CAUTION/ How does high sugar affect brain health? The experts speak

The health effects of high sugar are now well known. Diseases such as Type 1 or 2 diabetes are caused precisely by this substance that is present in everyone's diet.

But recently, experts show that sugar has negative effects on the health of the brain and mind. Lower blood sugar levels, in turn, are associated with better brain health, according to new research from University College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

The study published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism referred to by AgroWeb.org shows that keeping sugar levels under control is related to the prevention of mental illnesses.

Experts report that people diagnosed with prediabetes who have high blood sugar levels are 54% more likely to develop mental illness than people with normal blood sugar levels.

In fact, prediabetes is seen as the most dangerous period to develop this disease due to the various reactions that occur in the brain.

Doctors say that high sugar levels, even if they are not chronic, cause inflammation

Over time, this inflammation of the brain, if it is chronic, affects faster aging, affecting diseases that affect the mind.

Sugar causes the vessels to narrow, harden and leak harmful chemicals, causing what is called vascular dementia.

Experts say these studies are still early days, but show a clear link between sugar and brain damage.

So they suggest that you always keep your sugar levels under control in order to keep away all the dangers that it brings.
