IS SUGAR GOOD OR BAD FOR OUR HEALTH?

Someone asked me this question today and I will like to share my response to him with you.

Yes, sugar is very important for our wellness. Sugar is the main fuel that helps us to stay active and healthy. The cells of the body in our vital organs and brains need sugar ( glucose) used as energy to function well. However, the question we should ask is what type or from which source should we get healthy sugar?

It will be disastrous if you get most of the sugar you consume from added sugar which are abundant in processed foods and drinks.
We tend to consume more than the required amount of sugar our body literally needs because of the sweetness of the food and drinks we enjoy. That's why we are faced with obesity, hbp, diabetes, hormonal imbalance e.t.c.

The healthy sugar must be got from carbohydrates, fruits, protein and healthy fat in their ADEQUATE PROPORTION. Therefore, the next time you want to eat, choose natural sugar over added sugar to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

THE SWEET DEATH TRAPS

Added sugar is any sugar added to a food either by you, a manufacturing company or a chef before you consume it.

Some of the food that contain added sugar are soft drinks, processed juice, biscuits, cakes, doughnuts, buns, chocolates e.t.c.

Eating these food in excess are unhealthy as we are advancing in age. Even, children must not consume them in excess. The reason is many people ignorantly consume more than the amount (grams) of sugar that their body require per day due to the sweetness of such food thereby causing harm to the body.
