By giving up sugar for just 30 days, your body can be completely refreshed from the inside. According to Harvard expert Dr. Saurabh Sethi, it has amazing benefits on the liver, kidneys, brain and immune system.

It is not easy for anyone to give up sweets, whether it is adding sugar to tea or staying away from cakes and cookies. Many things start coming to mind as soon as you think about it. But what if you are told that by staying away from added sugar for just 30 days, you can completely refresh your body from inside.

In fact, Harvard doctor and wellness expert Saurabh Sethi had said in an interview that giving up sugar for a month brings many surprising changes in the body. In a video that went viral recently, Saurabh Sethi explains in detail how our liver, kidneys, brain and immune system can be affected by just 30 days of abstinence from sugar.

Decreases liver fat

According to Dr. Sethi, when you stop consuming sugar, especially processed sugar containing fructose, the fat deposited in the liver starts decreasing. This is especially important because nowadays fatty liver disease is increasing even in those people who do not drink alcohol. In such a situation, you can reduce liver inflammation by staying away from sugar for 1 month.

Improves kidney function

If you are insulin resistant or pre-diabetic, quitting sugar can improve your kidney functioning. Excess sugar and high insulin levels put constant pressure on the kidneys. This affects their ability to work. In such a situation, if you give them a break, they start working well again.

Decreases inflammation of the arteries

Actually, consuming sugar every day causes inflammation in the walls of the arteries in the body, which is a major cause of heart disease. On the other hand, by quitting sugar, this inflammation gradually starts reducing, which also reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Brain function also improves

Many times people feel brain fog after eating sweets but this is not just an illusion. Actually sugar increases the fluctuations of energy in our body which affects the concentration of the brain. On the other hand, within a few weeks of giving up sugar, people start feeling more focused and productive.

Quitting sugar strengthens the immune system

Harvard experts say that sugar weakens our white blood cells, which are the first wall of our body to fight disease. By staying without sugar for only 30 days, your immune system can become stronger than before, in such a situation, white blood cells can also stand strong to fight the disease.

Absorption of essential minerals is better

By giving up sugar, the absorption of essential minerals like magnesium, calcium and zinc in the body improves. These minerals are very important for bones, muscles and mental health.

What fruits can we eat?

Harvard experts say that apart from quitting sugar for a month, many fruits also contain natural sugar. In such a situation, eating most of the fresh fruits like pears, apples and berries is absolutely safe. Because they contain fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. However, it is better to stay away from very sweet fruits like grapes, ripe bananas and mangoes while quitting sugar. Also, fruit juices and dry fruits can also be avoided during this period.

Apart from this, Dr. Sethi says that it is not necessary that you give up sugar forever. But just by taking a break from sugar for 30 days, your body gets deeply refreshed, take it as a positive detox and not as a punishment.
