offers. This golden goodness is packed with antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, making it a healthier alternative to sugar.
