“Sweet, but Smart: Rethinking Sugar in a Fast-Paced World”Rebalancing health and Reducing Hidden Sugar Risks at “Dhamma in the Garden”

Have you ever noticed how, on a tiring day, we tend to reward ourselves with something sweet? From coffee and milk tea to quick meals, many everyday choices contain more hidden sugar than we realize.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle—filled with deadlines, long hours, and convenience-driven eating—sugar consumption is quietly increasing. Health experts warn that sugar is not only found in obvious treats, but also in familiar dishes and rocessed foods, which, when consumed regularly, may raise blood sugar levels and increase the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension.

At the same time, sedentary behavior and chronic stress further contribute to rising health risks by reducing energy expenditure and triggering frequent snacking.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 800 million people worldwide are living with diabetes—a number that continues to grow, reflecting modern lifestyle habits.

Today, taking care of your health is no longer about eliminating sweetness altogether, but about learning to rebalance—your diet, your movement, and your state of mind.

Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) invites everyone to reconnect with their well-being through “Dhamma in the Garden” (Year 3)—a peaceful outdoor experience designed to help you slow down, reflect, and care for your health more mindfully.

Join Dr. Nareelak Klinsukon, a specialist in diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism from Phyathai 2 Hospital, as she shares practical insights on how to enjoy sweetness mindfully—without overindulging, and in a way that fits real everyday life.

Because sometimes, the best way to care for your health is simply to pause… and listen to your body.
