Sugar cravings are an irresistible urge. 

If you love sugar, you already know it's highly addictive — probably because of the instant euphoria it gives you right after you consume it.

However, it has become common knowledge that eating too much sugar can be detrimental to health.

Especially for women during menopause!

In one study of nearly 1,000 postmenopausal women, having higher blood sugar levels was linked to more physical and psychological menopause symptoms.

This means more weight gain, more hot flashes, more bloating and more mood swings.

Now you might be wondering, why do women crave sugar more when they’re in menopause?

Well, sugar cravings are mostly caused by the brain, triggering a response from the body to consume sugary treats.
Possible triggers include lack of sleep, stress, feeling down, and possibly the one that affects menopausal women the most, imbalance in hormones.

To help you get a hold of your sugar cravings...

We’ve prepared a list of lifestyle tips and changes for you to start doing, so you can beat your sugar cravings:

Tip #1: Add protein to the mix

Adding a source of protein when you reach for a sugary treat helps balance your blood sugar. Try eating a handful of nuts when you eat sweets or mix high-quality protein powder into a sweet smoothie.

Tip #2: Rebalance your hormones.

The imbalance of hormones during menopause can cause many of the sugar impulses driving you to consume sugar. You can rebalance your hormones naturally with the help from all natural phytoestrogenic herbs like turmeric, curry leaves & moringa.

Tip #3: Go cold-turkey

Toughing it out and avoiding sugar for just three days can make a huge difference in reducing your cravings. (Fruit — nature’s sweetest treat — is ok to have!) 

Though it may take longer for cravings to completely go away, eliminating sugar’s hold on you can shock your brain back to normal.

Tip #4: Balance your gut inhabitants

When your gut bacteria are out of balance, like during menopause, yeasts like Candida can flourish. Candida bacteria can cause strong sugar cravings, fatigue, fuzzy thinking and digestive issues. 

Taking a probiotic helps reclaim healthy bacterial balance, eliminating the sugar-craving causing bacteria, reducing sugar pangs.

Tip #5: Watch out for acid-forming foods

Eating too much highly processed carbohydrates (like white bread, pizza dough, pasta, pastries, white flour, white rice, sweet desserts, and many breakfast cereals) can cause an increase in acidity and inflammation, which causes cravings for sweet foods. 

So, opt for more foods with lots of omega-3 fatty acids, along with plenty of alkalizing fruits and vegetables.

PS. Introducing these tips into your daily routine is a step in the right direction to successfully beat your sugar cravings!
