As we head into the festive season, many of us will be surrounded by sugary temptations and in this healthy tip, we give you some helpful ideas to reduce your consumption while still joining in the festivities. Alternatively, nd low-sugar or sugar-free recipes that use fruit such as bananas for sweetness. Jazz up fruit Fruit can make the perfect tasty treat and will o er you some extra bre which contributes to heart health. A simple fruit skewer drizzled in a little chocolate looks great on a platter and can be enjoyed by everyone as a healthier, sweet option. Or why not arrange various fruits into the shape of a Christmas tree to entice people to dive in. Watch out for hidden sugars Added sugar is sneaky, and can crop up in foods we don’t even realise they are in. When trying to reduce your intake, a great rst place to start is to check the labels of food products you regularly eat and swap them for lower sugar versions. Common culprits are yoghurts, breakfast cereals, cereal bars, so drinks (even if they look healthy), condiments and sauces. Try lower sugar alternatives by swapping any foods you regularly consume that contain more than 5g of sugar per 100g. Make your own desserts A festive, family get-together wouldn’t be complete without a sweet treat or dessert to enjoy a er your meal. While buying cake or biscuits from a shop is easy, if we make it at home ourselves, we can reduce the sugar content. Many recipes work just as well and taste just as good with half the recommended sugar, simply reduce the amount you add to the mixture.
