Eat Less Added Sugar The American Heart Association (AHA) has put a limit on the amount of added sugars that should be consumed — the first organization to do so. • Most women should consume no more than 100 calories of added sugars per day. • Most men should consume no more than 150 calories of added sugars each day. That’s about 6 teaspoons of added sugar a day for women and 9 for men. Try these suggestions to help you eat fewer sugars: • Eat a pear, peach, apple or other sweet fruit to satisfy a sugar craving.You might feel deprived if you don’t eat a few sweets. • Reserve high-calorie desserts for special occasions, and eat them in moderate amounts. • Choose desserts that are better for you — such as frozen yogurt topped with fruit and nuts. • Dentists recommend that if you eat sweets, eat them at meal time (not between meals) and brush afterward. • Buy whole-grain, unsweetened cereals for breakfast. If you need a sweeter taste, add berries, bananas or raisins. Source: American Heart Association.
