Diet's important macronutrient : Carbohydrates

1 year ago 313

In the human diet, carbohydrates are significant macronutrients that play a major part in important metabolic pathways and supply the body with the energy it needs to function properly. For appropriate bodily energy balance, sugar homeostasis and intake require sophisticated hormonal and neurological control.

Metabolic, cardiovascular, and mental diseases are brought on by added sugar in processed foods. Epidemiological studies have revealed increased intake of sweet foods by kids, adults, and especially pregnant women and women of childbearing age, which may increase the risk of mental disorders and early disease in children.

There are extensive list of  effect that excess sugar consumption have on our body these areas follows

Weight gain: Consuming meals with added sugars typically makes you feel hungrier and makes you eat more than you would if you used proper meal planning. Furthermore, sugar contains a lot of empty (also known as non-nutritive) calories that the body converts to fat.

Heart disease: According to research, eating too much sugar can lead to heart-related issues like high blood pressure, inflammation (which is a risk factor for a number of other health issues! ), and high triglycerides. Each of these may be a factor in heart disease.

Cancer: Consuming too much sugar raises the likelihood of developing several cancers, albeit this is more of a causal factor than a direct impact. That's because eating sugar increases inflammation, insulin resistance, and obesity, all of which are well-known cancer risk factors.

Dementia: Consuming a lot of sugar in your diet raises your chance of getting dementia or Alzheimer's later in life. Memory loss is another effect.

Acne: Consuming sugar raises blood sugar and insulin levels, which might obstruct the body's ability to produce oil and other secretions. Acne and other skin disorders linked to nutrition might result from this.

Type 2 diabetes: Recall how we discussed sugar addiction earlier? That results in type 2 diabetes, but with insulin. Insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels, becomes less effective in the body when consumed in excess over a prolonged period of time. Type 2 diabetes is the outcome.

 

Depression & anxiety The mind and body are both impacted by excessive sugar consumption, which can cause sadness and anxiety. Scientists think that blood sugar swings, inflammation, and neurotransmitter dysregulation may all contribute to feelings of sorrow and anxiety, though they are not yet completely positive of the link.
