Yes, You Can Eat Sugar! 5 Nutritionist Hacks To Make It Healthier
Health experts have given us five basic rules to follow if you want to eat sugar smartly.
We all know that too much sugar can cause a plethora of problems for our bodies. But is it at all possible to consume the sweet stuff in a healthy way? Health experts have given us five basic rules to follow if you want to eat sugar smartly:
1. Pair sugars with fiber
For example, have an orange and a few almonds, and not just an orange, because nuts have more fiber than the orange alone. This will help slow absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
2. Choose produce for your sugar source
Produce is packed with fiber and brings more of a nutritional bang as well. Fruits and vegetables have sugar in them, but also offer vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

3. Don’t count dairy out
Lactose is a simple sugar found in dairy, and has a minimal effect on blood sugar. That’s why you should opt for string cheese over a cheese Danish, as added sugars from the refined grains can have a greater effect on blood sugar. A bonus: Cheese also has protein to keep you full and satisfied.
4. Eat, don’t drink, your sugar
Never, ever drink your sugar. Not only are you imbibing extra, empty calories, but you could be putting yourself at risk for health disasters down the road.
5. If you must sweeten, sweeten with honey
While honey is mostly sugar, you are also getting minerals and antibacterial benefits as well as antioxidants.
