Sugar, my love ... Why do we love sugar so much?
Sugar, an attraction related to childhood
It is not always assumed and yet we must admit: we love the sugar, in all its forms ! What we often do not know, however, is that this attraction is due to infancy. (This is not entirely our fault if the diets thinness fail at the first apple of love come ...). Indeed, breast milk consumed when we were only an infant was naturally rich in sugar (lactose). He has developed the appetite for this taste, engraved forever.
"My mother did not breastfeed me" Yes, but you certainly drank industrial milk (mostly made with cow's milk). If sucrose doses of the latter are currently regulated by law, this has not always been the case and that is how you have been used to sweet taste.
Sugar, essential to our body
When we ingest sugarit becomes glucose in our blood. It is then the main engine of the brain, muscles and all cells. Be careful though not to consume too much!
An excessive consumption of sugar triggers an excessive secretion of insulin, responsible for the regulation of glucose in our body. The fat is then stored and our weight increases sharply.
In addition, a peak blood sugar undeniably leads to a craving, so it is essential to regulate our contributions in sugar by adopting a balanced diet and distinguishing the good ones sugars'bad. In any case, they should not exceed more than 10% of the total calories ingested in a day.
