Sugar is hidden in many foods and drinks we consume every day. While small amounts are okay, excessive consumption can cause subtle health problems that many people ignore. Recognizing early warning signs can help you change your habits and protect your health.
Here are 8 common signs you’re eating too much sugar:
1. Constant fatigue and low energy levels
If you often feel exhausted, even after a good night’s sleep, sugar may be the culprit. Sugar quickly raises blood glucose levels, giving you a boost of energy—but it’s often followed by a crash that leaves you exhausted.
Tip: Swap processed snacks for fruit, nuts, or protein-rich foods to keep your energy up longer.
