Balancing the food pyramid with the abundance of sweets that lurk in many foods can be tricky. Natural sugars are not concerns which are found in fruits and milk, lifeclinic informs us. Added sugars should be limited, but how do we manage these?
A breakfast that includes hot cereal and coffee can provide necessary calories and energy without excess sugars. The addition of fresh bananas to sweeten the cereal or raisins is recommended by healthyliving and can eliminate the desire for refined sugar. Adding milk, semi-skimmed or skim is recommended since the natural sugars are not a concern. Foods that should be eaten sparingly because they provide calories but not much in the way of nutrition include salad dressings, oils, cream, butter, margarine, sugars, soft drinks, candies and sweet desserts.
Mayo clinic assures that a healthy breakfast refuels your body and replenishes your blood sugar (glucose), giving you the energy necessary to start a new day. For snacks, lunches, and dinner, remain mindful of added sugar in sweetened yogurt, soups, spaghetti sauces, applesauce and other foods by reading labels. The US Food and Drug Administration advises that the nutrition panel lists the amount of sugars in grams (4 grams is equivalent to 1 teaspoon) in a serving of the food. That includes sugars that are present naturally in the food as well as sugars added to the food during processing.
