Fat deposits are not the only thing that accounts for excess weight. Carbohydrates are to blame too. The thing is sugar is often hidden in popular consumer products, such as juices, sodas, cereals, salad dressings, yogurts, candies and many more, that you ingest it without even being aware of it.
If your body is overloaded with sugar, you’ll experience symptoms such as hyperactivity, chronic fatigue, yeast infections, headaches, depression, colds, sinus problems, sleepiness, mental disorientation, etc. But, this is not all. The worst side effects from excessive sugar intake include an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, especially breast cancer.
The relation between sugar and weight gain
What happens to sugar in the body is that some of it is used as energy, while the rest is stored as fat. But, there’s a big difference between refined and natural sugars. The body reacts to refined sugar, which goes to the intestines, as an intestinal bacterium. This sugar increases blood sugar levels, which leads to fat deposits in the waist, hip, and thigh area over time.
