Whenever the country celebrates the festive season, it becomes the “legal day to eat sweets” in the eyes of many sweets lovers, and there is no shortage of candy, snacks and drinks at home to add joy and entertain guests. Will my weight get higher? Older people – will my blood sugar become high? The frequency of these two questions should not be low, at least for the people I know, the number of times the two appear is too high, but also a more realistic problem. Why do some people have a particular love of sweets? People’s love of sweets, sometimes to a degree you can not imagine, not only to drink porridge, coffee need to add sugar, even drinking plain water, must come to spoon sugar. To a large extent, this is an instinctive response of our body when facing stress, that is, “people are facing stress, the desire for sweets will be more intense. This is because when stress strikes, certain hormones in the body (glucocorticoids) are activated, and these hormones can simply and brutally act directly on the receptor cells of certain taste sensations (sweet, fresh or bitter), thus affecting the response of these cells to sweet or other taste sensations in stressful situations. Is a sweet tooth more likely to lead to diabetes? There is no significant relationship between a high-sugar diet per se and diabetes, and surveys have shown that the incidence of diabetes is no higher in people on a high-sugar diet than in those on a high-protein, high-fat diet. Eating sweets does not directly cause diabetes, but eating large amounts of sweets for a long time will cause excessive insulin secretion and disruption of carbohydrate and fat metabolism, causing an imbalance in the body’s internal environment, and will also make the human blood acidic, which is not conducive to blood circulation and weakens the defense function of the immune system, which may also cause diabetes over time. Most diabetes is genetically determined, and you are advised to eat desserts in moderation. A long-term diet high in carbohydrates and fats can also induce diabetes. The key reason why diet becomes a triggering factor for diabetes is the excess energy caused by eating too much for a long time, the accumulation of nutrients causing obesity, the demand for insulin is also more, increasing the burden on the pancreas, and the accumulation of fat leading to relative insensitivity to insulin, which eventually leads to the development of diabetes. Although sweets are delicious and stress relieving, we remind our friends that any eating habits should be moderated, so as not to add too much burden to the body and to meet each day in good health, which is what our families are looking forward to.
