Why not drink water when you eat sweets? Drinking water while eating sweets can raise blood sugar levels to a very high degree.

The rise in blood sugar is higher when water is consumed, even higher than when you eat more sweets at the same time without drinking anything.

This conclusion was drawn by some scientists and researchers in South America who studied that water helps the body absorb more glucose from food.

The results of the study are very significant for people who cannot do without sweets. And one of the most widespread habits is drinking water to eliminate excess sugar.

But why do sweets make you thirsty?

Glucose contained in sugar is responsible.

This substance found in every dessert is able to slow down the time taken by the stomach to empty.

As a result, liquids do not reach the intestines in time, where they can be absorbed. So the intestines signal thirst.

But even if you drink water, the thirst is not quenched. You will feel thirsty until your stomach has finished emptying. That is, until your body has used all the glucose from the eaten dessert.

For this new study, scientists analyzed blood sugar levels in a group of 35 people who ate a dessert and drank water before, during or after eating, or did not drink at all.

People who consumed water along with the dessert showed the highest spike in blood glucose levels.

Their levels were almost twice as high as in the other groups mentioned.

High blood sugar levels are a cause for concern because the body can become desensitized and lose the ability to properly regulate blood levels.

All this can lead to diabetes. This is why scientists suggest drinking water before or after meals.  

In general, people should avoid drinking at the same time as sweets, in order to reduce the impact of sugar consumption. An important tip especially for those suffering from diabetes./ AgroWeb.org
