Sugar can impact a person’s overall health in many different ways. Sugar may lead to weight gain, brain fog, headaches, inflammation, pancreas damage, and sugar may even suppress the body’s immune system! Sugar impacts the body negatively in hundreds of ways.
How can you start on a better path? Take a look at nutrition labels to see how many grams of sugar is in the product. The less sugar the better! The problem with some foods is that what you may think is super healthy may be filled with sugar, like yogurt for example. Yogurt can average around 15 grams of sugar in one serving! If you cannot live without yogurt try to switch to a plain version of the yogurt and add fruit. Another option would be to find a brand that is sweetened with stevia instead of sugar.
There are often better alternatives out there for foods that people enjoy. At Clean Life Family we can provide recommendations for healthy alternatives.
