Can glucose alone sustain a person's life?

Glucose alone can't sustain human life, because if one wants to sustain life, one must supplement energy, fat, vitamins, sodium ions and so on. Many friends sometimes have their brains wide open and think of some wonderful questions. For example, when the earthquake happens, I just hide in a corner, and then there is only glucose around. Can I eat glucose every day and wait for rescuers to save me? In fact, this is impossible. Glucose can really replenish our body's energy quickly, but at the same time, our body also needs to take in other things to maintain the normal operation of various systems in the body. Next, I will explain it to you.

Glucose alone cannot sustain a person's life. We can try to imagine that if an earthquake comes and we hide in a corner with only glucose around us, we will replenish energy every day, but the water in our body is increasing and will be emitted through breathing and urination. As long as our water loss reaches 6% of our body in a few days, we will go into shock and eventually die. Many friends will think, what if there is a water pipe next to us? Then we can eat glucose and drink water every day. In that case, can we live longer? Actually, you can't, because besides energy, you need to supplement potassium ions. When we take medicine, potassium ions in the body will be excreted with urine, reducing the osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid in the body, and then blood cells will hemolyze, eventually leading to shock death.

You can't live by drinking glucose alone. If you want to survive for a long time, you must supplement many essential elements of the human body. If a person wants to live a normal life, he must supplement a series of things that can promote physical development, such as fat, protein and vitamins. Doesn't mean he can live on glucose alone.
