Health talk: Did You Know Sugar Can Trigger Depression?

While folks are very aware that eating a lot of sweet things, refined sugar can ruin your figure or hurt their health, they still indulge.

Especially during weekends, people decide to not be too hard on themselves and just eat some sweeteners.

While I can understand that, it is important to clarify that the disadvantages clearly outweighs the temporal enjoyment.

Most people don't know it has an select on your mood as well.

When you eat sweets or sugar, your blood sugar takes an instant surge, your cells begin to absorb it and as a result, it gives your body fast energy.

However, these supplies are depleted, that is it comes with feeling neurotic, irritable and anxious.

If you're one of those who indulge in a lot of sweet products or your diet is full of it, then this circle will never stop.

One minute you are hyper and energized, the next minute your moody and feel as if all the buzz in you had crashed.

This will eventually have a negative effect on your mood.

Medically, I would advise that you consent not more than 6 teaspoon of sugar in a day, that is 25 grams, including those in ready made products.

For example a 330ml glass of orange juice contains 32grams of sugar, a glass of coke contains 32grams of sugar.

Scientists have compared eating habits of almost 3,500 middle aged people and some of them gave preference to refined products such as white bread, chocolate,sweet desserts,fried foods etc.

While others proffered fruits, vegetables and fish.

After five years, the risk of depression increased by 58% in people from the first group and decreased by 26% in the second group.

The fact is, sugar is addictive.

Once you start going through the circle of instant high energy to low or immediate buzz crash, you'd eventually start needing that sugary thing.

You'd crave it like a drug and you'd depend on it to get your buzz for almost anything.

Stay away from sugar. It kills, slowly.
