Sugar, this succulent poison that must not be added to your cakes. Yet sugar consumption is a major cause of obesity and many chronic diseases. Here are some reasons why eating too much sugar is bad for your health:
1- Sugar makes you gain weight
There are countless studies that have shown that high sugar consumption is directly related to weight gain. In addition, it has also been proven that excessive consumption of sugary drinks leads to the formation of visceral fat, an abdominal fat associated with disorders such as diabetes and heart disease.
2- Sugar increases your risk of heart disease
A diet high in sugar has been associated with a high risk of many diseases, including heart disease, which is none other than the leading cause of death in the world.
3- Sugar increases your risk of diabetes
Obesity is considered the leading risk factor for diabetes. In addition, increased consumption of sugar leads to resistance to insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar.
4- Sugar increases your risk of depression
A diet rich in sugars and processed foods increases the risk of developing depression. This is mainly due to fluctuations in blood glucose levels and neurotransmitter dysregulation and inflammation.
5- Sugar causes skin problems
Sweet foods increase blood sugar levels and insulin, which results in increased secretion of androgens and inflammation, responsible for the development of acne. In addition, studies have shown that hypoglycemic diets are associated with a reduced risk of acne.
