An Overview of the Impact of Daily Sugar Intake
We all love a sugary treat now and then, but excessive sugar consumption can have serious consequences for our health. Excess sugar intake is strongly linked to weight gain and obesity. When we consume more sugar than our body needs for energy, the excess is converted into fat and stored in our cells. This can lead to an increase in body weight and body mass index (BMI).
Furthermore, excessive sugar consumption has been associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
