The Effects Of Sugar On The Male Health. by yungchop: 8:28am On Sep 18, 2014
ADDED SUGARS
The more sugar you eat, the higher your blood-
glucose level will be, which triggers the release of
the hormone insulin making your body store fat.
Eating a high quantity of sugar in one sitting
causes your body to remain in the fat
accumulation mode for longer periods. It’s not
always easy to detect foods that contain added
sugars. Obvious items such as confectionery,
cakes and deserts are loaded with refined sugar
and provide empty calories. These foods can be
reduced in an attempt to manage your health.
Being cognizant of other more seemingly
innocent foods such as pasta, rice and milk,
which sometimes contain considerable amounts
of sugar, will help you monitor your health.
HEART DISEASE
Large amounts of added sugars reduce high
density lipoprotein levels and raise triglyceride
levels, These two factors are fundamental to the
onset of heart disease. Excessive sugar
consumption can cause you to become
overweight, increasing your risk of cardiovascular
disease, which the American Heart Association
stated affect a greater number of men in
comparison to non-menopausal women.
PROSTATE CANCER
The American Cancer Society states that prostate
cancer is the second most common form of
cancer in the United States and the second
highest cause for mortality next to lung cancer.
Sugar is a major source of energy for cancerous
cells, and cancer thrives when excess sugar is
consumed. Minimal stress, regular exercise and a
healthy balanced diet containing fruits,
vegetables and fresh fish may help reduce your
risks of developing prostate and other cancers.
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
A common misconception about sugar is that it
causes type two diabetes. Although this is
incorrect, consuming foods loaded with sugar and
fats on a regular basis, coupled with little or no
exercise can lead to obesity, a leading cause of
diabetes type II. One of the symptoms of diabetes
in men is erectile dysfunction, which researchers
at the Brady Urological Institute at John Hopkins
suggested links to hyperglycemia. When sexual
stimulation occurs, the enzyme neuronal nitric
oxide synthase or nNOS releases. This activates
the release of nitric oxide, or NO, to nerve
endings. Penile smooth muscles relax temporarily
and blood flow increases rapidly for brief periods,
resulting in an erection. As blood vessels continue
to dilate and muscular tissue further relaxes,
blood flow intensifies and the activation of
endothelilal nitric oxide synthase, or eNOS,
occurs, appearing in penile blood vessels. This
sets off a continual release of NO to maintain the
erection. O-GIcNAc blood sugar in hyperglycemia
relates to erectile dysfunction, researchers
explained, as it interferes with the activation of
eNOS, hampering the production of NO to
interrupt the vascular erection process. Erectile
dysfunction can also manifest in response to
cancer treatments.
