We all know that sugar is not good for us. And if you don’t, well: SUGAR is NOT good for us. It is the responsible for one of the most common health disorders: Diabetes.
If we want to keep delighting on sweets and be healthy, here are some things you can do:
1. Take no more than the recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) which is no more than 5% of the daily calorie intake for an adult, or 6 tablespoons a day (less than what some soft drinks have) . For more information click here.
2. Take half of the sugar you normally have, maybe the taste won’t even change that much.
3. Use natural sweeteners such as:
- Stevia
- Maple Syrup
- Honey
- Date Sugar
- Coconut Sugar
- Molasses
