CELL WELLBEING
Are you more addicted to sugar than you think?
There are reasons why sugar is hard to quit… one being sugar causes your opioid receptors in your brain to activate, which sets off your neurological system to flare up; meaning despite the negative side effects and excess consumption the sugar tricks your brain into making you feel good emotionally.
It is important to also understand the range of different sugars. Processed sugars are different than the natural sugars you find in fruit and honey as they contain vitamins and minerals. Refined sugars otherwise known as sucrose is highly processed with no real nutritional value.
THE ROLLERCOASTER EFFECT
Processed sugars can spike blood sugars in the body super fast and drop them just as quick also. As levels rise a quick increase in energy is experienced however… just as quick this regulates and a ‘sugar crash’ is not too far behind. Your body works hard to compete with this roller coaster effect using enzymes in its small intestine to break down the sugar into glucose. However too much sugar causing excess glucose will be converted to fat, instead of being stored as energy for later on. Not to mention the Sugar headache..
