Impact of Glucose Addiction and Dopamine Release
Glucose addiction and dopamine release make it hard to resist the deep desire for sweet foods. Dopamine is everywhere, easily accessible and addictive. This addiction leads to cravings and a roller coaster of glucose levels, causing fatigue and stress on the body.
The Dangers of High Sugar Intake
Consuming high amounts of sugar, such as in sugary snacks, can lead to various health problems. Excessive sugar intake can cause arterial wall blockages, increase the risk of heart attacks, and contribute to metabolic disorders. However, changing dietary habits and reducing sugar intake can have a positive impact at any age.
The Link Between Glucose and Mental Health
Understanding the impact of glucose on mental health is crucial. Glucose levels directly affect brain function, mood, and overall mental well-being. A steady supply of glucose is important to avoid brain fog, irritability, and cravings. Additionally, the gut-brain axis plays a significant role in mental health, highlighting the importance of a healthy diet for optimal brain function.

Eating foods in a specific order can reduce glucose spikes by 75% and aid in weight loss. Starting with vegetables, followed by proteins and fats, and ending with starches and sugars helps regulate glucose levels and digestion.

Additionally, understanding the impact of different milks, like oat milk and nut milks, on glucose spikes can inform healthier choices.
