5 Ways to Reduce Sugar

 
 
In the age we live in, avoiding sugar completely can be an uphill task. This is attributed to the fact that there are convenient stores around every corner, confectionaries are affordable, and well, an extremely large number of foods that we eat contain added sugar. High amounts of sugar can cause serious medical conditions such as Diabetes, and Heart Disease. While it is arguably impossible to totally avoid sugar, reducing sugar levels is, in fact, possible. Flodins, creators of delicious, heart-healthy Omega-3 pork, shares 5 ways you can reduce the amounts of sugar that you consume.

1. Practice Yoga and/or Meditation
Glycogen (glucose storage) is used up when your adrenaline hormones fire up. This can be as a result of work, traffic, kids or that line at the store. Adrenaline reduces the amounts of blood sugar, and therefore you need restore parity and trick your body into believing the sugar levels have not been altered. A good way of doing this is by practicing yoga and meditation.

2. Reduce the Amounts of Caffeine You Consume
If you consume foods with high levels of caffeine, your body will become active, in other words, the adrenaline levels will be fired up. As mentioned earlier, this will reduce glucose levels in your body, resulting in cravings for sweet foods. A simple way of avoiding caffeine is switching that cup of coffee with a cup of herbal tea.

3. Eat Quality Chocolate
Chocolate may seem similar, but did you know that the way cocoa (main ingredient in making chocolate) is processed determines the quality of chocolate as well as the additives. Ensure that you go for chocolate with the least amount of additives and one made from cold-pressed cocoa beans.

Fact: Cold-pressed cocoa beans retain natural benefits such as zinc, copper, and manganese, which are required by your body to remain healthy.

4. Better Yourself
When we are sad, the first thing on our mind is food, and not just any kind of food, sweet food, chocolate or ice cream to be precise. The sense of adding sweetness in life gives us a sense of fulfillment. A simple way of bettering yourself is trying to be more positive in life. Go for a walk in the sun, talk to a friend or take up a new hobby.
