White Poisons
- Sugar
- Salt
- White Rice (or similar items)
I have decided to reduce the consumption of these three items in my food. First I started with Sugar. I have stopped eating all sweets. Reduced sugar mix in milk from 3 spoon to 1 spoon. I have made this reduction gradually like 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1. I am very satisfied with my ability to reduce that sugar consumption.
Salt any extra salt I normally used to eat with curd is totally stopped. So no extra Salt from my side. Now I may need to convince my curry point to reduce the salt use.
I was not able to reduce the White Rice consumption since I started this trend. But hope fully I will start reducing it from now. It is easy to reduce slowly. May be one spoon per week reduction?
If any one is interested in joining me in this trend let me know. We can have a small competition with each other to help us avoid these 3 white poisons.
It is a myth that because of eating more sugar, we get cholestrol, sugar
etc…
the same with salt also ( High BP ).
all the above mentioned are due to excess consumption than required.
Items like jagggery which contain high sugar content helps to improve haemoglobin content . intake of salt less than required leads to thyroid, BP to be down. ( in citical cases it can be fatal)
my suggestion is to have a medical consultation and then decide how much amount to consume.

I am aware of the problem with low ‘salt’. But I am also aware of the fact that most of the food we eat do contain salt. You don’t need to add yourself.
