Last week, we delved into the biological intricacies of sugar addiction... We must say that your curiosity and engagement were truly inspiring!

This week, let's explore another critical dimension of our relationship with sugar: the psychological aspects of sugar dependence!😇

Let's first understand the Mind-Sugar Connection…

Sugar does MORE than just satisfy our taste buds, it can also have a profound impact on our mental, psychological and emotional state. How so...?? Let's find out👇👇

Without any further ado...let's just jump right in ⬇️⬇️

✅ Comfort in Sweetness: Have you ever grabbed a sweet snack when upset or stressed? 

It's common. Sugar briefly boosts our mood, making us feel momentarily happier. Recognizing this can help us choose healthier ways to handle our emotions!

✅ Sugar as a Reward: Do you treat yourself to something sweet after a job well done? 

It's because sugar activates the brain's reward system, giving a sense of pleasure and achievement. This response can make us see sugar as a go-to reward!

✅ Mood Swings and Sugar: Have you ever noticed a change in mood after indulging in sugar? 

High sugar intake can lead to mood swings due to rapid spikes and drops in blood sugar levels, affecting your energy and emotions!
