Sugar is one of the most addictive substances we all consume more than we should. Avoiding sugar is almost impossible – it is present in almost any type of food we eat, including fresh fruits as well. Sugar is a highly addictive substance that can seriously damage your health. Most people don’t know that their health is in danger, which is why you need to recognize the 7 signs of sugar overload. Here they are:

FATIGUE AND LACK OF ENERGY
Feeling robbed of energy and tired is definitely a sign of too much sugar in your body. Sugar may increase your energy levels for a short time, but it will make you crash down to earth later.

FREQUENT INFECTIONS, FLU AND COLDS
Consuming too much sugar can definitely weaken your immune system and make you more prone to infections such as colds and the flu. Luckily, this can all be resolved by lowering your sugar intake.

BRAIN FOG AFTER MEALS
Brain fog is one of the most common sugar overload symptoms. High sugar consumption may raise your blood sugar levels instantly, but they will drop down shortly after, resulting in brain fog and other cognitive problems.

SUGAR AND CARB CRAVINGS

If you’re cravings sugar and carbs frequently, you are a sugar addict already. As we already mentioned, sugar is highly addictive, with some experts comparing its effects to those of cocaine.

WEIGHT GAIN
Weight gain is the worst aesthetical sugar overload problem. The more sugar you eat, the more calories you will get. Sugar stimulates the production of insulin which transports the substance to cells and organs where it is converted to energy.

This will raise the risk of obesity and other cardiovascular problems as well.
