Does sugar make you age faster?
Did you know that one of your daily eating habits is making you age faster? Rest assured, it's an easily preventable problem.
The myth of sugar
Often demonized, sugar is frequently presented as the enemy to be banished from our diets. However, this perspective is not only erroneous but also potentially harmful. Sugar (carbohydrates), like fats (lipids) and proteins, plays a fundamental role in our health. What matters is the quality and quantity consumed.
The importance of sugars
Sugars are a crucial source of energy for our bodies, especially for the brain and muscles. The problem isn't sugar itself, but how our bodies handle blood sugar fluctuations.
Frequent blood sugar spikes can lead to premature aging of the body.
How to manage sugar consumption:
-
Hygiene of life
Exercise regularly. A simple exercise like a 15-minute walk after lunch can help regulate blood sugar.
-
Micronutrition
The key is to provide your body with the right nutrients. Elements like vitamin D , magnesium, and zinc are essential for effective blood sugar management.
Practical advice ✅: avoid overly sweet breakfasts, such as sliced bread with jam.
So it's perfectly acceptable to indulge in a slice of cake from time to time. The important thing is to do it thoughtfully and in a balanced way. Don't forget to encourage your loved ones to adopt healthy habits, such as a digestive walk after a large meal.
Let us remember to eat a variety of foods, but mindfully and in moderation.
