9 Health Side Effects Of Overconsuming Sugar…

If you are a sweets lover, this is for you! I might be one myself, though… Let’s get through this together.
Do you know that feeling when you give the first bite to a yummy donut? Or that chocolate layered cake? Or pistachio-dipped churros? Oh, God!
LI mean… Everything about sweets and desserts is so tasty! However, I had bad news about us, guys… All that amount of sugar we consume might present us with many health issues.

Now… Let’s talk numbers. How much is TOO much sugar?
According to the WHO, the daily intake of sugar should be less than 10% aka 6 tsp for women, and 9 tsp for men.
The problem here is that the more sweets you eat, the more biochemical reactions will happen, which can lead to heart disease, arthritis, or cataracts.

2. Craving sweets
Has it ever happened to you that after eating something sweet, you felt hungry again? Now, we know that sugar releases dopamine, which keeps us happy and in a good mood.
So, the more sweets you eat, the more your body will crave them because it makes you happy. It is addictive, just like drugs.

3. Energy highs and lows
Glucose molecules are there to give us the energy we need to function like normal human beings. However, we need to keep it cool with the consumption of sugary foods, because it may lead to a deviation in energy levels.
This happens because when you eat sweets, the pancreas releases insulin to level the glucose in your body, and you feel energetic. On the other hand, your body’s energy will drop once you will crave more sugar.
