Loading ...American Indians didn’t have a lot of the health problems they do now after adopting processed foods in their diets from diabetes to heart attacks. Too much weight on the midline isn’t good for anyone nor the arteries they compress that deliver oxygen to vital organs like the heart. Sugar can bring your blood sugar up and then wear out your pancreas where in the Islets of Langerhans delivers the insulin to create homeostasis and get rid of it that can cause wear and tear and at time cause low blood sugar many nurses can get running and not eating right so can grab more sugar. These days so much processed food turn into sugar or have sugar in it. That’s why drinks substituting sugar like juice with something like wheat grass instead can be a real nutritional pick up. It’s good to replace too much sugar from the diet but also processed foods like white flour and MSG laden foods. Hard for nurses on the run unless pre made but to be conscious of what is in moderation. A lot of people don’t even realize how many calories and sugars they get from this when passing by the kitchen or fast food driving around. They have a hard time not deviating from certain food sources and tend to add to it and a big part of the problem is their blood sugar being driven up then crashes then needs more to counter act the crash which can be life threatening. A vicious circle.
