With the continuous development of society, everyone's living conditions are getting better and better, so a lot of food has begun to become more abundant. Diet determines health, and the food you eat determines your physical condition to a large extent. However, in recent years, the Chinese people's sugar consumption has remained high, and even the country cannot stand it anymore, and has strongly called on children to reduce their sugar intake! Recently, the country has launched a special campaign to “reduce sugar”. Primary and secondary schools and daycare institutions have restricted the sale of high-sugar drinks and snacks, and canteens have reduced the supply of sugary drinks and high-sugar foods. I believe that this is very gratifying for most parents.

How harmful is "sugar"? One mouthful of sugar will ruin your whole body from top to bottom!
This is not alarmist. The World Health Organization has investigated the causes of death in 23 countries and concluded that sugar addiction is more harmful than smoking. Moreover, the average life span of people who are addicted to high-sugar foods for a long time is 10-20 years shorter than that of people who eat a normal diet.
Hazard 1: Bad Teeth
Excessive sugar intake can easily lead to dental caries in children. This is because the sugar remaining in the mouth is most easily decomposed by bacteria and then fermented, producing acidic substances that corrode teeth and easily lead to dental caries. There are many children around me who almost never leave their mouths such as coke and drinks. Every time they have their teeth checked at school, many children either have cavities or their mouths are full of black spots that are completely rotten. There are many children like this around me. What is the reason? They drink too much carbonated drinks and sugary drinks.
Hazard 2: High blood sugar, obesity
Eating sugar will not directly lead to diabetes, but long-term high-sugar diet will increase the burden on the pancreatic islets and lead to obesity. At the same time, these reasons can increase the risk of diabetes. Some time ago, there was a news report that a 20-year-old young woman suddenly fell into a deep coma and was sent to the hospital for rescue. After examination, it turned out that she was in a deep coma caused by an explosion of blood sugar. The family is puzzled, how could such a young person have diabetes? The doctor said that the girl usually does not like to exercise or eat vegetables. She also eats a high-sugar diet and likes to drink drinks with high sugar content. Not only does she become fat, but when sugar accumulates in the body to a certain extent, It will break out one day. And once people become obese, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, heart problems, etc. will come to their doorstep.
Hazard 3: High uric acid, gout
Excessive sugar can easily lead to the formation of endogenous uric acid in the human body, and excessive uric acid can cause gout. For people who drink a lot of sweet drinks, the incidence of gout is 120 times higher than for people who don't drink sweet drinks. Therefore, don’t be surprised if some children develop gout now. Drinking too many drinks for a long time can really cause gout.
Hazard 4. Brain slowness, affecting intelligence and vision
Eating too much sweets will affect people's intelligence, slow the brain's response, and reduce learning and memory. We all know that vitamin B1 protects the optic nerve. Whether the eyesight is good or not, whether the vitamin B1 is sufficient is very important. However, due to excessive intake of sugar, our body must consume a large amount of vitamin B1 to metabolize sugar. This is called compensatory phenomenon. Eating a large amount of sweets for a long time will not only easily fatigue the eyes, but also affect vision.
Hazard 5. Injury to blood vessels
Sweets can increase triglycerides in the blood, increase blood viscosity, easily lead to high blood lipids, and even lead to the formation of thrombosis.
Hazard 6: Affecting height and destroying bones
Young women and children like to eat sweets, but excessive sugar intake will affect the body's absorption of calcium in food. Insufficient calcium in the body will affect bone development and cause osteoporosis. In addition, excess sugar will inhibit the secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland and affect the growth of children.
Hazard 7: Susceptibility to gynecological diseases
When women consume too much sugar, it can easily lead to vaginitis and increase the risk of breast, uterine and other diseases.
Sugar is closely related to our lives. We need sugar to provide energy, but sugar intake cannot be excessive. Recommendation: The daily intake of added sugar per person should not exceed 50 grams, and try to keep it within 25 grams.
25 grams of sugar, maybe you don’t know how much it is. Let’s use an analogy. Drink a 330 ml bottle of Coke, which contains about 35 grams of sugar. Drink a 430 ml bottle of juice, which contains about 45 grams of sugar. A few pieces of sweetened sugar. Biscuits are about 10 grams... This is only a small part of your daily diet. If you add up the sugar intake, it is far more than 50 grams. Therefore, we unknowingly consume excessive amounts of sugar every day, and we ignore it.
How to "quit sugar", please remember these points:
1. Do not take the initiative to drink sugary drinks and drink less lactic acid bacteria drinks. When drinking coffee and soy milk, add less or no sugar.
2. Eat less sweet foods, such as cakes and juice (if you must drink juice, limit it to 1 cup, which is about the amount of a disposable cup).
3. If you drink brown sugar water or honey water on the same day, you should avoid other sweet foods on the same day to avoid excessive sugar.
4. Eat less dried meat, dried meat, plums and some highly processed snacks. These foods often contain a lot of sugar for taste.
5. Cook less dishes that require added sugar, such as braised pork, and use as little sugary sauces as ketchup.
Eat less sugar and stay away from sugar. Welcome to repost to keep more friends away from the harm of "sugar-coated bullets"
