Sweet cravings are an eating habit. However, there may be other reasons for the desire to constantly eat sweets.
Why do you want to eat sweets
Most often, cravings for sweets are caused by the production of dopamine, which forms habits.
When a person eats sweets, insulin levels increase, which releases dopamine and makes one feel happy and good.
Therefore, the brain builds the logic that when we eat sweets, we feel better.
However, cravings for sweets can be caused by diseases or inflammation of the intestines and other disorders in the body.
The fact is that pathogenic intestinal bacteria love to feed on sugar.
Another reason for loving sweets is an unbalanced diet.
How to break the habit of eating sweets
If it is a habit, it is important to form new behavior. Try replacing sweets with another food or activity to feel good.
For example, it could be unsweetened but tasty food, fruits, vegetables, cheese, nuts, dried fruits or berries.
You can also brew tea, make a smoothie or other drink.
If it's about your health, it's important to get it in order.
