The carbohydrates you eat are immediately broken down into glucose. Protein can also convert to glucose, but it’s a slower and more energy-intensive process. Here’s a shocking fact: one cup of basmati rice is equivalent to ten teaspoons of sugar! Yet, your blood only needs about one teaspoon of glucose to maintain homeostasis. Anything beyond that is excessive and puts stress on your body. Nutritional labels be like: Total Carbohydrates: 45g Total Sugars: 0.1g Sounds harmless, right? What they don’t tell is the bitter truth: those 45 grams of carbohydrates still get broken down into blood sugar. If nutritional labels were honest, they would say: Total Carbohydrates: 45g Total Sugars: 45g Your body is designed to defend itself against excess sugar, but it comes at a cost. When glucose levels spike beyond the concentration gradient, your body scrambles to pull the sugar out of your bloodstream to prevent damage. It stores some as glycogen, but when your glycogen stores are full, the excess is converted into fat. This process is not harmless; it’s a survival mechanism triggered by the constant assault of excess sugar. “Sticky” blood—caused by too much sugar—is where chronic health problems begin. It thickens your blood, damages your arteries, and sets the stage for heart attacks, diabetes, dementia, and even hormonal imbalances. Your body’s natural systems are overwhelmed, leading to chronic systemic inflammation, obesogenesis, and disrupted metabolic processes. And here’s the kicker: foods marketed as “healthy” because they have “no added sugar” are often just as harmful. Whether the sugar is instant or comes from carbohydrates that break down into glucose, your body treats it the same. Whole grains, “heart-healthy” cereals, and even so-called fitness bars often have the same effect as candy bars when it comes to your blood sugar. We weren’t designed to handle this constant bombardment of glucose. Historically, humans consumed carbohydrates only seasonally or in limited quantities. Our bodies evolved to thrive on nutrient-dense, whole foods, not the processed, sugar-laden options dominating the modern diet.

What would a stranger rate your diet from 1-10 just by looking at you from 10 feet away? How would a stranger rate what you eat every day? What kind of self control are you projecting to the world?

Sometimes the walls that trap us are the ones we create ourselves.

1. Stay silent sometimes, not everything needs to be said. 2. If you meet someone smarter than you, don’t compete. Competition is a weakness. 3. The family you build is more important than the family you come from. 4. It’s better to have one true friend who is genuinely happy for you and encourages your dreams that it is to have many acquaintances that are lazy, self-centred and jealous of your success. You don’t need that negativity. 5. You’ll be much happier if you forgive your parents instead of blaming them. 6. Forget about reading 100 self-help books. You just need to take action and show some discipline.
