Wednesday Wisom
Here's a "Wednesday Wisdom" for you,
High-fructose corn syrup, sometimes called corn sugar, has become a popular ingredient in sodas and fruit-flavored drinks. In fact, high-fructose corn syrup is the most common added sweetener in processed foods and beverages. Given how ubiquitous high-fructose corn syrup is, some people are concerned about possible adverse health effects. Some research studies have linked consumption of large amounts of any type of added sugar — not just high-fructose corn syrup — to such health problems as weight gain, dental cavities, poor nutrition, and increased triglyceride levels, which can boost your heart attack risk
It's important to consume any added sugar only in moderation. Consider these tips to cut back:
· Avoid sugary, non-diet sodas. Drink water or other unsweetened beverages instead.
- Choose breakfast cereals carefully. Although healthy breakfast cereals can contain added sugar to make them more appealing to children, skip the non-nutritious, sugary and frosted cereals.
· Eat fewer processed and packaged foods, such as sweetened grains like cookies and cakes and some microwaveable meals.
· Snack on vegetables, fruit, low-fat cheese, whole-grain crackers, and low-fat, low-calorie yogurt instead of candy, pastries and cookies.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!
