We have already talked about the need to limit sugar in the daily diet. And it is especially important to do this with the onset of spring.
The fact is that when it enters the bloodstream, sugar enters into a chemical bond with proteins, including collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity and youth of the skin.
This interaction has very negative consequences. First, collagen and elastin are destroyed, which means that the skin becomes drier, new wrinkles appear.
Secondly, in the body, when sugar and proteins elastin and collagen interact, new harmful substances are formed that make the skin vulnerable to sunlight. And since with the onset of spring the sun is more and more, then sugar in the body is a good soil for premature aging.
Sugar: crazy and depressing
One of the latest studies on the effect of sugar on the human body has shown that it can have a significant effect on the development of depressive mood in humans. Sugar lowers the level of the hormone BDNF, which is not enough produced in people with depression.
Another study shows that sugar abuse can increase feelings of anxiety. It turns out that the cake with which we seize stress, only for a short time fulfills the expectations assigned to it. And in the long run, it is only a new brick in the general feeling of anxiety.
Scientists conducted an experiment, as a result of which they proved the ability of sugar to influence the brain cells responsible for memory and learning. The experimental rats on which the experiments were carried out became considerably dull from the use of sugar. Sugar simply destroyed the connections between the corresponding cells in their brain.
