** Sugar: Not So Sweet
------------------------------------------------------------

Would you like to start eating healthier? For many people, eating healthy can be easier said than done. Sugar is often the biggest culprit. Every December, during the cookie-infused holiday season, I see an influx of patients with sugar-induced flare-ups. Unfortunately, many folks have sweet cravings that continue throughout the new year.

You know sugar causes weight gain. Did you know it can also lead to pain? That’s because sugar causes inflammation in the body. Inflammation stresses joints, which can trigger arthritis. Sugar can also cause muscle spasms and other chronic issues.

Now’s the time to start a new habit—a low-sugar habit. It might be challenging at first. But cutting sugar is an important step to a healthier you.

To kick your high-sugar habits to the curb:

Know that it’s not all about cookies. Sugar isn’t just in “sweets” like cookies and cake. There is lots of added sugar in processed foods—even foods you wouldn’t suspect—so read your labels and be mindful of ingredients.

Keep eating fruit. No one in the history of mankind developed heart disease or chronic pain from eating oranges and grapes. The carbs in a croissant are not the same as the carbs in bananas! Eating fruit is fine because you get nutrients that your body needs. Avoid fruit juice, however.

Eat real food. As someone who’s dealt with weight issues, I’ve learned that eating “real” food is the way to go. Eat fruits, vegetables, healthy grains, and lean proteins, and keep processed food to a minimum.

Still indulge your sweet tooth. Even when you eat clean, sometimes you crave something sweet. Try tricking your brain by eating a piece of fruit. However, if you just need ice cream, eat it. It can be good for your soul. Just reserve it for those rare, special occasions. The next day, go back to those veggies.

It’s time to let sugar go. Good riddance! When you feel better, you’ll see just how sweet it is.
