 3 Reasons To 'bag' Sugar
Sugar-filled foods are among the most-craved items in our diet. But consider these not-so-sweet facts next time your sugar-craving kicks in:
Sugary foods fill you up with "empty" calories. That means you're probably not eating enough fruits, vegetables, and whole grains - foods which contain the much-needed nutrients our bodies require to fight off disease.
Too much sugar in foods that are high in calories makes you gain weight, and too much weight can contribute to disorders like diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.
Too much sugar can make you feel tired, shaky, weak, faint, headachey, confused, and mentally dull.
