I had a friend that consume sugar too much. He was my junior high school’s friend. Every time we ate, he always had sweets. Whether is foods or drinks. I ever asked her why he likes sugar so much and then he gave me the unthinkable answer “If I consume less sugar, I feel less energetic”. From this I understand that he has the certain reason to consume sugar too much although he already known about the dangers of consume it. The certain reasons why people consume sugar too much are they have childhood eating patterns that are difficult to change, believe that sugar can relieve stress, and sugar can prevent faint.
First the certain reasons why people consume sugar too much because of they have childhood eating patterns that are difficult to change. When they cried, their parents gave them sweets in order to stop them crying. It is difficult to change because it will rise over time and become a habit. That habit will be making the addicted in sweets. So that, they get happiness in their lives although they recognize it is addiction.
People believe that sugar can relieve stress. In fact, stress can burn your brain’s energy. If that thing happens, your brain will lose the energy, and it will have many effects. For example, when you get stress, the brain function doesn’t work well, and it can also destroy your mood. In order to avoid that, glucose which is one type of sugar, can become the main energy resource for the brain. Glucose also stimulate, accumbens, and nucleus hormones which generate happy feeling.
People also believe that sugar can prevent fainting. For people who faint easily, it is most often recommended to consume much sugar. The reason for this it contains high amounts of folate and iron which can strengthen the immune system and increase the amount of hemoglobin. If the amount of hemoglobin is normal so that it won’t make the blood pressure drop suddenly and it won’t cause faint.
The certain reasons why people consume much sugar although they already known the dangers because of having childhood eating patterns that are difficult to change, believe that sugar can relieve stress, and also believe that sugar can prevent fainting. But from all these reasons, you must know your own body's sugar needs. Perhaps our body's sugar needs will be different from other people's bodies. If you consume sugar correctly and appropriately, you will be healthy and avoid the dangers of consume much sugar.
