Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar So You Use Less

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar So You Use Less

On the average honey is 1 to 1.5 times sweeter than sugar.

Honey is very rich, sweet and delicious, so you use about half of what you would use in sugar to sweeten your food and drinks.

Both Honey and sugar have almost the same calorie content and both contain glucose and fructose. However, for sugar, in the process of manufacturing, the organic acids, protein, enzymes and vitamins in the sugar cane are destroyed, whereas honey, a natural sweetener, subjects only to minimal heating. Also, honey has certain beneficial antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which are not present in table sugar.

Try using a small amount in your coffee or tea during the day to help satisfy you and your sweet tooth, thereby avoiding sugar binges

New Year’s resolutions

New Year’s resolutions

Another year, yet another resolution

Does your 2014 New Year’s resolutions sound a bit like this: lose weight, exercise,  quit smoking, eat less crap, enjoy life and so on on and on.

As soon as January hits we see a huge increase in traffic at the gym, and plenty of motivated people who are determined to change their lifestyle after the last few months of awful holiday eating. They write out very broad goals, but no action steps, and usually lose the motivation by mid-March.

If you know you need to change your lifestyle, don’t plan for 30 days down the line, or even tomorrow morning. Start Now. There is no such thing as a ‘last meal’, give up on the dieting mindset – this isn’t a diet, this is a lifestyle that needs to work with your routine and schedule to be sustainable.

You know your schedule and your tastes best, and only you know what is sustainable with your busy life. If they work in your schedule, make it a habit, if it doesn’t work or it isn’t to your taste, then it won’t be sustainable for you to keep forcing yourself to do it, so lose it!

Don't let DIET or EXERCISE grown on you, accept it as a lifestyle enjoy it.....

Choose powerful vegetables

 Choose powerful vegetables

Fresh vegetables, leafy vegetables should be consumed in good amounts.. Not all vegetables are created equal. The darker the color, the higher the concentration of nutrients. For example, spinach has more to offer the mind and body than iceberg lettuce. Other great vegetable choices include bell peppers, broccoli and sweet potatoes. 

Also eating a lot of green leafy vegetable can help us with detoxifying the body
