Milk tea cake dessert, "tempting" us all the time, "adding some sugar" to ourselves.
But do you know? Although sugar brings a sweet and good mood, it may also be a health trap.
Today, Pudong CDC will tell you what the true face of the candy you eat in your life is?
Sweet C Position: Glucose
Glucose plays an important role in the field of biology. It is the energy source and metabolic intermediate product of living cells , that is, the main energy supply substance of organisms, mainly from the bread, vegetables, grain and other foods we eat. Glucose is widely used in the candy manufacturing and pharmaceutical fields.
Member No. 2: Lactose (Lactose)
Lactose is a sugar possessed by mammals. It is a carbohydrate unique to mammalian milk, and disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. During the growth and development of infants and young children, lactose not only provides energy, but also participates in the development process of the brain.
Member No. 3: Sucrose
Sucrose is the main ingredient of edible sugar and is a type of disaccharide made by condensation and dehydration of glucose and fructose . Sucrose is almost universally found in leaves, flowers, stems, seeds and fruits in the plant world. The content is particularly rich in sugar cane, beet and maple sap. Sucrose is sweet and odorless, and is an important food and sweet condiment.
member No. 4: Fructose (Fructose)
Fructose is the sweetest natural sugar monosaccharide , which is found in fruit juice and honey. In the past, fructose was very rare and could only be found in fruit and vegetable honey. However, with the development of technology, the technology for producing fructose is becoming more and more mature. Now fructose is everywhere. If you eat foods containing fructose, you will notice it, because fructose is mainly used as a sweetener in food.
What happens to our body when we eat candy? After sugar enters the body, it will be broken down into two parts: glucose and fructose. They will both reach the liver. Once it reaches the liver, glucose is immediately converted into energy and stored for the body's needs, just like the electricity stored in the battery; fructose is different. They are broken down and released into the blood, and when the batteries stored in our body are full, it will be converted into fat immediately. If a part of the fat is retained in the liver, the risk of insulin tolerance and diabetes will increase. At the same time, the fat retained in the liver will be sent to the blood in the form of triglyceride , which will bring overweight problems and increase the possibility of vascular obstruction and heart disease.
is very important to order sweets in moderation
Many studies have confirmed that as long as you consume it in moderation, mastering the best time to eat sugar is beneficial to the human body. For example, when taking a bath, you need to sweat a lot and consume your energy. You need to replenish water and calories. Eating sugar can prevent exhaustion; when exercising, you need to consume heat energy, and sugar can provide heat energy faster than other foods; when you are tired and hungry, sugar can be quickly absorbed and increased blood sugar; when you are dizzy and nauseous, eating some sugar can increase blood sugar and stabilize your mood, which is conducive to normalization; eating some sugar after meals can make people feel energetic and energetic when studying and working.
is too sweet, but it is a trap. Are you ready to pick up the milk tea in your hand and sip it?
But Pudong Disease Control and Prevention should remind everyone: Eating candy is addictive.
Regular consumption of large amounts of sugar will increase the threshold of the brain reward area, making us feel: "I haven't eaten enough yet, I have to eat more to be full."
Eating sugar is the same as smoking, which will harm human health in the following three aspects:
Oral diseases
Intake of excessive sugar, the sugar stays in the mouth and reacts with bacteria to produce substances, which will corrode the enamel and cause damage to the teeth.
damages the skin
sugar reacts with collagen in the skin, and the collagen loss of the skin will become loose.
affects bone health
Excessive sugar intake will affect people's absorption of calcium in food, which may cause calcium deficiency in the body.According to the World Health Organization standards, both adults and children should control sugar intake to within 10% of their total energy intake.
Finally, let me summarize it for you: Eating sugar in moderation is beneficial to life, but if you have too much sugar, you will fall into a sweet trap!
