Smart Ways to Reduce Sugar Intake

1) Choose sweets that contain some needed nutrients such as fresh fruit or lightly sweetened whole-grain cereal.

2) Swap candy for healthy snacks such as air popped popcorn or baked tortilla chips.

3) Stay away from juice and smoothie bars. Many smoothies or juice blends concocted at juice bars contain excessive amounts of sugar. Some drinks have 30 grams of sugar, which is the amount found in a can of regular soda.

4) Read nutrition labels. Aim to keep sugar content under 10 grams per serving. By doing this, you will help stabilize your blood sugar and regulate hunger more effectively.

4 Easy Ways to Reduce Sodium Intake

1) Compare nutrition labels of canned foods for the lowest sodium content.

2) Rinse your food: Running water over canned tuna, salmon, and veggies can reduce sodium content by as much as 30%.

3) Swap salt for spices: Cook with fresh or dried herbs, salt-free seasoning blends, lemon juice, and flavored vinegars.

4) Choose wisely at restaurants: Check sodium content before ordering. Ask for low-salt dishes, and request sauce and dressing on the side.
