The truth is that most people like sugar. And there are many who are addicted to it. However, it is also one of the biggest enemies of a healthy diet.
And while experts say we need to get it out - or even limit it, many are struggling. But if they succeed then they will see a number of benefits.
See below, what will happen to your body when you cut sugar:
You will look younger
According to experts, sugar causes wrinkles, because its molecules bind and deform collagen and elastin, the two basic proteins that the skin needs to be elastic and fresh.
You will be less likely to get depressed
Yes, you too have heard that sweets make you feel better, boosting your mood. But it is actually a myth, as sugar consumption has been linked to higher rates of depression. The reason is that it causes chronic inflammation, which affects the function of the brain.
You will strengthen your immune system
Sugar causes chronic inflammation, which reduces the immune system's ability to fight colds and flu. Eliminating sugar from the diet is associated with fewer colds and reduced allergy and asthma symptoms.
You will live longer
When blood glucose rises after consuming sugar, insulin also rises as a compensation, activating part of the nervous system, blood pressure and heart rate. After all, it is known that increased sugar consumption is associated with diabetes and obesity. So, if you eliminate it from your diet, you gain more years of life.
You will improve your love life
And yet, consuming sugar also affects your love life. In particular, a sharp rise in blood sugar in men leads to a decrease in sexual desire and worse performance. While in women it affects hormones, which causes problems in sex, but also hair loss, acne and menstrual irregularities.
