He is in the bread consumed for breakfast, in the preparation of drinks and in most recipes. And it is also one of the biggest health villains: refined sugar. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a maximum of 10% of daily calories should come from sugar consumption.

Excess consumption can cause several health problems. According to nutritionist Juliana Vieira, sugar does not have a good nutritional value and is quite caloric. She listed the signs the body gives when you have high blood sugar.

-Increased feeling of thirst;
-Increased feeling of hunger;
-Headaches;
-Difficulty concentrating;
-Blurred vision;
-Fatigue;
-Itching;
-Dry mouth;
-Weight swing.

Juliana pointed out that excess sugar can lead to chronic diseases such as:

1. Circulatory problems: Excess glucose in the blood can cause vessel obstruction and thus lead to cardiovascular problems.

2. Difficulty in the healing process: Sugar intake triggers an inflammatory process within the cells, which disrupts the healing process of cells and tissues.

3. Diabetes: It is characterized by a state of constant hyperglycemia, which is due in some cases to insufficient insulin production by the body – type 1 diabetes – or insufficient insulin action – type 2 diabetes – and often to a combination of these two factors.

4. Kidney problems: With high glucose, the kidneys are overloaded to filter the blood – which can cause some long-term problems.

The nutritionist made a recommendation about sugar consumption. “Give preference to natural sweeteners (such as honey and xylitol) or even brown and demerara sugars, which are healthier options. Life is lighter and sweeter without sugar”, finished.
