Sugar is more than a fun food INGREDIENT; it's an essential one as well. Carbohydrates, including sugar, are the body’s preferred sources of fuel for brain power, muscle energy and most natural process that goes on in every functioning cell. DOCTOR Keri Marshall, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, says that one key to a healthy lifestyle is to eat all foods in moderation rather than excluding specific foods from your diet.
DR. KERI MARSHALL:
“The keys to a healthy lifestyle are as much common sense as they are scientific. You should strive to maintain a diet that includes a wide variety of foods that contain a range of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. Immerging science shows that when you avoid sugar and eat artificial sweeteners instead, it may leave you feeling less satisfied which can cause you to consume more calories, throwing your diet out of balance. With only 15 calories per teaspoon, sugar continues to be part of balanced, whole food diet and healthy lifestyle all over the world.”
