Sugar Addiction and Children’s Health / 설탕 중독과 아이들의 건강

 

Food has a powerful impact on our body and mind. Eating good food and cultivating a healthy diet is especially crucial for children. 

 

The term "sugar addiction" has recently gained a lot of attention.When we are tired of feeling down, eating sweets can bring a sense of recovery from fatigue or a bad mood.But people who have developed an addiction to sugar from overconsumption continue to eat sweets incessantly. Often, they don't even realize they're doing it.When they are low on sugar, they quickly become irritable and sensitive, akin to withdrawal symptoms.Chronic excessive sugar consumption can also lead to chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol.

 

I fully understand why adults give children their favorite snacks and candies. But it's important to remember that going overboared with such snacks can have adverse effects on children's dental health, tastes, cognition, and emotions.
