You might think that skipping those sweet cookies or candies and keeping them out of the reach of your kids means you\u2019ve successfully avoided sugar. You may also be under the impression that avoiding foods with sugar<\/a> makes your eating habits seem healthier. You\u2019re right, but just partially.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s easy to think that switching to alternative foods that may have less to no sugar are better for you and your family\u2019s healthy eating. However, you may not be aware that some of these foods actually contain sugar that isn\u2019t in as little a quantity as you imagined. Yes, you\u2019ll find sugar even in foods that are tagged \u201chealthy\u201d. Here are a few examples –<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples –<\/p>\n

Granola<\/h2>\n

People have always associated Granola as being a health food item and granola bars as a quick fix solution to boosting energy levels<\/a>. Essentially, it is considered a healthy food. That isn\u2019t exactly untrue and depends on the brand, in some cases. That being said, some of these instant energy bars can contain up to 26 grams of sugar, per serving. That\u2019s certainly not what the doctor ordered. The solution, go with protein-rich nuts like \u2013 Almonds, Peanuts, Pecans and sunflower seeds. These are great for the whole family and will ensure they always have enough energy to stay active.<\/p>\n

Fruit Juice<\/h2>\n

Fruits are healthy, as is, naturally, it makes sense for one to assume that the juice of these fruits is the same. And in most cases it is\u00a0unless you prefer off-the-shelf options. Don\u2019t be fooled by the \u201c100% Natural\u201d \u201cNo Sugar\u201d labelling on the packs, they\u2019re often quite inaccurate. The last thing you want is for your child to get into the habit of sipping on those Tetra-packed juices. A good old fashioned fruit with all its fibre and roughage is the best for their health and yours too. Even freshly squeezed orange juice, while crammed with vitamin C<\/a>, folate and Potassium, is high in sugar with and lacking in fibre. It’s better to go with the whole fruit and nothing but the fruit.<\/p>\n

Low-Fat Yoghurt<\/h2>\n

Many dieticians will suggest you try low-fat yoghurt for weight loss. While there\u2019s no doubt it’s considered to be low in calories, buying off-the-shelf may not be a great idea. Some brands include sugar which adds to the existing natural sugar (lactose) that\u2019s found in milk. Sometimes, one container of yoghurt can contain up to 21 grams of sugar.<\/p>\n

Cranberries<\/h2>\n

Another food item that\u2019s synonymous with weight-loss and nutrition is Dry-fruit and Cranberries are one such item. They make great snacks and additions to those weight-loss salads. However, these are not as sugar-free as some of its compatriots. A handful of cranberries consists of 26 grams of sugar. That\u2019s quite a bit. You might want to stick to nuts.<\/p>\n

It always pays to be knowledgeable of what you eat. The signs, names and labels can often be quite misleading. When it comes to your sugar intake for you and your household, keep these numbers in mind as the recommended daily requirement of sugar is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 36g or 9 teaspoons for men;<\/li>\n
  • 20g or 5 teaspoons for women; and<\/li>\n
  • 12g or 3 teaspoons\u00a0for children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It\u2019s perfectly fine to indulge in a little sugar treat every now and again, but it\u2019s vital to keep it balanced for your everyone at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
