Another great reason to give up and some better food choice ideas

by Dr Joanna McMillan 

We spoke to Dr Joanna McMillan, our wonderful Sugar Free September ambassador, who gave us another great reason to give up and some better food choices to help you with you Sugar Free For MD challenge!

• Here is a productivity reason to go sugar free for a month –
• When you cut out the foods with loads of added sugar, you usually substitute more nutrient rich foods that nourish your body, but also your brain. Bottom line is that when you eat well you are more creative, work more productively and feel infinitely better!

• Here is a suggestion for better food choices than ones that contain refined or processed sugars –
• Choose fresh fruit over lollies. Vegie juice with a little fruit over soft drinks and sugar-sweetened drinks. Sugar-free dark chocolate over a chocolate confectionery bar. Cocoa made with milk and pure cocoa powder over a hot chocolate. A handful of nuts and a couple of prunes over a muffin. Natural yoghurt with berries over ice cream.
