Eating too much sugar can make your body feel tired and give you a sore tummy ache! While sweet treats like cookies and soda taste great, they don’t have the vitamins your body needs to grow. It is important to know why too much sugar is not good for you.
Sugar gives you a quick burst of energy, but then it makes you feel tired and cranky. It can also stick to your teeth and cause little holes called cavities. Eating too much sugar can make your tummy hurt and make it hard to focus in school.
It is perfectly okay to enjoy a sweet treat sometimes, as long as you eat healthy foods first! When you choose a juicy piece of fruit instead of candy, your body gets real, long-lasting energy. Try drinking water instead of soda and choosing fruit for dessert — your body will feel great!
