We know that sugar is bad for us, but what signs does our body give us that we are eating too much sugar and starting to cause harm to our bodies, both inside and out? Here are some things to take note of that could be happening because we are consuming too much sugar.
- Constantly Craving Sugar
- The more sugar you eat, the more sugar you crave
- Sugar causes a hormonal response that brings you up and then makes you crash and want more sugar
- Feel Sluggish Through the Day
- You get an initial high from the sugar then crash after it wears off
- Eating too much sugar often means you are not eating enough protein and fiber
- Begin Breaking Out
- A spike in insulin levels causes a hormonal cascade and you may start to notice your skin starting to break out
- You Have Mood Swings
- When you crash after your sugar high, your energy decreases which causes your mood to decrease as well.
- Start to Put On Weight
- Sugar causes you to consume excess calories and not even protein and fiber
- Too much sugar produces more insulin which can eventually cause and insulin resistance in your body and cause you to gain weight
- Get More Cavities
- Excess sugar impacts pH levels and throws off your natural ecosystem
- Sugar also gives bacteria a chance to thrive and multiply
- Nothing Tastes Sweet Anymore
- Constantly eating sugar overkills tastes buds so you need more to satisfy the sweet craving
- When you start to cut back, it will be hard at first, but then things will start to taste more sweet
