“Sweet Lies”: How Sugar Is Silently Sabotaging Our Minds and Our Youth

🍬“Sweet Lies”: How Sugar Is Silently Sabotaging Our Minds and Our Youth In the Gye-Nyame Journey, we constantly talk about reclaiming control of our lives—our thoughts, our time, our energy. But one of the biggest saboteurs of that control might be sitting right in your pantry, masked behind a thousand names. That saboteur is sugar . The Hidden Chains of Sugar Sugar is more than just a sweetener—it's an addictive substance that hijacks the brain’s reward system. Studies have shown that sugar can be more addictive than cocaine in animal tests. It lights up the same neural pathways and leaves the body craving more. When we talk about freedom, health, and liberation, we cannot ignore this powerful substance that’s quietly shaping our moods, our waistlines, and our willpower. Eliminating or drastically reducing sugar is like breaking invisible chains . You think clearer. Your energy levels stabilize. Your mood improves. You sleep better. Your skin glows.

Gye-Nyame steam adventures

This Journey involves alot of experimentation, and today I reached in and started experimenting with eating as much steamed food as possible I will be sending photos to the blog so that you can see some of the stuff i have figured out how to cook.

In capoeria you view conflict differently, by you making it a game you are more willing to try new things. In trying new things the art becomes you as you develop your style of play.

Knowing the rules of the roda or life makes the game more spectacular as you do your moves, and take advantage of what is being given to you. i had to recently look at my life and remeber my training.
