1. Aging too quickly
Sugar has a negative effect on the skin, including reducing collagen,
elastin and skin proteins. If you eat too much sugar, it is likely that
you are seeing premature aging, wrinkles and facial folds appearing in
the mirror. You might also find that it causes an imbalance in your
menstrual hormones. This problem is often recognized when you break out
in the area of the jawline.
2. You Have Constant Cravings
Here is a newsflash that is not going to come as a surprise to many
of you; sugar is addictive. We may start eating just one piece of candy
and before you know it, we have downed the entire box! The addiction is
not just in the fact that it tastes good, it causes a burst of dopamine
in a similar way to highly addictive drugs, including heroin.
3. Lack of Energy
Our energy comes from glucose but keeping our blood sugar levels at a
healthy balance is important to ensure that we have energy throughout
the day. When you are dining on sugary snacks, you will find that your
blood sugar levels go up and down more than an elevator. When you eat
sugar, the pancreas floods your bloodstream with insulin and that leads
to a burst of energy. Unfortunately, the insulin is gone quickly and
your energy level crashes. As a result, your body craves more sugar and
it becomes a vicious cycle.
4. Unusual and Unexpected Bloating
The yeast and gas associated with eating sugar cause a fermentation
inside of your colon. When you continually eat sugar, the bad bacteria
is going to build up in the area and produce gas. That is why you often
experience a problem with flatulence after eating too much sugar along
with that uncomfortable bloating feeling that lasts for quite some time.
5. Reduced Immune System
Your digestive tract is responsible for the majority of your immune
system. It is supported by your gut bacteria and that is why it is so
important to keep it at a healthy balance. Eating too much sugar on a
regular basis reduces the flora and fauna in the digestive tract,
reducing your immune system along with it.
7. You Gain Weight
The energy you need to get through the day is derived from glucose but if your body doesn’t use the glucose immediately, it is stored as fat. This may work well if you have to go without eating for several days of the time but, quite honestly, very few of us are in that type of situation. Cut down on the sugar and get trim again.
