Hello Hive Learners Community! Welcome to my blog. Everything in excess can be considered toxic to human health.** Either it is sweet or butter, when we take it in excess, it behaves similarly to poison. We should hence take care of what we are taking or drinking. Everything that we ingest has a specific action in our body. Hence, we should go for regular biochemical profile tests. Our body works in a narrow process, Homeostasis, to keep the balance of everything. God has gifted us this special system that regulates itself automatically. Still, we need care in the diet plan to help this system.
If I recall my scientific knowledge, then 1st thing I shall mention is Blood Sugar Test. This is the most common test that doctors recommend to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Sugar (Glucose) is maintained in our body by Hormones. These hormones are released by Pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that decreases blood glucose levels, while Glycogen is a hormone that increases Glucose levels in our body.
When we take excessive sugar either in the form of sweets or in the form of other sugar sources. The glucose level increases in our blood. The pancreas releases insulin to decrease its amount and starts its storage in the liver in the form of Glycogen. This is the glucose that is used later when our body becomes deficient in sugar.
Sometimes we start taking too much sugar, which becomes a load for the body. Insulin alone is not enough in this case. Although our body did its best to utilise sugar but failed. This excessive sugar in the blood affects us, and we named it Diabetes. A Diabetic Patient faces high blood due to two reasons. Either Insulin release is blocked, or insulin is ineffective in reducing the amount of glucose in the blood. In both cases, a diabetic patient faces sugar complications with body sickness.
Hence we should do our best to balance our diet. We should avoid dishes or sweets that have too much sugar. We should go for the sugar regulation test. If there is a slight fluctuation in sugar in the blood, then we should minimise it by missing some meals or at least we should take sugar-free meals.
Sugar regulation in drinks and diets is essential. Some people have sugar issues, and it can prove deadly if they take sugar-containing either diet or drinks. Governments should make policies and authorities that will make sure balance of sugar in everything. A few months back, there was a slightly high sugar level in Dextrose bottles that were administered to patients. After thirty minutes of dextrose therapy, many patients died. When the government started the investigation, it became clearer that it was a medicine company found to be guilty. This company does not maintain a balanced glucose ratio in Dextrose bottles, and the level of sugar was extremely high. This slight mistake resulted in many casualties. After the loss of many lives, although government bodies have taken the responsibility, we should ensure glucose balance in everything that is going to be part of our bodies. I personally don't like a diet that has sugar. I like sugar-free diets and drinks. It didn't mean I'm diabetic but I'm saving my body from sugar complications in the future.
