Humans intake sugar in many forms, hidden under different names: sucrose, dextrose, maltose, glucose, fructose, or the highly processed high-fructose corn syrup. It is found in excessive amounts in pastas, cakes, jam, marmalades, biscuits and all other desserts, carbonated drinks, most fruit juices, sports drinks, canned fruit and some vegetables, fruit yogurts, salad dressings and many pickles, as well as in most processed foods.
When consuming it, a person initially feels very good, energised and fresh, but for a short time. After the impact passes, a drop in energy occurs in the human body.
Sugars, consumed in their natural form (from fruit or grains), entering the digestive system, break down almost immediately into glucose and fructose and pass slowly and gradually into the bloodstream, so that the body can easily absorb them. Refined sugars, however, raise blood sugar levels quickly. To reduce this level, the pancreas starts to secrete the hormone insulin. Because this happens very quickly, the blood sugar level drops below the lower limit, which leaves a feeling of fatigue, irritability and depression.
Recently, many people have been thinking about whether to stop consuming sugar products and harmful foods. Topics related to healthy living are constantly being discussed and this is starting to have a positive effect and push us to take adequate measures, so that we are healthy and happy.
