Published Feb 25, 2023 5 signs you're eating too much sugar

Your body needs healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates, not just SUGAR! Pay attention to these 5 signs of eating too much sugar and avoid it.

Weight Gain

Instead of providing you with calories or nutritious value, it makes your body produce and store more fat. Hence, eating too much sugar over time might result in weight gain.

Sleep Problems

It may be a sign that you are eating sugary meals, especially at night, if you are having trouble sleeping. It can disrupt your sleep and give you a surge of energy.

High Blood Pressure

Consuming a high-sugar diet stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, leading to increase in heart rate and blood pressure.

Low Energy Levels

When you first consume sugar, you may feel energized, but over time, you may become lethargic, tired and irritable. If you can relate, reduce your sugar intake.

Constant Sugar Craving

Consuming too much sugar might cause your brain's reward system to release the feel-good neurochemical dopamine. More dopamine means more sugar cravings.
