During exercise, the body expends a significant amount of energy, and it is not advisable to eat a large meal beforehand. At this time, consuming some sweets in moderation can provide the body with the necessary energy required for exercise.
When Excessively Fatigued or Hungry
At this point, the body has lost a great deal of heat energy and is weak. Eating sweets can allow the sugar to be absorbed into the bloodstream faster than ordinary food, thus rapidly replenishing physical energy.
When Feeling Dizzy or Nauseous
At this time, drinking a high-sugar beverage can raise blood sugar levels and enhance the body's ability to fight illness.
During Diabetic Hypoglycemia
When symptoms of shock occur due to hypoglycemia from overly restricting sugar intake, drinking sugar water or other sweet beverages can help the patient through the crisis.
When Vomiting or Diarrheic
At this time, the patient's gastrointestinal function is disrupted, and there are symptoms of dehydration. Drinking some salt-sugar water can help restore gastrointestinal function.
However, eating sweets can be detrimental to the body at times. For instance, eating sweets after a large meal most easily leads to weight gain, and excessive sugar can stimulate insulin secretion, which can easily induce diabetes. Consuming sweets as a daily routine before bedtime or before meals can lead to dental problems, a decreased appetite, and weight gain.
