Sugar isn’t going to kill you. That’s right. Sugar alone isn’t going to cause harm to your health. The key to a balanced diet isn’t in needing to ban sugar. Rather, its about enjoying it in your diet in a mindful way. Truthfully, if we ate excess sugar all of the time, we wouldn’t feel so great. But if we don’t include that sweet treat, sugar in our coffee, or sugar sprinkle over fruit when we desire it, we would be pretty miserable too. Understanding how sugar fits into your overall nourishment, along with macro and micro nutrient diversity, can create a well balanced diet without the need of eliminating it. Take it from a dietitian that has a cookie or piece of chocolate every single day 😉 #wellness #health #nutrition #dietitian #sugar #diet

Did you know that antioxidants play a little-known but important role in protecting your health? By scavenging free radicals from your body’s cells and decreasing oxidative stress, antioxidants play a role in reducing your risk of illnesses including hypertension, arthritis, and heart disease. Your body can produce its own antioxidants, but it’s best to get a helping hand from your diet. Here’s a few tips on increasing your intake! • Always aim to enjoy 5 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit per day.  • Brightly coloured fruits and vegetables are typically higher in antioxidants, so choose the colourful options! • Use high quality oils when cooking, such as olive, sunflower, or peanut oil.  • Including a green or black tea with breakfast is a great way to get an antioxidant fix and start your day at the same time.

How much sugar is too much? 🥤 We often go for canned fruit juices, lassi, or even packaged coconut water, assuming they're healthy options. Think again! While our bodies can process sugar into energy, there's a limit. Excess sugar gets converted into glycogen, and unused glycogen turns into fat, contributing to various health issues. I'm not suggesting you eliminate your favorite treats entirely. The key is moderation. Remember, no food is inherently good or bad; it's all about portion size or quantity. When consuming processed or packaged foods, check the sugar content and follow this rule of thumb: Sugar should account for no more than 10% of your total daily calories. For example, if you consume 2000 calories daily, limit sugar to about 23 grams. By understanding the sugar content in packaged foods and using this guideline, you can enjoy your favorite treats without overindulging. Note: This general rule may vary for individuals, especially those with metabolic conditions. #health #nutrition #healthylifestyle #wellness

Eating sugar and a high carbohydrate diet will turn to fat in the body. A better marker than cholesterol is how high your triglycerides are. The amount of fat your body carries is directly proportional to the amount of sugars/carbs you take in, stress, and the amount of toxins your body is exposed to.

Happy Wellness Wednesday! Do you know what happens when you exercise but don’t eat well? Exercise cannot completely reverse the effects of a bad diet. Grace Derocha, a Registered Dietitian, mentioned that processed foods such as soda and candy have little to no nutrients. With a lack of vitamins, protein, and fiber to fill you up, people who don’t have a nutritious diet are usually still hungry, moody, and won’t have the same motivation or drive to exercise. She recommends thinking of food as more than just calories but as the kind of energy that provides a healthier fuel to yourself. https://lnkd.in/eDNAFkk6 #exercise #food #nutrition #baddiet #nutrients #fuel #calories #commfit #commfitstrong
