It has long been known to everyone that sweets are unhealthy food. Excess of such food has a negative effect on the condition of the figure, teeth, and skin.
Sweets are also dangerous because they can cause addiction. If such a problem has arisen, then it is necessary to consult a doctor and take the necessary tests. The fact is that addiction can often arise because the body needs certain vitamins and minerals.
Nutritionist Elena Solomatina told Channel Five more about this.
She noted that one of the reasons is a deficiency of chromium (this element can be replenished with seafood or cocoa without milk, syrup and sugar). You also want to eat a chocolate bar or another piece of cake when there is a lack of magnesium, a B vitamin. In this case, you need to focus on seeds, nuts, leafy vegetables, meat, liver, whole grains.
The problem may be in illnesses, for example, craving sweets with diabetes.
The problem also arises with energy deficiency. In this case, it is necessary to establish a proper nutrition system, get enough sleep, and spend more time in the fresh air.
In addition, it should be taken into account that addiction can occur due to problems with the thyroid gland.
It is necessary to add that sugar is a quick source of pleasure. This means that some people can use it to drown out physical pain or psychological problems. It is necessary to identify the reason for such behavior. Experts recommend visiting a doctor in such situations.
