There’s been a lot in the news lately about sugar. Rather than avoiding fat in our diet we should be looking at the sugar content. In a simple breakfast cereal there can be as many as 6 teaspoons of sugar per serving. Even more if you’re loading the sugar on top. Yoghurts fruit juices and even fruit, seemingly healthy but loaded with sugar. As we all know too much sugar can lead to a variety of health issues including kidney problems, blood pressure and of course diabetes.

Try finding a diet that suits your body type. The metabolic diet is one way. Most of us are influenced more strongly by one or other neurological system, depending on whether we are sympathetic dominant or parasympathetic dominant. A high protein diet has a positive effect on a protein type person, but a completely different effect on a carb person. By customising your diet you can boost your health and vitality.

Another alternative is the GI diet. This diet ranks carbs according to their effect on blood glucose levels. Carbs with a low GI score produce only small fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin levels, whereas high GI foods cause a sudden sugar rush. Avoid processed foods like white bread, white sugar and white rice, as well as fried foods. Good foods are fish, pulses, beans and most vegetables.
