Recovering from the Sugar Blues!
Oops! I'm a couple weeks late. I should have had
some tips for avoiding the sugar blues
before Easter. Oh well, here are some tips for
recovering from that overdose of
nutrient depleting empty calories. These tips work
for any time you happen to overdose on that sugary
stuff, so even though I'm a little late, save this
information for the next time you forget your will
power or just decide to indulge.
5 Tips for Recovering from a Sugar Overdose:
- If you have any Easter candy left or other
sweet goodies you just happen to have around, here
are a few things you can do with it:
- throw it away
- give it away
- eat 1 piece a day if you absolutely can't part with it
- Drink lots of water - at least half your body
weight in ounces. So, if you weigh 128 lbs.,
you should drink at least 64 ounces of water, or
1/2 gallon of water a day.
- Get back to eating lots of fresh fruits and
vegetables and good quality protein. Eat lots
of salad with extra virgin olive oil, raw
unfiltered apple cider vinegar and your favorite
herbs for salad dressing. Eat organic chicken or
fish, baked in the oven at 350 degrees F.
Lightly steam your veggies.
- Stay away from refined and processed foods.
Avoid the cookies, crackers, cakes, breads,
except whole grain breads and whole grain products.
Make sure they're whole grain. If an
ingredient says wheat or enriched instead of whole
wheat, it's not whole grain. And really,
grains are not necessary. You can have a healthy
diet without any grains at all. But make
sure you're heavy on the vegetables and not on the
meat if you do decide not to eat grains.
- Get some exercise every day - at least 30
minutes a day. Walk briskly, ride a bike,
play tennis, swim. Breathe in some good fresh air.

Healthy Recipe of the Month
Fruity Frozen Yogurt
1 cup frozen fruit
2-6 Tbsp plain goats milk yogurt
stevia liquid to taste (optional)
Choose 1 or any combination of frozen fruit.
My favorite is to mix blueberries,
raspberries, blackberries and mango. Mash
with a fork, or blend the frozen fruit
as it begins to thaw.
Add the yogurt 1 Tbsp at a time until it has
the flavor and texture you desire. This will
give you a tarty flavor.
If you
prefer a sweeter taste, add the
stevia 1 drop at a time until you
get the sweetness you desire. Be careful
not to add too much stevia. It will give
it a bitter taste.
Although I'm not a fan of dairy products, as
an occasional treat, this is a far
healthier frozen yogurt than what you buy
in the grocery store or at the corner
yogurt shop.
Your Healthy Eating Support Group Tip
Eat your juice and drink your food.
Digestion starts in
your mouth. Digestive enzymes are
released as you chew. The longer you chew
your
food, the better digested it will be and
the more nutrition you will get from it.
So, swish your juice around
in your mouth long enough to get the saliva
juices
flowing. And chew your food 40 times or as
long as
necessary to
make it a liquid before you swallow.
