Sugar and Oral Health

Sugar is a major contributor to tooth decay. When consumed, it interacts with bacteria in the mouth to form acids that attack tooth enamel. Decreasing sugar consumption and keeping up with daily oral hygiene can significantly reduce the risk of cavities.

"The Role of Fructose in a Balanced Diet"

Fructose, a simple sugar found naturally in fruits, honey, and root vegetables, has become a focal point in discussions about nutrition and health due to its prevalence in the modern diet, particularly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

While fructose provides a natural sweetness to many healthy foods, excessive consumption—especially through sugary beverages and processed foods—has been linked to various health issues, including obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver disease. Unlike glucose, which is metabolized by nearly every cell in the body, fructose is primarily processed by the liver, where excessive amounts can lead to the production of triglycerides and contribute to metabolic disorders. Despite these concerns, fructose consumed in moderate amounts through whole fruits offers numerous health benefits, such as essential vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, which aid in digestion and disease prevention. Understanding the sources and effects of fructose is crucial for making informed dietary choices and achieving a balanced diet. As the debate continues, it's clear that while fructose in its natural form can be part of a healthy diet, moderation and awareness of added sugars are key to maintaining optimal health. #Fructose #Nutrition #HealthyEating #DietTips #Metabolism #NaturalSugars #ProcessedFoods #HealthAwareness #BalancedDiet #SugarIntake #LiverHealth #FruitBenefits #DietAndNutrition #WeightManagement #HealthyChoices #FoodFacts #HealthyLifestyle #DietaryGuidelines #Wellness #EatSmart

The World Health Organization sugar intake recommendation is 5% of your daily calorie intake. For an adult it’s about 6 teaspoons / 25 grams of sugar per day. So don’t snack on that sweetass granola too much🙏 #granola #granolarecipe #healthyeating #who #sugar #sugarintake #diet #sugar #sweets #sweet #healthymeals #sweetass #homecooking #breakfastideas #breakfastbowl #breakfast

Reduce your sugar intake. That does not include fruit as their benefits far outweigh their negatives IF you eat the whole fruit, not just the juice! #sugar #sugarfree #sugarsugar #sugarrush #sugarhigh #sugarintake #lesssugar #eatlesssugar #reducesugar #healthierchoices #healthyfood #healthymindset #sweettooth #naturalsweetener #refinedsugarfree #refinedsugar #healthysweets #healthysweettooth #healthybalanceddiet #healthychanges #betterfood #betterforyou https://www.instagram.com/p/B-uGU9OJbbv/?igshid=1uswkp8kvm8t8

Hello fasting, bye sugar!

Hello! Welcome to my blog! Today, we’re going to talk about the crazy addiction we have when it comes to ADDED SUGAR. I would like to talk about decreasing our sugar intake and about getting started with Intermittent Fasting. Take a seat and a sip of H2o and let’s get into good health together!

Like you, I am stuck in this quarantine. One day, I started to do my homework assignments to help the time pass. I get my laptop, my agenda, and I started taking notes. I started to get hungry so I went to the fridge to grab a lemonade and I got a few cookies from the pantry. As I sipped my cold lemonade I realized how happy I was. As I bit into my chocolate chip cookies I realized my body started to feel excited but then it went back into a slum after I was finished having a snack. That’s when I realized that in this quarantine there are probably others who are struggling with their eating patterns. I realized that this small nudge of sugar was not as small as I thought… I was not only snacking in the morning, but I also was late at night. I knew that this was unhealthy and I knew I wanted to make a change for myself.

I introduced myself to INTERMITTENT FASTING and honestly it was the best gift I could give myself! According to Harvard Health, sugar is in almost everything we eat. It is also in fruits and vegetables and offers energy to our hard working cells. Americans everywhere, including myself, eat way too much sugar which puts us at risk for diabetes and heart disease. Intermittent fasting has helped me decrease my sugar intake. It helped me watch my caloric intake and had me feeling better both mentally and physically. With all of us struggling to maintain our health during quarantine, I wanted to share the top 5 benefits of intermittent fasting. I want to invite you guys to try intermittent fasting so that you too can feel your best while struggling to stay at home.

