⚠️ Sugar & The American Diet
Americans actually have loads of sugars in their diets, even drinks that are marketed as “healthy” or “all natural”.
If you think you’re safe with drinks like juice, think again!
A glass of apple juice can contain a similar amount of sugar to glass of soda.
According to the USDA, sugar should make up no more than 10% of your daily calories.
For women, that is 10-15 tsp. per day.
For men, it’s 12.5-18.75 tsp.
Just one glass of that apple juice would put many people at (or just under) their entire daily limit.
Eliminating sugary beverages from our diets would be best, but reducing the number of sugary beverages you consume and substituting healthier options with less sugar is already a step in the right direction.
Lots of Sugar:
🤯Soda
🤯Energy drinks
🤯Chocolate milk
🤯Smoothies
🤯Fruit punch or juice
Better Choices:
✅️Water
✅️Unsweetened tea
✅️Milk
✅️Plain sparkling water
✅️Diluted juice
Knowing what to avoid is a good start:
Set some goals for your family to follow these tips.
Good habits begin at a young age, so help your kids make healthy decisions about what they choose to drink.
Set a positive example, and you will all have healthier bodies, smiles, Brian function and a healthier future.
🌼With the the understanding of the relationship between diet and health, acquire a profound shift in eating patterns and lifestyle transformations.
