How much sugar is too much for your body?
Higher Incidence of Acne on Your Skin
Eating
too much sugar tends to wreak havoc on your skin. There is a
relationship between a high-sugar diet and severe acne and a high sugar
intake tends to result in severe acne issues.
Experiencing Energy Slumps
Especially
after eating sugary foods lacking in satiating proteins, fiber and fat,
you are likely to develop a pounding headache or feel extremely
lethargic. This is because a high sugar diet, rather than a balanced
nutritious diet, makes your blood sugar level unstable, with you
constantly switching from ‘sugary high’ to ‘lethargic low’. You end up
feeling very weak and sluggish throughout the day.
Cavities
Cavities
are more often than not, a glaring sign of a sweet tooth. Cavities are
painful and more importantly avoidable, and the key to avoiding them is
to brush your teeth well after meals and eat foods that will keep your
teeth healthy.
High Blood Pressure
One
of the factors that contribute to a diagnosis of high blood pressure is
a high-sugar diet. A high-sugar diet can push your blood pressure off
the normal threshold. Limiting sugar intake is just as important as
reducing your sodium consumption when it comes to a healthy blood
pressure.
Exercising is Getting Extremely Hard for You
Whether
fat, chubby or even thin, if exercise seems to be getting harder and
harder for you to do, a high-sugar diet might be to blame. If you have a
high blood sugar level and engage in activities that involve intense
effort or physical extension, you’ll likely end up feeling very fatigued
and quite miserable. You also tend to get exhausted very easily and
quickly while exercising.
Weight Gain
Weight
gain can be caused by a number of different factors and one of those
factors is a high sugar diet. This is because a high sugar diet does not
make you feel full (which makes you eat more) and does not compensate
for total energy, that is, they do not displace other foods, so they add
to your total calorie intake. A high sugar diet also tends to make
exercise or physical activity hard, so it’s unlikely you’ll be able to
burn off the excess calories through that route.
Nothing Tastes As Sweet As It Used To
Eating
too much sugar basically bombards your taste buds and eventually this
excessive sugar intake causes your taste bud sugar tolerance to build up
and increase, as a result you need more and more sugar to satisfy your
sweet craving. This is bad and you should at this point cut back
(regardless of how tough it might be at first), so that you can lower
your tolerance and once again be content and satisfied with minimal
sugar.
