Let’s talk about SUGAR🍬
While there can be a bit of confusion around Sugar, it’s important to know the difference between Refined Sugar and Natural Sugar
🍭 Refined Sugar: Refined Sugar is artificial, and was designed to be added to foods during manufacturing to make foods taste unnaturally good, and become addictive to your brain. Due to the artificial nature of the sugar, it breaks down rapidly resulting in a High Glycemic Index causing a Blood Sugar Spike, and then Sugar Crash. Refined Sugar, and the foods they are added to, are a high risk food for obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Food that may include refined sugars are: cakes, icecream, chocolate, juices, muffins, sauces
🍌 Natural Sugar: Natural Sugar is naturally occurring and is digested slower and helps you feel full for longer, keeping insulin and blood sugar levels steady. Foods that include natural sugar include: fresh fruit an vegetables, grains such as rice and oats, nuts and seeds, plant milk and yogurt.
