Enrichment Sweets Ramadan like Konafa, Qatayef, and Basbousa are essential foods on the table during the holy month, but excessive eating may cause many health problems.
The damage to the multiplication of sweets in Ramadan
1. High blood sugar
Ramadan sweets contain large amounts of sugar, which leads to a sudden rise in blood sugar, especially for diabetics, and may cause fatigue and lethargy shortly after eating them.
2. Weight gain and obesity
Sweets contain high levels of calories and saturated fats, which leads to weight gain rapidly, especially with the lack of physical activity after eating it.
3. Digestive disorders
Excessive intake of sweets leads to digestive problems such as bloating, gases, and indigestion, especially when eating them immediately after breakfast.
4. Increased risk of heart disease
Ramadan sweets contain large amounts of unhealthy fats, which lead to high levels of harmful cholesterol in the blood, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
5. Energy level disorder
Eating sweets in abundance causes a rapid rise in energy followed by a sharp decrease, which leads to a feeling of lethargy and fatigue, which affects daily activity.
6. Increase the risk of tooth decay
Sugars in sweets nourish harmful bacteria in the mouth, which leads to tooth decay and gum infections if the oral hygiene is not taken care of after eating.
7. A negative effect on the health of the liver and pancreas
Eating large amounts of sugars put additional pressure on the liver and pancreas, which may increase the risk of problems such as fatty liver and insulin resistance.
