17.11.2024 02:20
A small amount of sugar is unlikely to cause significant harm to health.
But if you regularly consume too much sugar, you risk gaining weight, developing acne, and suffering from type 2 diabetes, to name just a few of the potential side effects.
The following signs indicate excessive consumption of sweets.
Skin problems
Excess sugar often causes inflammation and glycation, a process that destroys collagen. The consequences, as they say, are obvious: acne, premature wrinkles, and general aging of the skin.
In addition, too much sugar entering the body leads to increased secretion of androgens, fat production and inflammatory processes, which are also fraught with the appearance of acne.
Mood swings
A high-sugar diet affects the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, potentially increasing the likelihood of depression and anxiety. This applies to both men and women.
Energy fluctuations
Because sugar causes sudden spikes and drops in blood glucose levels, you may feel tired and irritable throughout the day.
