Sugar and refined carbohydrates are nothing but empty calories with no nutrients t offer. I’m going to talk about signs that you’re eating too much sugar.
1. Pre-maturing aging
Excessive consumption can cause long term damage to your skin, proteins,collagen and elastin, leading to premature aging.
2. Constant Craving
Sugary foods are very addicting because foods very high in sugar bring cravings. “Foods high in sugar have been shown to activate the reward pathway in the brain by releasing dopamine, similar to that of addictive drugs”
3.Low energy
“Glucose is essential for energy production throughout the body, however, it is important to keep blood sugar levels balanced as opposed to experiencing the peaks and troughs that occur when we binge on sugary snacks. Following the consumption of sugar, the pancreas releases insulin to help transfer glucose to the cells, meaning we may experience a rush of energy. Once used up, we can experience a dip in energy as the body demands more sugar to start the cycle all over again.”
4.unexplained bloating
“Less desirable bacteria and yeast produce gases when they ferment our undigested food in the colon. Bad bacteria particularly love eating sugars, whereas beneficial bifidobacteria, who love veggies, are not believed to produce any gas. An overproduction of gas can lead to pain after eating, uncomfortable bloating and flatulence”
