With the temptation of various delicacies, many people can’t stand the temptation and fall into the distress of obesity.

Many people attribute various foods to the culprit of obesity, sugar, carbohydrates, high-calorie foods, so which one is the culprit of obesity?

sugar

Sugar can be found everywhere in our life, from all kinds of fruit juice drinks, to all kinds of cakes and desserts, and even many people like sweet dishes. So what role does sugar play in our bodies, and is it the basic cause of obesity?

The types of sugars are divided into two main categories, monosaccharides and complex sugars.

Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, galactose, etc. Complex sugars include sucrose, lactose, maltose, etc.

When we consume complex sugars, the body takes these complex sugars and breaks them down into simple sugars.

When the human body ingests monosaccharide-type sugars, such as galactose, they are absorbed into the bloodstream and function. Not only does sugar increase energy, it also produces glycogen. Glycogen is a storage location for carbohydrates.

Glucose is a sugar that the body needs for energy. The human body obtains energy by absorbing glucose, it reaches the cells through the body’s blood and stores it, and turns it into energy to supplement the body’s needs when needed. Therefore, glucose is not the main reason for obesity, on the contrary, it can also use your energy, thereby consuming its own calories.

So what is the real cause of obesity?

The answer is fat.

The intake of many kinds of food is to meet the needs of the human body. Once the food intake exceeds the needs, the excess calories will accumulate into fat.

The calorie intake required by the human body is determined by the individual’s physique, and everyone is different.

For example, bodybuilders who exercise a lot, look at the high-calorie food and a lot of carbohydrates they consume at each meal, and still maintain a good figure. Another example is people who don’t exercise every day, the amount of each meal is very small, and they still feel that they are gradually gaining weight. This is all caused by their own calorie consumption.

We all know the disadvantages of obesity. In order to make our body more healthy, exercise more and control diet reasonably. You know, a healthy body is the foundation of everything.
