Most people know that too much added sugar in your diet can contribute to weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Added sugars are often added to foods and drinks when they are processed or prepared. These unhealthy additions lead to lots of health issues.
How can you recognize them? Added sugars have many names, including cane juice, corn syrup, dextrose, and fructose. Table sugar, maple syrup, and honey are also considered added sugars.
What can you try instead? A few changes in your diet can make a huge difference. Create healthy habits with these tips for 30 days and they’ll become a habit:
- Water is always a great choice! Try water with lemon, limes, or cucumbers for a burst of healthy flavor.
- Avoid sodas and sugary drinks. Try natural fruit juice instead.
- Avoid adding high-sugar syrups and flavored syrups to coffee and try a low-fat splash of milk instead.
Once you make these changes they will become a habit. And you will look and feel healthier!
