Preferi esperar a poeira baixar, dar tempo de nos adaptarmos a nova realidade em relação a pandemia com a qual ainda estamos lidando, antes de trazer alguns pontos que podem servir de verdadeiras pérolas para todos nós, tanto onívoros (aqueles que comem de tudo), quanto vegetarianos (aqueles que restringem parcialmente ou completamente o consumo de produtos de origem animal). De fato, não imaginei que passaríamos por isso; já demos adeus a mais de um milhão de vidas (e subindo...) ( WORLDOMETERS, 2020 ) por conta de um vírus que tende a ser ainda mais perigoso quando infecta portadores de doenças crônicas como diabetes e hipertensão, asma, assim como obesos e indivíduos acima de 60 anos ( CENTRO DE CONTROLE E PREVENÇÃO DE DOENÇAS, 2020 ). Nos escondemos atrás de máscaras e litros de álcool em gel, mas sem nós dar conta de que através do desenvolvimento de Fitness (Hábitos Saudáveis, Educação Física e Nutrição), poderíamos prevenir não só as chances de termos graves complicações ao li
I've just come back from the grocery and it has been a while since I stopped to realize that almost everything on the shelves pack some kind of sugar. And before you think this article is here to inform the possible hazards of eating too much of it, the subject is quite simple: we are mostly unaware of the real amount of added sugar we eat on a daily basis.
1. Flavored Or Fake Greek Yogurt
Unless it is real Greek yogurt, as we talked about in a previous article, most of the brands out there are only interested in generating profits. By adding sugar to their formulas, as well as illustrating their packages with "fat-free", "all natural sweeteners" messages, they tend to convince you that we are making a good choice.
2. Fruit Juices
Think smart, we are made of water, not juice, soft drinks, or any of the sugary options you might think of. A glass of all natural juice, even if it is homemade, tends to pack more sugar than other "not so healthy" options. The fact of not being processed does not mean that it won't hold a good amount of sugar, even if it is natural.
3. Ketchup
You would probably find it awkward if you saw someone ordering French fries with caramel sauce as a side dish, for that, it is time to learn that two tablespoons of ketchup usually pack one teaspoon of sugar. The same is valid for salad dressings and barbecue sauces.
4. Bacon
Even happy strips of fat, originated from not so happy little friendly animals, are full of sugar, as sugar helps to increase shelf life, as well as it works enhancing the flavor and color of fried bacon.
