Posted on January 30, 2010January 26, 2010 by News Health

Most people like sweets and consume a lot of them. It’s natural but we should not overeat with sweets but should limit their consumption to the necessary minimum. Refined sugar is a bad carb which causes problems with the blood sugar level. It also uses the resources stored in the body to process the sugar. Moreover, sugar has many different negative effects on the health: hypoglycemia, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, headaches, etc.
We can substitute sweets with natural sources of sugar like fruits. Try to reduce the sugar in your favorite desserts with about one-third. Make sure you eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, grains and beans which are natural sources of sugar. Strawberries, apples, sweet potatoes are also very appropriate.
Sugar drinks should also be reduces and avoided as much as possible because they contain not only sugar, but many calories and chemical that you don’t really need. For example, one soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar. One should not believe that a sugar-free drink is a healthy one. There are many researches which prove that artificial sugar substitutes used in the products of soft drinks can interfere with the natural regulation system of the body. You should try drinking water with a bit of lemon juice in it instead of soft drinks.
