Even the birds on the branch know that white sugar should be avoided. However, in practice it is a little more difficult to do. The reason is very simple - it's hard to be a character when you're struggling with addiction, and that's exactly what sugar does to our body - it makes it addictive.
Unfortunately, white sugar is not only found in sweets, but also in foods where you would not expect it at all and which are not sweet at all. In order to help him here too, read the labels and even better - eat unprocessed food, only what you can recognize at first glance. Forget about flakes, pates and store-bought fruit yogurts. Instead, eat whole grains, fresh fruit, and plain yogurt.
In order to make it easier to "get off" sugar, we bring you six negative sides of sugar:
1. Sugar is addictive
Sugar activates dopamine, a compound in the brain that affects feelings of pleasure. Over time, our brain craves more and more sugar.
2. Skin ages faster when you eat too much sugar
Too much sugar destroys collagen and reduces skin elasticity and causes wrinkles.
3. Sugar 'dulls' our sense of satiety
Sugar acts on the brain in such a way that it dulls the appetite control mechanisms, that is, the brain no longer tells us when we are full and we overeat.
4. Cellulite accumulates because of sugar
Sugar slows circulation and causes water retention in the body.
5. Weakens immunity
Sugar affects white blood cells by weakening them and they are 40 percent less effective in preserving immunity. Also, sugar neutralizes the action of vitamin C.
6. It causes numerous diseases
Sugar affects the development of various diseases - from depression and obesity, through diabetes to cancer.
Finally:
Think again, are you going to eat that chocolate you are holding in your hand now or when you really need something sweet? Or maybe - never. White sugar is not harmless at all. It is just as bad as alcohol and cigarettes, reports VIjesti.rs.
