Most people eat too much sugar or more than the recommended daily amount, which is 100 calories of sugar for women and 150 calories for men per day. Reducing sugar intake can prevent some serious health problems. Well, here are some bad effects of too much sugar, as reported by Livestrong.
Dental problems
Bacteria in the mouth can break down sweet foods and carbohydrates into acids that can cause cavities and tooth decay. Bacteria can eat whatever tucked in the crevices of the teeth, so the sticky foods such as raisins, soft candy or bread can cause damage to the teeth after eating. Reduce your daily sugar intake to prevent tooth decay.
Weight problems
People who drink sodas and fruit juices, the main source of sugar, are more likely to consume more calories than those who did not. They also tend to eat less nutritious foods that increase the risk of obesity. Reduce consumption of carbonated soda can reduce the intake of calories by 132 calories per can.
Heart problems
Too much sugar can cause high blood pressure, triglycerides and bad cholesterol, thereby increasing heart disease risk. Diabetes is also a health concern for people who love to eat too much sugar. To have a healthy heart, change your sweets with healthy carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, coupled with low-fat foods and plenty of exercise.
It is better to prevent than cure, right? So from now on, limit your daily intake of sugar intake.
