Another Reason to Stay Away from Sugar

There are certain foods types that we’ve been raise to skip. To start with childhood up to the adolescence stage mainly because of the detrimental effect in our health. A food with high content of sugar is one of those, since it can cause tooth decay, weight gain and raise our blood glucose levels to the extent that we would already be having insulin complications. In this case a chronic disease will start known as diabetes.

Diabetes Mellitus, more popularly called diabetes, is a chronic disorder that involves the abnormal high glucose levels. Diabetes is diagnosed as either type I or type II. The first type deals with juvenile type of diabetes; this type is that case wherein the diabetic persons supposed to have artificial insulin injected to his or her system so as to control the blood sugar levels in the system. Meanwhile, the other type of diabetes is the one that is easier to regulate. In this type of diabetes, the disorder can be managed through diet and exercise, plus the aid of some medicines that are expected to lower blood sugar levels. This type of diabetes, also called as the adult-onset type of diabetes, is the case wherein the pancreas of the diabetic person is still able to secrete insulin, but it is not sufficient to lower blood sugar levels to the normal range. Meanwhile, the juvenile type of diabetes is the type of diabetes that needs insulin injection because the pancreas of the diabetic person is no longer equipped to produce insulin to lower blood sugar levels.

Indeed, we must avoid sugary foods because of the fact that it can lead many health complications. In addition there is another reason to forego of our sweet cravings.

In the recent study the over consumption of sugary foods leads to changes in brain receptors. The results have implications for understanding bulimia and other binge eating disorders.

Researchers report that either interminable eating or binge eating a high sugar diet alters opioid receptor levels in an area of the brain that controls food intake. Opioids exist naturally in the brain and have been related to feelings of pleasure and euphoria.

The new findings also suggest that over consumption of these foods retains binge eating by enhancing opioids in the brain, and that increased opioids could be a factor involved in binge eating disorders.
