Sugar, the flavor we enjoy in our foods and drinks, can be friend and foe at the same time. Depending on how much we eat, it may give us the energy we need or it may lead to major health problems. According to Dr. Nadezhda Chernyshova, a healthy person can eat no more than 25 grams of sugar per day.
Sugar is a quick source of energy, especially during times of intense intellectual work. This means that a moderate amount of sugar can be beneficial, especially when you need a quick energy boost.
What can sugar do to our body?
Sugar is a quick source of energy, especially during times of intense intellectual work. This means that eating sugar in moderate amounts may be beneficial, especially when you need a quick boost of energy, warns Dr. Chernyshova of the dangers of eating too much sugar. Too much sugar in our diet can lead to many health problems, such as weight gain, risk of type 2 diabetes, and chronic cardiovascular disease.
How does sugar affect the feet?
Nerve damage, or what is known as neuropathy, is one of the most common effects of diabetes on the feet. This damage leads to a loss of sensation in the feet, which means that a person may not feel pain when there is an injury or irritation. Changes in sensation alter the way people with diabetes bear weight on their feet. This can lead to the formation of excess areas of keratosis, which increases the risk of cracked skin.
Diabetes can cause poor circulation to the feet, which can hinder the healing process when ulcers are present. Diabetes affects the body’s ability to fight infection, making foot ulcers more susceptible to infection.
