On the street, in the shopping mall, there are dessert stations everywhere, milk tea shops, and sweets can be said to be the favorite of many girls. Occasionally eating sweets can replenish energy and keep you feeling good. However, if you love sweets and eat too much, it is very harmful to the body.
1. Cause obesity
The most obvious harm caused by excessive sugar intake is gaining weight and increasing weight. This is deeply felt by women who pursue a perfect body, and many people are very self-disciplined and can control their mouths. In fact, the reason is very simple, when the amount of sugar ingested exceeds the body's needs, it is often difficult to be consumed, but converted into fat. And these fats are only converted into glucose in small amounts the next time the body is hungry. If you eat again or consume too much sugar, fat stays in the body or continues to increase, thus becoming obese.
2. Increased risk of diabetes
When we eat sugar, blood sugar levels in the body rise rapidly in the short term, and the body produces insulin, which helps the glucose in the blood enter the cell metabolism. However, excessive sugar intake may make insulin unable to process blood sugar in the blood, resulting in insulin resistance, and over time, glucose tolerance abnormalities occur, increasing the risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and other diseases.
3. Wounded liver
The sweets we eat usually contain sucrose, which is broken down into fructose and glucose to provide energy for the human body. Glucose can be used by cells immediately to produce energy, but fructose must first be metabolized by the liver before it can be utilized by cells. If fructose is consumed too much, the triglycerides converted by fructose will accumulate in the liver, causing fatty liver disease and even develop cirrhosis.
4. Increase the risk of cancer
Excessive intake of sweets can significantly increase the risk of obesity-related cancers, including pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, gallbladder cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and colorectal cancer. Studies have shown that sweets, in particular, increase the risk of breast cancer by 47%.
5. Sad cerebrovascular disease
Daily intake of sugar is closely related to the level of high-density cholesterol in the blood. Studies have shown that if at least 25% of their daily calorie intake comes from foods with high sugar content, their risk of low hdL cholesterol levels in their blood is more than 3 times higher. We all know that hdL cholesterol is known as a "vascular scavenger". When too much sugar is converted into fat, and high-density cholesterol is low, it is easy to appear atherosclerosis, resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
6. Hurt the stomach and intestines
For example, a variety of processed desserts, preserved fruits, canned foods, various sugary drinks, etc., the refined sugar and artificial sweeteners in them are particularly destructive to the intestinal microbiome, because it can nourish harmful bacteria, increase intestinal inflammation and intestinal leakage, and further lead to bacterial imbalance. Long-term sweets stimulate, easy to cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, stomach acid reflux.
7. Wounded teeth
If you eat sweets for a long time without oral cleaning, the sweets remain in the mouth to stimulate the teeth, which can easily cause caries, pulpitis, periapical inflammation, gingivitis and other problems, and will also stimulate the formation of repeated mouth ulcers. This is especially common in children.
8. Hurt the skin
Excessive sugar intake promotes the production of sebum, which leads to excessive multiplication of anaerobic acne bacilli in the sebaceous glands and the growth of acne. Especially adolescent children, it is necessary to control the intake of sweets.
9. Malnutrition
Love to eat sweets, will reduce the intake of other nutrients, long-term single intake of sweets, easy to cause malnutrition, calcium deficiency, anemia and other situations.
The World Health Organization (WHO) surveyed the causes of death in populations in 23 countries and found that the average life expectancy of people on a long-term high-sugar diet was 10-20 years shorter than that of those on a normal diet. It can be seen that eating sweets will only bring a short period of mood pleasure, and long-term intake of too much sweets has great harm to health.
