No Bake Gingerbread Cake

This NB features a delicious, sugar-free vegan recipe you’re sure to love… And it doesn’t require baking! Read on to be reminded why avoiding too much refined sugar is a great step towards health. 

 

Everybody loves sweets, but the aftereffects are terrible. It rots our teeth and leads to a whole host of chronic, sometimes life-threatening diseases. 

The health risks of sugar are many: 

1. DiabetesMillions around the world suffer from diabetes, which is a silent but deadly disease and has a very high fatality rate. The reason is the sugar that we consume through sweets, simple carbohydrates like rice, flour, desserts, and even some fruits.

2. Weight gain  – Sugar-sweetened beverages like soda, desserts, and the sugar hidden in processed foods have been established as a major reason for weight gain in children and adults. Excessive consumption of sugars like fructose, which is found in starchy foods like fries, causes your body’s hormonal balance to become dysfunctional. It no longer processes fat efficiently and causes weight gain.

3. Autoimmune disorders  – Are you suffering from acne, dandruff, rosacea, or dermatitis? The origin of autoimmune disorders is unknown, but sugar plays a big role in feeding the yeast and abnormalities that cause it. It deregulates your body hormones and causes an imbalance, which affects the immune system.

4. Mental health  – Eating a diet laden in sugars will give you an instant rush after a meal, and a huge fall a few hours later. The up and down spike of blood sugar levels can severely impact your mood. 

Now that we’ve driven home why sugar-free treats are better choices…
