Too much sugar is a silent health risk in the Pacific, contributing to diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Cutting back doesnโt mean missing outโhereโs how to lower your sugar intake while still enjoying your meals:
1. Swap Sugary Drinks for Healthier Alternatives
- Replace soft drinks with fresh coconut water, lemon-infused water, or unsweetened herbal teas.
2. Read Labels Carefully
- Many processed foods have hidden sugarsโcheck ingredient lists for words like sucrose, glucose, or high fructose corn syrup.
3. Choose Natural Sweeteners
- Opt for honey or stevia instead of refined sugar when sweetening beverages or baking.
4. Reduce Sugar in Cooking
- Traditional dishes can be made with less sugarโexperiment with reducing sugar without sacrificing taste.
5. Train Your Taste Buds
- Gradually decrease sugar so your taste buds adjust, making natural flavors more enjoyable.
Less Sugar, More Health!
Small steps can make a big difference in preventing NCDs and maintaining a balanced Pacific lifestyle.
