Limit added sugar in drinks to 1 teaspoon
Excess sugar can harm your health. It may lead to weight gain, diabetes, and heart problems. The World Health Organization suggests limiting added sugar to less than 10% of your daily calories. The National Health Service in the UK recommends a maximum of 30 grams of sugar per day. For homemade drinks, it’s better to choose natural sweeteners. To keep your drinks healthy, try to limit added sugar to just one teaspoon. This small amount allows you to enjoy your drinks without going overboard on sugar. When making drinks like tea and coffee, consider how much sugar you're adding. For homemade juices, smoothies, and milkshakes, it's also important to be mindful of sugar. Even for cold coffee or iced tea, moderation is key. Enjoying beverages with less sugar can lead to a healthier lifestyle.
