Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Are they telling you to eat more dates and honey because of their many benefits? It is known that they are considered healthy foods, but everything in excess may become harmful.
The “Live Healthy” account, which is the main platform for health awareness of the Saudi Ministry of Health, tweeted on Twitter that dates and honey are foods rich in sugars.
Hence, it is necessary to reduce them.
It is known that sugar leads to weight gain and chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and others.
Earlier, the Omani Ministry of Health stated, through its official account on the “Instagram” website, that there are some steps that can be taken to reduce sugar consumption.
What’s the highlight?
- Avoid juices and fruit drinks that contain added sugar
- Avoid soft drinks, energy and sports drinks
- It is recommended to reduce the amount of sugar while making homemade desserts by half
- It is advisable to gradually reduce the amount of sugar in tea and coffee
It is important to adhere to eating specific amounts of starches and sugars daily, which helps control sugar and prevent complications, such as diabetic foot, retinal detachment, and weakness or loss of vision.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health stated that the diabetic patient suffers from pancreatitis, and the lack or absence of insulin secretion, which is the hormone responsible for dealing with sugar glucose, which results from the breakdown of starches and sugars.
