Be smart.

Sugar and salt are now known as the two most dangerous items to consume. Whether it is obesity, depression or gangrene, these items seem to be the core reason. If you are planning to quit sugar, make sure you give up on refined and added sugar or consume them in moderate quantity. You can load up on natural sugars in the form of fruits and dairy products to ensure a healthy body. It is best to avoid refined sugar and added sugar. The most common sources of added sugars include soft drinks, cakes, pies, chocolate, fruit drinks and desserts.

Eating a high-sugar diet can have serious consequences for your mental and physical health. Even the healthiest people aren’t exempt from sugar’s negative side effects. Sugar’s addictive qualities make it difficult to avoid. Learning to spot added sugars can help you limit your intake. The sugar in plain dairy products is the natural lactose , which is nothing to fear. Unnecessarily avoiding dairy may increase the risk of osteoporosis if not replaced with adequate levels of calcium from other sources.

Sugar should be consumed in organic natural food items. Nature's sweetness comes with a host of antioxidants and powerful nutrients. Go for seasonal fruits like mangoes, cherries, strawberries, plums, apples and pomegranate. These naturally sweet fruits are anti-inflammatory and do not affect your blood sugar levels; thanks to the presence of fiber and water.

Eat plenty of plants, enjoy whole grains, beans and legumes. Fruit is your friend – not your enemy. Most people could probably eat a little less sugar, a little less often, but you don’t have to quit it for good to be healthy. Cutting down on the sugar slowly in smaller doses rather than at once so that your body doesn’t have to endure a sudden shock before you can reap the benefits of this positive change in lifestyle.
