When Neelam Daswani was studying to be a health coach in 2020, she learned about the health risks of consuming too much sugar and started cutting down on the sweet stuff.
Having a diabetic father also concerned her – she had a sweet tooth and did not want to develop diabetes herself.
“I learned that foods containing processed sugar were making us fat, tired and sick,” says Daswani, 49, who owns a Hong Kong-based public relations firm and is also now an integrative nutrition health coach.
After reducing her intake of granola, fruit juices and other sugary treats, Daswani noticed several effects almost immediately: she lost weight, had more energy and experienced fewer acne breakouts. Her skin looked clearer and smoother.
