Don’t Cut Out, Just Limit

It seems obvious, right? If your blood sugar is high, don’t have a cupcake at your daughter’s class party. In truth, however, the trick is limiting the amount of sweet foods you eat, not cutting them out entirely.  Just like I use a Ladybug vapor steam cleaners to keep our house clean.. and mold and dust away.

How does it work..??  Limiting sweets — or, even better, balancing them with whole grains and low-sugar foods — gives you a well-rounded diet rich in nutrition. Sugary foods, such as cupcakes, don’t provide much in the way of nutrients, will pack on the pounds, and are sure to raise your blood sugar.

By Do that..?? Eat a bite or two of a cupcake at the party, and then switch to a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts.
