How Much Sugar Can You Eat?

Let's find out how much sugar can be consumed without harming health and figure.

Recently, nutritionists and wellness influencers have declared a real war on sugar . Indeed, added sugar provides the body with calories , but has minimal nutritional value. In the long run, this can affect metabolism, lead to excess weight and other diseases. Most people abuse sweets, while others try to control this addiction. Let's find out how much sugar can be consumed without harming health and figure.

 

 

Choose the right sugar

It is important to understand the difference between added sugar and natural sugar. It is best to make a choice in favor of natural sweet products: fruits, honey, syrups. For example, dates are almost as sweet as chocolates, but they also contain a lot of trace elements and fiber. It is better to abandon white sugar altogether, replace it with Jerusalem artichoke or agave syrup. Products with added sugar should also be limited.

 

Know the measure

On average, a person eats 19 teaspoons of sugar per day , which is approximately 300 extra calories , which can be equated to a hearty and balanced dinner. Unfortunately, abuse of products containing sugar is a very common phenomenon. Part of that is why it's so hard to get the situation under control, because everyone around is just eating desserts, fruit yogurts, cereal, drinking sugary sodas, etc.
