Abstract

This article analyzes the negative health consequences of excessive carbohydrate intake in the daily diet, focusing on the pathophysiological mechanisms and preventive strategies. Overconsumption of simple and refined carbohydrates leads to metabolic disturbances such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and dental caries. Excess glucose intake triggers insulin resistance, fat accumulation, and hormonal imbalance, increasing the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases. The article emphasizes the importance of balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, dietary education, and early medical screening as key measures to prevent carbohydrate-related health disorders and improve overall metabolic health.
