Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening…

… sugar at supper time, won’t you be my sugar and love me all the time?

sugarSugar, don’t we just love the stuff? That wonderful sweetness as it hits our lips, rolls over our tongues,increase the mouth watering delight…..oh soooooo goooood

STOP! put the sugar down and back away fastly. (editors note – is that a word? : )

Sugar is NOT YOUR FRIEND, in fact sugar is one of the most destructive substances in the human diet. AGEs are advanced glycation endproducts, protein molecules that bind to collagen(the connective tissue of cartilage) and make it stiff. Inflammatory response to sugar is getting high glances from many medical personnel as it seems to cause many other issues as well. Heart disease, this inflammatory response irritates the blood vessels and may well be the number one cause of metabolic syndrome(type 2 diabetes).

VALENTINE DAY is just around the corrrrneeeer. One piece of chocolate does not make ones heart inflame(atory) but this may be the year that you think of different ways of expressing your love for someone. Foot massage, a great big beautiful salad, with baby greens(no iceburg lettuce), with feta cheese, walnuts (lightly coated and baked with maple syrup and olive oil), nice warm pomegranate juice (pure) dressing, 1/2tsp dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of pomegranate juice, 1/4cup of lemon juice, 1/4 cup extra light virgin olive oil, salt/pepper put on stove till warm, spritzer it over your salad, oh so good, diamonds does a body good,…….or was that milk?hmmm.

Enjoy your sweetie who ever he or she maybe, may be your best pet, but remember, move the mass, savor the flavor, and hug the mug(you)…
