WARNING: Stop Drinking Garri With Sugar If You Don't Want Any Of These 5 Things To Happen To You
LoveDoctorApr 3, 2021
Cassava flakes, popularly known as Garri by Nigerians, has over the years been the most common and available food in Nigeria. It's a food eaten by both the rich and the poor, as it is said to have been saving lives for ages. Garri could be prepared with hot water and taken with a soup, but it is more commonly prepared with cold water and drunk with any of the following; sugar, kulikuli, groundnut, coconut, roasted meat or fish, biscuit, suya, among others.
Due to it's commonness and availability, most people prefer to drink Garri occasionally, especially students who every now and then are seen drinking Garri. Most of these people who drink Garri always drink it with sugar, which is not supposed to be so, because drinking Garri with sugar regularly has many side effects of which I'm sure most people who drink Garri occasionally are not aware of. You should stop drinking Garri with sugar if you don't want any of the 5 things I listed below to happen to you. Please read on.
1) Unnecessary weight gain: You probably dislike people who are obese, and probably abhor the thought of getting fat, but you don't know that regularly drinking Garri with sugar makes you gain unnecessary weight. This happens because the body constantly has high levels of blood sugars (end product of carbohydrates). Stop regularly intake of Garri and sugar if you don't want to gain unnecessary weight.
2) Poor metabolic health: It's true that carbohydrates are the main/primary source of energy to the human body, however, excessive intake of carbohydrates could result to poor metabolism among other things. Continuous intake of Garri and sugar leads to excessive intake of carbohydrates, thereby causing poor metabolic health.
3) Increased risk of heart disease: Heart disease is another side effect of excessive carbohydrates in the body, therefore avoid sugar and Garri if you wish to live long.
4) Diabetes: Diabetes is a condition where the body is unable to produce insulin from the pancreas. Lack of insulin results to excessive glucose in the blood which is abnormal, and what causes this inability to produce insulin is excess starch/carbohydrates. Avoid it.
5) Addiction: It is said that too much of everything is not good. If this is true, then it's true that continuous intake of Garri and sugar is not good, and so you should stop it. The continuous intake could also lead to addiction, which makes it difficult you to give up the habit.
The above 5 things I mentioned are reasons why you should stop drinking Garri with sugar. If you must drink Garri with sugar, them make sure you don't drink it regularly. Please leave a comment below, and follow me for more updates.

4 Reasons Why You Should Stop Eating Groundnut, Please Don't Ignore!
When last have you tasted groundnuts?
I believe they taste very pleasant, very sweet. When fried or boiled, you can still enjoy many items, including bananas, garri and it can also be turned into other finished goods. That' s the place from which comes all the ' Groundnut oil. ' That' s another day' s topic, however. The cheap existence of Groundnut is a striking feature, so many Nigerian homes can hardly be visited and no groundnut bottles found. So what you eat in this day and age is extremely important to question. The fact that our fathers had this kind of meal did not mean that it worked for you. It' s vital to remember that not everything good is safe.
Despite this respect, certain unmistakable details show how dangerous foodstuffs are. Please read attentively and take the appropriate precautions.
1. Ever heard of Aflatoxin?
Aflatoxins are now found in nuts and cereals which retain humidity, particularly during storage. Such contaminants are very popular in soil noodles because they have been processed until they are delivered like any agricultural product to the market. The groundnut kernel, or " cover, " as some people might term it, appears to retain warmth. Aflatoxin is a leading cause of cancer and can cause liver damage, more specifically.
2. Dangerous Calories:
Knowing the benefits of eating healthy, I can tell you with absolute confidence that groundnut is a high- calorie snack so you should avoid it if you' re afraid of becoming obese. Obesity can lead to heart disease, sleeping apnea, stroke, and other underlying conditions. Instead, I have the groundnut to look at.
3. Groundnut can cause allergy:
When you see how poorly babies, and even some adults, are reacting to the intake of Groundnut, you ' re going to hate the nut. Those allergies are more common in children. You must be careful about what you are feeding them to prevent such an accident because allergies can become dangerous if they are not easily identified and provided the appropriate medical attention.
4. High Blood Pressure:
It is unhealthy to eat the groundnut, due to the presence of too much cholesterol in the groundnut. It is better to leave groundnuts, as opposed to consuming them in their unprocessed form, for cooking oil production. This is a message indeed, to those who love their heart.
I hope you have learned one or two things from that piece, thank you for reading this little one. Don' t forget to share with your loved ones
