Reduce Your Sweet Tooth

Everyone knows that as a nation our consumption of sugar is out of control. It’s not a secret that diets high in sugar are linked to a variety of negative health effects. Not to mention, no one is immune from the dangers of sugar and it’s sadly effect kids, adults, and our elderly population alike.

I came across an article today that said the best way to cut your ‘sweet tooth’ is by doing so gradually. I thought the article suggested a great idea which is to gradually reduce ‘sweets’ but replace them with fruit so your body is still tasting the sweet, but the fruit provides your body with much more vitamins and minerals. According to this article, using artificial sweeteners doesn’t reduce your sweet tooth by any means. And the final thing I found interesting was that exercise, aside from being healthy, also helps to reduce sugar cravings. So when you work out, it’s a double win for your health!
