Do You Know the Quantity of Sugar You Consume Per Day

Honestly, I have never track the amount of sugar I have consumed in a day. I consume a lot of sugar daily through foods, drinks and snacks. Fruits like; pears, mangoes, bananas, berries and oranges contain sugar and I eat them often but still I don't have any idea of the amount of sugar taken into my system per day. Apart from natural sugar consumption, I also eat a lot of foods that are processed with artificial sweeteners.

Do You Have a Family Member Who Has Diabetes Issue

I don't have any family members who is suffering from diabetes. That's one thing I am always grateful for; sound health. I have come across some friends who has diabetes and they sometimes feel uncomfortable but try to take care of themselves. Each time we go for check up, the result always read that we are free from diabetes as a family. For those friends that has diabetes, they are advised to reduce the intake of sugary foods and drinks.

Have You Had an Issue with Sugar Before

I have never had any problem with sugar in my entire life before. My sugar level has always been on a normal scale. Although, I am clueless about the amount of sugar I consumed daily but I don't eat sugar overdose. I always try to balance it up by taking part in activities that will balance the sugar level and also reduce/avoid sugary substance.

Generally, sugar plays a very good vital roles in our body which means that it's important to eat it, so I try to not to totally avoid it.

What are Your Thoughts About Sugar as The Worst Enemy

In as much as sugar is good for the body, taking excess is very bad to the healthy because it's leads to a lot of damages like; diabetes, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, unnecessary weight gain, heart disease, tooth decay and skin wrinkles/sagging. All these negative effects listed above directly explains that sugar is our enemy but not worst because it has positive effects too.

For the fact that sugar leads to different forms of illness, I see it as an enemy no matter how good it has contributed to the health.

I will invite my friends ( @eliany, @pandora2010 and @f2i5 ) to participate in the contest as well. Thank you!
