Tips when overdoing sweets
1- Avoid sugar
When the body’s energy decreases due to sugars, the person feels a strong desire to eat more of them, to provide the body with vitality and activity, but if he does so, lethargy will remain in control of him.
Therefore, nutrition experts advise to avoid sugars completely, and replace them with a snack that includes food rich in proteins, such as peanut butter, and another that contains fiber, such as apples.
2- Moisturizing the body
If you overdo it on sweets, be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, to stimulate the kidneys to expel excess sugar through urine.
In addition, you should take care of eating watermelon, cucumber and melon, because these foods are rich in water, and also provide the body with nutrients that protect it from dehydration and maintain its fluid balance, such as potassium.
2- Walking
Walking plays a major role in maintaining the balance of blood sugar levels and reducing insulin, in addition to its ability to burn some calories that the body has gained due to sweets.
