Sweet drinks, desserts, sweets, chocolates and other sweets have high sugar content and have great adverse effects on the body. The most obvious thing is that it will make people fat and have a small belly. Of course, it is also accompanied by intangible hazards, and the risk of type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases will also increase.
There are several reasons why you want to eat sweets:
1, has a natural love for sweetness.
Sweetness is the innate first taste of human beings, and it is also the taste of breast milk. For sugar, sweets and even everything with sweetness, human beings have a natural yearning and love, which is a skill we use to protect ourselves in the process of evolution, because most of the foods we can get are delicious, with sweetness or aroma, and sweetness represents safety, non-toxicity and energy supply.
2. Sweetness can make people feel happy.
If the blood sugar concentration is too low, the brain will lack energy, which will cause irritability. Therefore, when we feel hungry, our mood will get worse, and candy added with sucrose can be quickly decomposed into glucose, generating energy to fill the vacancy and make people feel happy in a short time.
3, the body energy supply is insufficient
If we are hungry, our bodies are in a low energy state, and we can't meet the energy needs of our bodies and brains. We are hungry, and our mouths are empty. Our brains, which can only be powered by carbohydrates, will send out signals. Because of the lack of energy, we want to eat, and we will crave all the food. Among them, sweets containing glucose, sucrose and fructose, which can provide energy quickly, have become the most desirable food for the brain.
4. The body lacks nutrition
The body's energy supply is insufficient, and nutrients naturally cannot meet the needs of the body. Carbohydrate, protein and fat are not nutritious enough, and they lack satiety and hunger for food. Studies have shown that the desire for sweets may also be related to the lack of magnesium. If you lack fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, especially dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, it is easy to lack magnesium.
I have been used to eating sweets since I was a child.
Improper feeding by parents in childhood can also cause a craving for sweets. The example around me is that a's parents give their children three meals and fruits and vegetables, while b's parents often give their children processed sweets such as cakes and sweet milk. The two children have completely different instinctive reactions to food. A children will go straight to bright fruits, and B children have a soft spot for cakes.
6. Excessive inhibition of sweets
If you always like sweets, but deliberately suppress them, you will multiply this desire. Once you start eating, you will be a little at a loss, and you will want some sugar when you eat anything.
7. Poor taste sensitivity
Eating something with heavy taste often will adapt to the taste, thus making our taste less sensitive. Therefore, we may want to eat sweets, because our sense of taste is not so sensitive and we need some flavors to stimulate it.
