We should all stop and consider how much sugar we really take in each day? Sugar is addicting and not good for health and longevity. Did you know that one 20oz cola has 65grams of sugar? Well, if that surprised you—it should! That is 3 day’s worth of a sugar high—and much much more than any of us should ever be ingesting! Especially not our children who tend to drink one cola after another. Whether you’re packing a school lunch or your brown bag for the office, keep the sugary drinks and processed and packaged foods away. Adopt the attitude that if you don’t buy it, you won’t pack it. Making small adjustments like this will help keep your weight down and your energy levels up.
