12 Signs You're Eating TOO Much Sugar & Carbs

12 signs you're eating too much sugar or processed carbohydrates this video is for educational purposes only so please speak with your doctor if you suspect you have pre-diabetes sign number one is the midday slump one of the most common signs that you're eating too much sugar is where you suddenly feel very tired and sleepy between 1: to 300 p.m. eating too much sugar or starch in the morning or the afternoon makes your blood sugars rise a little too high insulin in your blood then pushes these blood sugars down too sharply causing you to have low

blood sugars and this makes you feel very tired brain foggy and drowsy in the afternoon two constantly thirsty if you feel thirsty all of the time even after drinking a lot of water you get a persistent dry mouth or you're constantly going to the toilet to urinate especially at night you likely have high blood sugars because you're eating the wrong Foods your kidneys are dumping more water to try and get rid of the extra sugar that's in your blood and this leaves you feeling thirsty sign number three collagen loss if you notice that your skin

is starting to Sag and lose its natural bounce back elasticity this may be caused by high blood sugars and eating too many processed carbohydrates what's happening is the extra sugar in your blood is binding to the proteins in your skin making it more prone to wrinkles and sagging sugar also depletes your vitamin C reserves which causes collagen loss as well four blurry vision you may notice in one or both of your eyes that your vision suddenly becomes blurry when your blood sugars are high the glucose sugar that's in your blood Blood starts leaking from the

blood vessels into the lenses of your eyes the sugar then draws water into the lenses which changes their shape and affects how the light enters the retina this causes your vision to become very blurry and it's harder to focus and read this is why people with diabetes usually also need prescription glasses because the sugar damages their eyes in the long term sign five red gums whenever you eat refined sugar or processed carbohydrates like bread cereal or pasta insulin levels rise to allow the sugar to enter your cells unfortunately the extra sugar blocks vitamin C from

entering your cells and sadly this weakens your gums the lack of vitamin C causes your gums to bleed more often and they become redder especially after brushing your teeth six hungry between meals now when you bombard your cells with lots of sugar and starches eventually they can't handle any more fuel so they start saying no to anymore and they block energy from entering them this is called insulin resistance the problem is that this leaves your cells starving for nutrients so you have this urge and need to eat more snacks and you feel hungry all of

the time you may eat a very large meal and have a very full stomach but you still feel the need to keep eating this is insulin resistance and is a classic sign that your body needs the rest from all the sugars and starches whereas a health person in contrast can eat two solid meals per day and feel very satisfied without needing any food or snacks in between sign number seven sweet Cravings some people also get a very strong urge to eat sweet Foods after they've consumed a meal this again is a result of insulin resistance

where your cells are very burnt out and they aren't getting enough fuel the problem is that eating that sugary snack only starts an endless cycle of Cravings later in this video I'll teach you how to break the cycle and get your health back on track sign number eight is a puffy face e eating too much sugar or starches also causes your blood to carry more sodium and water this puts pressure on your blood vessels and they begin leaking excess water into the spaces between your cells essentially your body is becoming very water logged and swollen

particularly around your face and eyes eating better can help your body to dump this extra fluid and bring down the swelling nine chronic sinus infection lots of people also have a chronic sinus infection all year round where your nose feels very congested and stuffy with pressure around your eyes and forehead or you may get a constant drip of mucus down your throat that may cause a tickle cough unfortunately sugary foods and starches feeds the microbes that are infecting your sinuses so your immune system never has the chance to destroy them causing a sinus infection that

just doesn't go away 10 constant tiredness people who've had high blood sugars or high insulin for a long time also tend to feel tired most of the day you'll feel like no matter how much sleep you get you can never fully recharge this is a problem that I suffered with personally quite a lot until I corrected my diet the processed foods and the sugars are depleting your electrolytes and your vitamin B1 so all of your cells including your brain cells aren't able to make the energy that they need to so moving on to number 11

which is a white tongue a white coating on your tongue is caused by a fungal infection called Candida fungi like candida lives on sugar so the more you eat the more you feed it and it spreads across the tongue and to other parts of the body as well and 12 is a pounding heart you may also notice that after you've had a lot of cakes biscuits or sweet sugary snacks that your heart begins pounding in your chest this happens when your liver uses up all of your stored potassium and magnesium to try and handle the

sugar leaving none of these minerals available to keep your heartbeat in its normal Rhythm this pounding in the chest can also happen when you consume too much caffeine alcohol or you exercise too heavily other symptoms there are also a few other symptoms that you may get if you've had high blood sugar or insulin for a longer period of time for example you may get tingling or burning in your feet or hands which could be a sign of nerve damage caused by the high blood sugars darkened skin patches that appear on the neck under the arms

or the folds of the body are caused by pre-diabetes over thinking and anxiety can also be triggered by high blood sugars which is depleting your B1 and neurotransmitters like serotonin personally I find that when I keep the starches and the sugars out of my diet my mind and my body relaxes quite a lot better and if you get a cold more than two to three times a year the junk Foods may be weakening your immune system leaving you open to infections now if you have a selection of the signs and symptoms seen in this video
