Sometimes
when we feel down or sad, we indulge ourselves in eating sweet sugary foods and
beverages. This is because sweets have a way of lifting our moods. It’s like
they have this power to take us away temporarily from that which makes us feel
sad; the satisfaction they bring leaves us feeling happy. Sweets are made
from refined sugar with no nutritional value at all. But here are some of the
sweets that we all love to eat and their best and healthiest alternatives:
1.
Sweetened Iced Tea
An ice-cold, sweet and
flavorful iced tea can be so tempting especially when you are thirsty. But did
you know that drinking a 16-ounce bottle of sweet ice tea adds about 160
calories (that’s pretty high in calories) and about 40 grams of sugar?
Best Alternative
Make your own ice-cold,
sweet, and highly flavored tea and keep it in the fridge for a satisfying cold
drink. What’s good about this is that there’s no added sweetener unlike the
bottled ones which is great because it lowers down your sugar intake.
2. Yogurt
Yogurt isn’t just healthy,
it’s also a great snack and fills the body with protein and probiotics. But
some flavored yogurts can raise your sugar intake to as much as 33 grams per
6-ounce serving.
Best Alternative
Create your own. It’s easy,
healthy and here’s how to do it... Read more from: Healthy Alternatives To Your Favorite Sweets
