So what’s a savvy consumer like you to do? It’s hard enough to fight an enemy you can see. It’s harder yet to combat an enemy that you can’t detect. But you can still do your part to lower your sugar consumption. And we’ll give you some simple tricks:
Start by eliminating all sugary drinks from your diet. Not only do sodas and powered drinks contain sugar, but so do those supposedly health sports drinks and even those fruit juices. Replace those sugar-laden drinks with water. Focus, instead, on drinking more water. Remember that health experts recommend you drink a minimum of 8 eight-ounce glasses of water daily. You can easily replace any of these with water. Bored with plain water? Treat yourself and put a slice of lemon in it. This adds to the flavor without the dangers of the sugar.
