Sugar, while necessary for our bodies, may rapidly become our adversary if we ingest too much of it. This is due to the fact that our bodies only require 25 grams of sugar per day. Catherine Lacrosnière, a nutritionist and doctor, was invited to Bienfait pour Vous and gave great detoxification advice.
DESCRIPTION
Is it a friend or a foe? Sugar, when consumed in big quantities, can be hazardous to our health (and for our weight). Only 25 grams of sugar per day would be optimal. A mission that has become nearly difficult due to its pervasive presence in our food. Catherine Lacrosnière, nutritionist and doctor, was invited to Europe 1 and gave important ideas on how to control our consumption without additives
Choose either black or wholemeal bread.
When discussing sugar, the glycemic index, or sweetening power of the food, must be taken into consideration. When the bread is white, for example, it has a very high glycemic index, making it one of the slow sugars. Blood sugar levels rise dramatically after eating a regular baguette. As a result, choosing black bread, rye bread, or wholemeal bread, which has a lower glycemic index, is a better option.
Rapadura can be used in place of white sugar.
Rapadura is an unprocessed sugar that, unlike commercial sugar, preserves the nutrients found in sugar cane. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium are all present. Rapadura is made from sifting and air-dried cane juice. It's a type of sugar that's native to Brazil. It has a deep amber hue, a slightly wet texture, and a taste of caramelized licorice.
Consume alcohol in moderation.
Alcohol is not only bad for your health, but it's also a calorie bomb! It's chock-full of sugar for good reason. Flee the aperitif in front of the cocktails: the sugar in the soda or fruit juice is added to the alcohol. Water or, if you really want to go all out, champagne, which is far less sugary than other alcoholic beverages.
Preferably, use handmade products.
Sugars are found in frozen pizzas and other commercial foods (even if they are salty), and they even get into soups! As a result, our sugar consumption is breaking records at the end of the day. There's nothing like homemade cuisine to avert disaster because we know exactly what we're putting on our plates.
Make her yogurts with cinnamon.
If you used to assume that putting honey in plain yogurt was good for your health, think again! Honey has nearly the same calorie content as white sugar but has a lower glycemic index. As a result, we substitute cinnamon. Studies have shown that this soothing spice is also anti-diabetic. It helps to maintain blood sugar balance and lowers the effects of certain foods on bl
