April 7th is World Health Day, a good time to stop and think about what we eat and how it affects us. With Easter just around the corner, chocolate eggs, Easter cakes, and sweets everywhere… you've probably heard the phrase, "A little sugar won't hurt." But what if we told you it will?
What sugar does to your body
It's not just about calories. For years, the food industry has demonized fats, leading us to believe they were responsible for weight gain and health problems. However, a growing body of research has shown that the real enemy of health is sugar. While "low-fat" products were marketed as healthy options, they were actually packed with sugar to compensate for the lack of flavor, leading to a rise in obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic issues. Consuming too much sugar can cause problems such as:
-
Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes : Continued sugar consumption can cause our body to stop processing it properly, increasing the risk of diabetes.
-
Inflammation and cardiovascular problems : sugar promotes inflammation in the body, which can lead to heart disease.
-
Energy highs and lows : that high you feel when you eat something sweet doesn't last long, and then comes the crash, leaving you tired and wanting more sugar.
-
Dental problems : the bacteria in your mouth love sugar, and that translates into cavities and other oral problems.
And in children, the impact is even greater: It affects their concentration, can disrupt their sleep, and even their behavior.
