Constant consumption of sugar causes many health problems. And addiction makes it impossible to adequately assess the amount of sweets eaten. As a result, the constant sugar load on the body causes changes in the body and brain activity. That is, an elevated blood glucose level can be determined by some external signs. What kind of signs?
Dr. Vicki Petersen says that sugar is more addictive than drugs. And this has been proven in animal experiments: sugar addiction is not a myth, it is a real problem. The body reacts to sweets by releasing the hormone dopamine, eventually stops producing it without sugar stimulation and constantly demands sweets. As a result, when you haven't had a sugar boost, you feel anxious, out of sorts, there is a kind of "withdrawal" and you irresistibly want cakes/chocolate/buns.
Observe yourself, and if you find two or more of the following signs, consult a nutritionist and endocrinologist, and be sure to take a blood glucose test. Its increase leads to endocrine system malfunctions, hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance (when insulin-dependent cells stop responding to insulin, which disturbs the metabolism of glucose and its flow into the cells) and diabetes. Unfortunately, the effects of sugar for a long time is imperceptible, not accompanied by pronounced momentary symptoms. However, this does not mean that there are none at all.
