Sugar is present everywhere in our diet, sometimes in unexpected ways. However, recent studies indicate that it would be better not to ingest it before a certain time of the day due to its effects on our body and our metabolism. So when can we consume it without destroying all our efforts to stay in shape? We tell you everything.
Sugar: the enemy of weight loss
For a long time, excess fat has been blamed for weight gain. Most diets tracked down even the most minimal traces of fat, adopting the trend of 0% fat and steam cooking. In reality, the situation is more complex: what mainly disrupts the metabolism is excess sugar and foods containing hidden sugars.
In addition to weight problems, excessive consumption of sugary products is particularly harmful to health. Excess sugar also generates a inflammatory state chronic, alters the intestinal flora, creates acidity in the body, and contributes to cardiovascular problems and hypertension.
No sugar before 1 p.m.
According to the words of Doctor Jean-Pierre Willem, whose Gala reports, consuming sugar in the morning leads to the elimination of tryptophan. But what is tryptophan? It is an amino acid used in the synthesis of our own proteins, and more particularly in the production of a neurotransmitter called serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone associated with well-being, the joy of livingand especially the feeling of satiety.
The consumption of sugar before 1 p.m. therefore hinders this conversion, disrupting the feeling of satiety and can trigger cravings. Additionally, when our body receives a large dose of sugar on an empty stomach, it works to regulate blood sugar levels. The problem lies in the signal sent to the pancreas to produce insulin, inducing a drop in blood sugar, thus leading to a hypoglycemic state and arousing a demand for food.
