Glucose is one of the main sources of energy for the entire body.
It is essential for the functioning of muscles and the brain, helps to cope with stress, supports normal brain function, energizes the body's cells, participates in metabolic processes, and generally has a positive effect on the state of health of the body.
It is found in food products (sweets, juices, fruits and berries, white bread, potatoes, etc.), and is easily absorbed by the body. Excess glucose is sent to the liver and stored there in the form of a complex compound - glycogen.
What is the threat of glucose?
As always, nutrients are beneficial when they enter the body in moderation.
The amount of glucose consumed by a person is balanced by the production of the hormone insulin.
Excessive intake of glucose in the body leads to the development of insulin resistance, obesity, and eventually to a threatening disease called diabetes.
Slow wound healing because a sweet environment increases the risks of bacterial and fungal infections.
Therefore, taking tests and regular visits to doctors are important conditions for maintaining health.
