Hold the sugar, sugar - Sugar and the brain

IS SUGAR GOING STRAIGHT TO YOU YOUR HEAD?

Sugar and the brain...

The Situation

  • Sugar. We're overexposed and under-satisfied, causing the reward centre in our brain to stop working.

  • We become more addicted to sugar than to our phone...almost

 So What?

  • Well you see, the liver can't process sugar in excess...so here come the health problems

  • Hormones are messier than a teenage boys bedroom

  • Diabetes, heart disease, and obesity...eeek, to name a few

 
What Now?

  • Our brains simply aren’t telling us we’ve had enough and addiction pathways are being signalled.

  • We need to retrain our brain to realise 'sweet' doesn't have to mean sugar.
