🍭 Commercial sweets - a silent disruption of the gut, brain and mood.
You know it – a quick craving for sweets, a packet of cookies, a bar or “healthy” muesli...
Or a hot chocolate with your morning coffee?
Harmless at first glance, but a chemical storm is triggered inside the body.
⚗️ What happens? And why can’t you feel good 🙏
➡️ Blood sugar surge
White sugar, glucose-fructose syrup or corn starch immediately raise blood glucose levels.
The body reacts with a burst of insulin to lower it.
After a few dozen minutes, the crash occurs – fatigue, irritability, nervousness.
In children, it manifests itself as hyperactivity, screaming, emotional outbursts, crying.
➡️ Microbiome in shock
These sweets contain no fiber – only fast sugars, which become a breeding ground for yeast and pathogenic bacteria.
The right strains that make up a healthy gut (e.g. Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria) begin to decline and an imbalance arises – dysbiosis.
Result: flatulence, bloating, inflammation, eczema, histamine reaction.
➡️ Damage to the intestinal wall
Emulsifiers (E471, E433, carboxymethylcellulose) and preservatives disrupt the mucus lining of the intestine.
It functions as a protective barrier. When it weakens, toxins penetrate the blood – leaky gut is created.
The body perceives this as an attack – it reacts with inflammation.
➡️ Inflammatory chain reaction
Chronic inflammation in the intestine is transmitted to the entire body.
It affects the liver, hormonal system, thyroid gland and brain.
Some substances (e.g. aspartame, artificial colors) even cross the blood-brain barrier - and affect the nervous system.
➡️ Impact on the psyche and behavior
Blood sugar fluctuations = mood swings.
The brain loses a stable supply of glucose, which leads to anxiety, irritability and later exhaustion.
Children are "hyper" after sweets, but an hour later they are tearful and apathetic.
🧬 And what happens in the long term?👉exhausted adrenal glands (sweet = false energy),
👉overloaded liver (has to process all additives),
👉weakened immune system,
👉addiction to fast sugars,
👉hormonal imbalance.
The body lives in a cycle of fatigue, cravings and short-term relief.
And that's why sweets are so addictive.
🍎 How to get out of it?
You don't have to forbid yourself from sweets - just change their form.
Healthy alternatives:
🍒dates, dried mangoes, figs, raisins
🍒poppy seed or nut balls
🍒fruit puree with coconut
🍒oatmeal or wheat porridge with blueberries
These natural sweets provide fiber, minerals and slow carbohydrates that keep sugar stable and the nervous system calm.What is the lesson from this? We always have a choice in all areas of life, and it is up to us to decide which path we will take.I'd love to hear what one self-improvement habit has significantly impacted your results recently?
