THE SUGAR-FREE KITCHEN

Ask yourself: Is this food Healthy and Healing for my body, or is it Harmful?

If you have blood sugar imbalances, sugar cravings or any of the "Conditions of Aging" like aching joints, fatigue, brain fog, sleep disorders, and yes even chronic diseases, it is best to avoid anything that will spike your blood sugar, and focus instead on healing foods that will help balance it.

This means becoming a savvy shopper, reading labels of any packaged food you buy, and avoiding anything that is highly refined as well as anything with too much added sugar.

Remember, sugar in its various forms is often added to: cereals, cookies, cakes, muffins, bread, crackers, chips, granola bars, condiments like ketchup, salad dressing and sports drinks.

And it is highly concentrated in refined grain products like white bread and white rice, breaking down quickly into simple sugars.

And yes, we can replace refined foods with Healthy, Healing alternatives!
