Eat Less Refined or Simple Sugars

Simple sugars give you a quick sugar rush, but afterwards you will have less energy and feel sluggish. Refined sugars may also speed up the aging process.

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Read the labels. It will say how many grams of sugar it has.
  2. 2
    Bear in mind that some things, like pineapples, do not need added sugar to have an excess level of sugar.
  3. 3
    Look at the ingredients. Added sugars will usually end with -ose, such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose and dextrose. If it rhymes with Gross, It's bad for you.
  4. 4
    Never eat anything that has a sugar as the first thing on the ingredients list. This means there is more sugar than any other ingredient.
