Dear ,
While most of the population is home due to social distancing recommendations, more and more people are trying to recreate their favorite food and drinks... which are normally ordered when they go out to their local bar or restaurant.
And like many adults, I enjoy the ritual and relaxation of a cocktail or two. But I also seek ways to imbibe more healthfully. And one of the best ways to do that is to reduce the sugar in your drinks.
Why is reducing sugar the way to go?
Well, the US population (and many around the world) are facing an epidemic of liver disease... and while other social issues are catching the headlines as of late, liver disease is nothing to bat an eye at.
One out of every four people in the US have liver disease (soon expected to be the leading cause of liver transplants). And while you might think alcohol is to blame, think again...
This epidemic is caused by too much sugar (particularly fructose).
I'm talking about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - a condition that occurs when excess sugar and carbohydrates are converted to fat. Over time, fatty deposits saturate the liver and reduce its ability to function.
Another reason why it's so important to moderate your consumption of sugar. And this directive is even more important if you consume alcohol.
So, since many are trying to perfect their favorite alcoholic beverages from home, I thought I would share with you a healthier version of the wildly popular Moscow Mule - a sweet, spicy and sour mixture of ginger beer, lime juice and vodka.
Looking for more ways to reduce the amount of sugar you and your family are consuming, but still want to enjoy your favorite sweets?
You'll find dozens more low-glycemic, all-natural recipe makeovers and healthy desserts.
Get ready to enjoy all your sweet, delectable favorites... and be well too!
To Your Health,
