Many people consume too much sugar without knowing it, due to hidden sugars in foods like cereal, yogurt, and sauces. On average, Americans eat over 17 teaspoons of added sugar daily—more than twice the recommended limit.
Too much sugar causes energy crashes, constant hunger, and irritability. Over time, it leads to insulin resistance, hormonal issues, belly fat, and skin problems like wrinkles and dullness. It also affects mental health, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, and brain fog.
In severe cases, it can damage nerves and signal prediabetes. But with early changes—like cutting added sugars, reading labels, staying active, and eating balanced meals—you can boost your energy, skin, mood, and overall health. Sugar is sneaky, but you can take back control.
