Irritability
Sugar withdrawal may lead to mood swings, particularly if the person is also experiencing other withdrawal symptoms. Irritability and fatigue are common symptoms of sugar detox because of the body’s readjustment to the chemical imbalances in the brain. During sugar detox, hormone levels fluctuate. Also, a drop in blood sugar reduces the body’s maximal energy capacity. The person’s temper will flare up as a result of this decline. Moreover, mental health issues might be triggered or exacerbated, such as episodes of bipolar, which is associated with irritability. Furthermore, withdrawal symptoms brought on by the body’s reaction to the shift may lead to feelings of brain fog, nausea, and a drop in energy that can make one irritable.
On top of that, GABA or Gamma-aminobutyric acid predominates as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the neurological system. Anxiety, irritation, attention, sleep, seizures, and depression may all be avoided because of the way it controls brain activity. By boosting the activity of the GABA-T shunt in cells, glucose blocks the glutamine-driven synthesis and release of GABA. Low glucose levels in sugar detox can also reduce the GABA released in the brain.
