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.
