1. The first is dopamine produced after sugar enters the human body. This substance can stimulate the nerves and make people relaxed and happy.
2. After the human body ingests sugar, the blood sugar content in the body will increase. Insulin in the body converts blood sugar into energy in the body. At the same time, the glucose content in the blood will replenish energy for the brain and relieve mood.
3. For patients with hypoglycemia, drinking sugar water or eating sugar is the simplest means to supplement sugar.
After a lot of exercise, especially after a lot of sweating and physical exertion, eating sugar can replenish calories in time and prevent collapse.
When you are tired and hungry, eating sugar can be quickly absorbed by the human body and raise blood sugar rapidly.
6. Eating some sugar or chocolate after a meal can reduce drowsiness, cheer up and ensure sufficient energy.
At the same time, sugar is the source of all diseases, and excessive consumption is likely to cause the following major hazards:
1, acne
When we eat too much polysaccharide, the blood sugar level in our body will soar. In order to stabilize the blood sugar level in our body, we secrete insulin to urge our body to consume or store too much sugar and make the blood sugar level return to normal. A large amount of insulin secretion will promote excessive keratinization of skin hair follicle cells, that is, eating too much sugar will make the skin inflamed and acne.
2, accelerate skin aging
Sugar will combine with protein and attach to protein, thus breaking or denaturing protein. The most direct manifestations are yellow skin, wrinkles, dullness, large pores and relaxation. And if we eat too much sugar, the unused sugar will naturally combine with collagen, and the aging of the skin will naturally intensify.
3. Tooth decay
Sugar will produce acidic substances under the action of bacteria, which will damage teeth and cause tooth decay. Especially for children, if they eat too much sugar and brush their teeth incorrectly, the probability of dental caries will be greatly improved.
4, loss of appetite, malnutrition
If children eat too much sugar, they don't want to eat it. As a high-energy substance, sugar will affect the absorption of nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals. If the food intake is reduced and the absorption is not good, it will easily lead to malnutrition in children's physical development.
5, lead to osteoporosis
The metabolism of sugar food in the body needs to consume a variety of vitamins and minerals. Eating too much sugar often causes nutritional problems such as vitamin deficiency and calcium deficiency, and the loss of calcium ions in the blood will make the calcium in the bones dissolve into the blood continuously, which will eventually lead to osteoporosis.
6, cause chronic diseases
If you often eat too much sugar, the unused sugar will be stored in the form of fat. Too much fat can lead to obesity, which is closely related to the occurrence of hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
Therefore, sugar is the root of all diseases, and excessive intake of sugar is equal to chronic suicide. However, from the physiological needs of the human body, it is beneficial to health to supplement sugar in moderation. The key is to master the intake scientifically.
Generally speaking, the Dietary Guide for China Residents suggests that the per capita daily sugar intake should not exceed 50g, preferably within 25g, and it can be appropriately increased for athletes with high energy consumption.
