There are hundreds of ways to reduce weight, one of which is to control the intake of sugar to reduce calories, including staple foods such as rice and bread, as well as root-like foods such as fruits, sweets, potatoes, etc., similar to the popular "ketogenic diet". A new Japanese study found that limiting sugar intake over a long period of time may accelerate aging and even affect life.

Associate Professor of Agricultural Research Department of Tohoku University Graduate School of Japan and his research team published a study at the Japan Nutrition and Food Association on the 19th. Duji pointed out that the light dietary method that restricts sugar intake is very popular, but if it is not carried out under the guidance of experts, it will easily cause irreparable harm to the body.

Associate Professor Du Zhuyi divided the white mice into three groups, and put them in three diet combinations, namely, the feed that meets the nutritional standard ratio, the feed that has a high fat content, and the low-sugar food that has a low carbohydrate content but a high protein content. Among them, the calorie content of low-sugar diet is only 20% of the overall, which is equivalent to the extreme state of not eating staple foods for three meals a day.

The results of the experiment showed that mice who ate low sugar for a long time had a life of 8 to 9 weeks shorter than standard diets, and were shorter than mice who ate high-fat diets. In addition, the memory of mice who ate low-sugar diets was half as low-sugar diets than mice who ate standard diets.

Duzhu pointed out that in mice that eat low-sugar diets for a long time, the intravenous bacteria of the brain increased significantly, while the intravenous bacteria and lactic acid bacteria decreased significantly, which means that extreme control of sugar intake will cause bacteria imbalance in the kidneys.

Duzhu said that controlling sugar intake is beneficial to prevent diabetes, but if you want to use this method to reduce weight, you must follow expert guidance. There is no short-term problem, but long-term control will cause irreparable severe damage to the human body.
