Reducing energy loss in the afternoon
Many people tend to look for sweets when they feel lethargic in the afternoon. However, energy from sugar only helps you stay alert temporarily, then it can easily cause fatigue and loss of concentration. Limiting sugar consumption after lunch is said to help maintain stable energy levels and improve work performance throughout the day.
Better sleep quality
Consuming sugar in the afternoon or evening can disrupt blood sugar levels, causing the brain to be too alert and have difficulty sleeping. Limiting sweets after lunch helps you fall asleep more easily and wake up more alert. Reducing sugar intake also helps improve both sleep quality and duration.
Improve skin and digestion
Cutting down on sugar, especially in the evening, can help reduce inflammation in the body - a factor that contributes to skin and digestive problems. This helps brighten the skin and reduce acne, while the feeling of bloating after meals is also significantly reduced.
Improve concentration and mood
Avoiding sweets, cookies and sugary drinks after lunch for 2 weeks can significantly improve concentration and stabilize emotions. When blood sugar levels remain balanced, the body and brain work more effectively, helping you feel alert, calm and alert.
