Sugar! What's the real scoop?

​Stop eating sugar, fat, carbs, meat, salt etc.  We are constantly being told what not to eat, or should I say the ingredients not to eat, with very vague information on what we should be eating.
 
The problem is that the message against sugar has been misunderstood and now many people are afraid to include adequate fruit in their diets, it’s a common conversation I have in the clinic.
 
So let's clear it up a little if we can!

• When we see cut out sugar, it really means processed sugar, added sugar.  This sugar is a nutritional dead food that can feed into all sorts of gut issues, inflammatory issues and various other health issues
• The body cannot cope with the level of added sugar in our diet, hence the rise in diabetes type II, obesity, cancers, inflammatory conditions, poor gut health.​
• Fruits, honey and other natural sugars all have an abundance of nutrients that our body needs for health.  The body burns off the sugar whilst breaking down and utilising the nutrients.
• We need natural sugars as part of our diet, they are a natural source of fuel and energy for our body.
• We need more natural foods, more foods that have not been altered, more foods that the body is equipped to absorb and digest for our highest good.  We need more natural colour in our diet and this includes fruit.

 
So the next time you see cut the sugar, remember this is talking about processed foods not fresh fruits and vegetables.
 
Ditch the products and double the produce!
