Some people prefer sweet over savory, mostly eating sweet food and a lot of it. Why? Because sugar is addictive and when you start eating it, it is hard to stop. It adds a sweet and good taste to your food and drinks, but nowadays you can find plenty of alternatives that are healthier and tasty as well.
Sugar comes with a lot of different not so fun side-effects and if you are eating a lot of it, it is time to know them.
You Want To Eat More
Just as mentioned above, this small little cookie may not curb your craving after all.
Your Brain Suffers
If you want to stay in peak mental shape, try sticking with savory foods.
Skin Ages Faster
Too much of sugar can hinder the repair of collagen, the protein that keeps skin looking plump.
Stored As Fat
The liver has a capacity to metabolise sugar and use it for energy, but only to an extent. If you exaggerate, the fructose that’s left over is converted into fat.
Affects Your Cells
Fructose accelerates the usual oxidation process in our cells. Organs can become damaged and the risk of health conditions rises.
Energy Up, Then Down
Sugar quickly causes a rise of glucose in the bloodstream, so you might feel extra energised, for a while. But this can rapidly change and leave you more tired and down later on.
And now, do you still crave for sugar?
