HEALTH BENEFITS OF SUGAR

A lot of people think that sugar is harmful to the human body, but the researchers from the food nutrition and health, human biology, basic and clinical medicine, exercise physiology and level of science and other different angles, the sugar And the relationship between the health of a scientific argument, made a "moderate sugar is conducive to human health" this argument.


Experts believe that sugar is the body's most economical and safest energy material, but also an important structural material of the human body, its function is irreplaceable. Sugar is divided into monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides three categories, the body can be directly absorbed only monosaccharides.

Glucose and its sub-molecular composition of sugar is the main form of human sugar storage. Sugar in the body of the metabolic process, after "burning" to produce energy for human movement and growth needs, human brain tissue only rely on glucose for energy, which is any other heat can not be replaced.

Sugar is also involved in the body of a variety of important life activities, it and other substances in the body combined with enzymes, antibodies, hormones, etc., to regulate the body's physiological function is of great significance.

It is generally misunderstood that "sugar is likely to cause obesity and increase the chance of suffering from cardiovascular and diabetes."

Experts point out that obesity in addition to genetic factors and endocrine factors, the important cause is the total energy intake of the human body is greater than the expenditure. Metabolic tests show that diets are most likely to cause obesity to be fat rather than sugar.

Modern medicine that the causes of diabetes in addition to genetic, mental retardation and infection, obesity is also an important risk factor. Sugar will not directly lead to obesity, diabetes, and sugar is also no relationship, and the main cause of diabetes is due to damage to the function of the human islet caused. Normal eating sugar does not cause high blood sugar or diabetes.

Sugar is one of the causes of obesity, but the body's demand for sugar can not be ignored. Nutrition experts point out that eating a little sugar after a meal can reduce the accumulation of fat.

The latest study pointed out that while eating fiber foods and sugar to lose weight. Researchers said the sugar is generally broken down in the small intestine, will be converted into blood sugar and fat. But when the fiber is eaten, the arabinose in the fiber will prevent the enzyme from decomposing the sugar, and the undecomposed glucose will then be sent to the large intestine by microbial decomposition, which will produce a large amount of organic acid.

As the organic acid can slow down the fat in the liver manufacturing, can achieve the effect of weight loss. This method of eating can not only thin, but also help against the phenomenon of obesity, can prevent diabetes and high blood pressure.

Sugar is an important source of heat and energy supply to the body and can provide the necessary energy fuel for physical and mental workers. If the "fuel energy" shortage, the body of labor and internal organs of the operation, is bound to frequent accidents or ineffective.

When the lack of physical energy and lack of heat, the most common warning signal is sweating, palpitation, dizziness, blood pressure and difficult to ward off the hypoglycemia response, there will be waist and back cold limb cold and so on.

Although sugar may not directly lead to diabetes, but long-term large consumption of desserts will lead to excessive insulin secretion, carbohydrate and fat metabolism disorders, causing the body's environmental disorders, and thus promote a variety of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity Senile cataract, dental caries, myopia, rickets occur.

Eat sweets also make the body's blood acidic, is not conducive to blood circulation, and weaken the immune system's defense function.

In particular, the experts pointed out that inadequate intake of sugar can lead to irrational dietary structure. As China's traditional dietary patterns are being hit by Western food culture, the intake of animal foods (protein and fat) increases, while plant foods (carbohydrates) are significantly reduced.

According to the national agency conducted a national nutrition survey shows that: China's domestic diet in the fat to provide the energy of 30%, protein provides 24% of the energy. This diet pattern and reasonable dietary requirements (55% -60% of the total body from the carcass, 25% from the protein, 12% -15% from the fat) is far from the threat, thus threatening the health of the human body, which is Western developed The country over the years to take the detours, should arouse our attention.

Sugar too much harmful, eat more sweets, people will be due to excessive intake of energy and satiety, affecting the other rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber food intake. Over time, will lead to nutritional deficiencies, developmental disorders, obesity and other diseases.

On the other hand, sugar metabolism in the body needs to consume a variety of vitamins and minerals, therefore, often eat sugar can cause vitamin deficiency, calcium deficiency, potassium deficiency and other nutritional problems.

Nutrition survey also found that although sugar does not directly lead to diabetes, but a large number of long-term consumption of desserts will lead to excessive insulin secretion, carbohydrate and fat metabolism disorders, causing the body's environmental disorders, and thus promote a variety of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, Diabetes, obesity, senile cataract, dental caries, myopia, rickets occur.

Eat sweets also make the body's blood acidic, is not conducive to blood circulation, and weaken the immune system's defense function.

Studies have shown that loving desserts may also cause physical and psychological dependence. Sweetness is the first person to accept and pursue the taste after birth, like to eat sweets is an instinctive reaction. Although a lot of dessert is harmful, but if a small amount and at the right time to eat, health also has some benefits.

For example, when the blood glucose concentration is reduced, a small amount of sugar can be added in an emergency. Hypoglycemic patients will feel hungry hungry, limbs, soft, the best way is to immediately drink a cup of sugar. People who do not have good breakfast, near noon often feel dizzy, attention can not be concentrated, thinking ability to decline, then if you eat dessert, you can quickly restore the brain function.

In addition, sports medicine research confirmed that athletes in the strenuous exercise before adding a small amount of sugar-containing drinks, can help them improve their athletic performance; exercise after the timely sugar, can eliminate fatigue. Ordinary people if in the bath before the hunger, need to increase attention when a small amount of sugar, but also good.

Eat what sugar is good: if you want to find a balance between sweets and health, eating red pond more healthy. Hongtang: also known as "black sugar", "brown sugar", contains more iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and other minerals, has a high nutritional value, but also conducive to the body's acid-base balance.

Oligosaccharides: refers to oligofructose, oligosaccharides, isomaltooligosaccharides, their calories are very low, with "the role of ecological balance", and some known as the "bifidus factor", can promote the body useful Bacteria growth, inhibition of intestinal pathogens and spoilage bacteria breeding.
