Eliminate these 2 ingredients and you will see how your diet improves.
Have you ever wondered why you feel bloated almost every day?
Why do joint pains, constant tiredness or heavy digestion appear even if you don’t eat “in excess”?
The answer may be simpler than you might imagine. In many cases, it is not about age or a strange disease, but about two very common ingredients that are part of the daily diet of millions of people.
Eliminating them for just one week can make a real difference in how your body feels.

Silent inflammation: the problem that many ignore
Inflammation is a natural response of the body. When there is a wound or an infection, the body defends itself and that is healthy.
The problem arises when that inflammation never goes away.
Chronic low-grade inflammation acts silently and is associated with:
- Persistent joint pain
- Abdominal swelling
- Constant fatigue
- Digestive problems
- Premature aging
- Diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and cognitive impairment
The good news is that much of this inflammation can be reduced by changing what you eat each day.
Ingredient number one: added sugar
Sugar is not a poison in itself, but daily and excessive consumption of added sugar is one of the biggest triggers of chronic inflammation.
What happens in your body when you consume too much sugar?
- Causes constant spikes in glucose and insulin
- Feeds harmful gut bacteria
- Activates inflammatory processes
- Increases tiredness and cravings
Most worryingly, much of the sugar is hidden, even in products that seem healthy.
Where the sugar hides
- Industrial cereals
- Flavored yogurts
- Sliced bread
- Commercial sauces
- Packaged juices
- “Light” products
- Snacks and desserts
If you read terms such as glucose syrup, dextrose, maltose or sucrose on the label, you are dealing with sugar in disguise.
Healthier alternatives
- Whole fruits
- Dates or raisins in small quantities
- Ripe banana
- Cinnamon and natural vanilla
- Pure cocoa (70% or more)
Ingredient number two: refined flours
The second great enemy of deflation is white or refined flours.
They are present in:
- White bread
- Traditional pasta
- Industrial pastries
- Biscuits and pastry products
These flours have lost almost all of their fiber and nutrients. In the body they behave almost the same as sugar.
Effects of refined flours
- They quickly raise glucose
- They generate inflammation
- Increase hunger during the day
- They produce abdominal swelling
- Hinder digestion
- Promote fat gain
In addition, they create a circle that is difficult to break: the more you consume them, the more you crave them.
Recommended substitutes
- Real whole wheat bread (over 90% whole wheat flour)
- Whole oatmeal
- Brown rice
- Chickpea or coconut flour
- Lentil or legume pasta
What happens when you eliminate these two ingredients?
Many people notice positive changes within a few days, even in the first week:
- Less abdominal bloating
- Better digestion
- Fewer cravings
- More mental clarity
- Better mood
- Clearer skin
- More restful sleep
- Less joint pain
It is not about extreme diets, but about replacing processed foods with more real and nutritious options.
What if you’re over 60, 70 or 80 years old?
It is never too late to improve your diet.
In fact, a diet rich in sugar and refined flours accelerates aging, reduces energy, muscle mass and mobility.
Eliminating these ingredients and maintaining gentle activity, such as daily walks, can help you feel lighter, stronger, and have a better quality of life.
Tips and recommendations
- Always read product labels
- Make incremental changes, not all at once
- Prioritize fresh and low-processed foods
- Combine better nutrition with daily movement
- Drink enough water
- Listen to your body and see how it responds
If you have a medical condition, consult with a professional before making major changes to your diet.
You don’t need to change your whole life to feel better.
Eliminating added sugar and refined flours, even for seven days, can help your body deflate and regain energy.
