What happens when there is too much sugar in your body? Let’s break it down!
When sugar floods your system regularly, it doesn't just stay in your blood — it affects nearly every organ. Here's how:
Blood → High sugar = Insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome
Liver → Turns sugar into fat = Fatty Liver (NAFLD), Insulin Resistance
Muscles → Can’t store sugar = Fatigue, Weakness
Brain → Sugar overload = Brain Fog, Mood Swings, Depression, "Type 3 Diabetes" aka Alzheimer’s Disease
Eyes → Damaged vessels = Vision loss, Diabetic Retinopathy
Heart and Vessels → Inflammation = Atherosclerosis, Heart Disease, Stroke
Nerves → Damage = Neuropathy
Skin → Glycation = Wrinkles and slow healing, Acne
Hormones → Dysregulated = PCOS, Fertility issues, Irregular Cycles
Gut → Sugar feeds bad bugs = Bloating, Candida Overgrowth, Cravings
Sugar adds up — not just in calories, but in consequences. Balance your blood sugar, protect your body.
