The risk of “getting” diabetes due to your favorite desserts is zero.
Sweet tooth will rejoice
Great news for those who can’t live a day without sweets! It turns out that horror stories from relatives that sweets and cakes increase the risk of developing diabetes do not have any scientific justification.
– Such speeches, for sure, at least once in a lifetime were heard by every person who loves sweets. However, I hasten to reassure fellow citizens: the assertion that sweet causes diabetes is pure myth, – said the endocrinologist Vadim Dudarenko.
Why does diabetes occur?
However, do not relax. As you know, increased consumption of sugar, flour and other carbohydrates leads to weight gain. Namely, obesity and overweight are the two main critical factors that contribute to the appearance of diabetes.
– In this regard, it is worth noting that the risk of becoming a diabetic is not only among those with a sweet tooth, but also those who like fatty, long high-calorie lunches and dinners. Whatever you eat in large quantities, it can be a trigger for a dangerous disease, the doctor reminds.
How to prevent the disease?
According to the expert, the best way to avoid diabetes is to adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle. in particular, you need to eat less harmful foods, do not overeat, do not abuse alcohol. But sports, moderate physical activity every day – have a very beneficial effect on health and reduce the chances of getting sick.
In addition, as Dudarenko emphasized, people over 45 should make it a habit to donate blood for sugar at least once a year. This will help to notice the dangerous signs of the disease in time and begin to treat it.
