The study published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, to which it refers AgroWeb.org, shows that keeping sugar levels under control is linked to the prevention of mental illness.

Experts report that people diagnosed with prediabetes who have high blood sugar levels are 54 percent more likely to develop mental illness compared to people with normal blood sugar levels.

In fact, prediabetes is seen as the most dangerous period to develop this disease because of the various reactions that occur in the brain.

Doctors say that high sugar levels, even if they are not chronic, cause inflammation. Over time, this inflammation of the brain, if chronic, affects faster aging by affecting diseases that affect the mind.
