Candy, donuts, cake… We all love it. However, eating too much sugar has some negative effects. Research studies have linked a high added sugar intake with various medical conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, as well as poor dental health, and even behavioral issues. 
Cutting added sugar from our diet may help protect against chronic disease development and boost our overall health. In this episode, you’ll hear easy ways to  reduce added sugar in your diet. We believe that making key changes to our diet, exercise, and sleep patterns can also help beat cravings and create a healthier lifestyle.