According to Healthline, intermittent fasting or IF has been around for centuries. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors would hunt for meals and go short and long periods without eating. IF allowed them to be at peak health and thus they survived through history for years and years. IF means to “cycle between periods of eating and fasting.” It can vary from person to person and certain cycles may hold different results for  each person. According to Healthline, one of the greatest benefits of IF is that it promotes blood sugar control and decreases our risk for diabetes. IF helps to decrease our blood sugar levels and allows our cells to properly rest and process energy more appropriately. A second health benefit is that IF can help reduce inflammation. Because the goal of fasting is to eat less and decrease your caloric intake, that means giving your stomach and digestive system a rest. As a result, it was found that those who fasted for some periods of time had less inflammation. A third health benefit of IF is that it can help enhance heart health by improving cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels. Those who did IF showed reduced levels of bad cholesterol by 25%. IF was also proven to lower the risk of diabetes AND coronary heart disease. This 4th health benefit deserves some critique. Healtlhine mentions that in a study of mice for a period of 11 months, the mice who did IF had better brain function and brain structure. While that finding is positive, it was not proven from a sample of humans. Although IF is said to help with brain function and structure I believe more proof needs to be given in order for it to be an actual proven health benefit. A fifth health benefit was that IF promoted increased weight loss and that it boosts the metabolism. I find this to be the most satisfying and most true health benefit of it all.

A few of my girlfriends and myself had weighed ourselves before our intermittent fasting journey. For myself in particular, I found that these health benefits were true. I started intermittent fasting in early march in order to decrease my caloric intake and specifically to decrease the amount of sugar I ate. The first month of IF and reducing sugar intake is the HARDEST! Something I have found is that many health articles never tell you how hard it is to become better. I want to tell you from personal experience that GETTING HEALTHY IS HARD BUT IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. After struggling to fast for a few periods, at the end of my first month it finally started to get easier. I slowly realized that after 3-4 weeks of fasting I did not have an urge to snack or to grab a sugary beverage. I was feeling lighter and like I had more agility when I woke up each morning. At the start of my journey I was close to 140 pounds.  Now that I have been intermittent fasting for close to 3 months I have dropped close to 10 pounds. The hardest part for me -and I’m sure for others- is not eating past your fasting times. It is super important to know that just because you mess up one day, it is not the end of the world! It is okay if you disrupt a meal period, my advice would be to understand that these things happen, and to start strong again the next day.

It is easy to feel discouraged and that is why I wanted to share my small journey with you. I, too, had many times where I wanted to give up, but I knew I wanted to make an impactful change. Being hoarded inside the house for months can be hell when you are tempted by so many snacks and foods. I want to tell you that you can overcome the need to reach in your cupboard. That you can overcome your addiction to sugar no matter how big or small. Know that it will be a journey that will contain bumps in the road. Healthy articles and healthful instagram pages make it seem like it is successful the first time around. Whether it is easy for you or something you think you can’t do, Im here to say YOU CAN. YOU CAN INTERMITTENT FAST. YOU CAN OVERCOME A SUGAR ADDICTION. YOU CAN TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH.

Stay awesome, and stay hydrated ;)

Firm your thighs and turn your left thigh outward so that the center of the left knee cap is in line with the center of the left ankle. Bend your left knee over the left ankle, so that the shin is perpendicular to the floor. If possible, bring the left thigh parallel to the floor. Anchor this movement of the left knee by strengthening the right leg and pressing the outer right heel firmly to the floor. Keep the sides of the torso equally long and the shoulders directly over the pelvis. Press the tailbone slightly toward the pubis. Turn the head to the left and look out over the fingers.

Cycling and weight loss challenges

Cycling and weight loss challenges

I am so pleased with my new road bike, thank you Velo Schills. I have been out on it just a few times this week, still getting use to the gear changes and the brakes – almost collided with a car on a down hill today where I lost control, so definitely need to work on my steering and breaking! eep!

In the gap waiting for my new bike I put on a few pounds again which is very discouraging,…

How’s everyone feeling after Christmas? Definitely overindulged on the fruit and nuts here and feeling it a bit today. Which bought me to this post. You may think your doing the right thing by loading up on those fruits, yes they are packed full of lots of nutrients but if your not careful your sugar intake can go overboard, especially if your diet is full of other sneaky sugars. Bacteria in your mouth treat any type of sugar as sugar, whether it’s from Natural or artificial sources. It’s ok to enjoy them every so often, that’s life, it’s all about the balance. Just be mindful of constant snacking on these types of fruits 📷 @maxlugavere . . #sugar #fruits #fruitlover #oralhealth #plantbased #sugarfree #sugarintake #caloriecounting #caloriedeficit #christmasoverindulgence #foodcoma #weightlosstip #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #wednesdaywisdom #eathealthy #balance #balanceddiet #balancedeating #knowledgeispower #holidayseason #lowfatdiet #dentaldecay https://www.instagram.com/p/Br2uVI2gVI3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r4cfrbu3rbmt
