5 Tips To Reduce Sugar In Your Diet

Sweet indulgences are okay once in a while, but making a habit of excess consumption can be bad for your health. Here are five tips to reduce sugar in your diet.

Choose natural sweeteners

Opt for natural sweeteners such as honey, jaggery, or maple syrup instead of refined sugar.

Savour the flavour of spices

Use spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg to enhance the sweetness of your dishes naturally.

Homemade desserts

Prepare your desserts at home and customise them by using healthy sugar alternatives.

Be wary of hidden sugars

Opt for whole, fresh foods and cook meals from scratch to have better control over the sugar content. Check labels carefully, and be mindful of terms like sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
