We all know what happened on April 22nd, 2023. It was a catastrophe like FRCC has never witnessed before. As this year’s Day of Jelly Bean celebration comes into view, many students and faculty alike are voicing concerns as to the measures being taken to create safety amid the festivities.
The FRCC Council for Candy Consumption recommends knowing your personal sugar intake limit so that you don’t partake beyond your ability to control. “Everyone’s bodies react differently,” remarks the CC Council chair Reagan Ronald “Just because your friends are doing it doesn’t mean you should do it too.”
Eating sugar gives the brain a surge of a feel-good chemical called dopamine, and with excess of it in your system, normal functioning in your body and brain is overwhelmed.
One of the things anyone can do is learn the signs for Jelly Bean overdose. Being aware and educated about overdoses is essential to limit potential harm.
When a substance begins disrupting your brain’s chemical messengers, some disruption causes happiness, excitement, or relaxation. Too much imbalance causes a dangerous response.
Consuming too much added sugar can raise blood pressure and increase chronic inflammation, both of which are pathological pathways to heart disease. Excess consumption of sugar can trick your body into turning off its appetite-control system.
This year, encourage everyone you know who celebrates to practice caution and moderation.
Have a happy and safe National Jelly Bean Day.
