Anna, one of our favorites at
Coffee Fusion
Today at our second home, AKA Coffee Fusion, Anna, a manager there, stopped by our table. Conversation
ensued about her attempts to lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels
through diet and exercise as an alternative to starting prescription
medications.
She gave me a new slant on one of the realities I find aggravating as I face the same
challenges.
“They put sugar in everything. That’s
just plain rude!” she said.
I understand her
frustration. Hats off to Anna and to all of us who are trying to go healthier
and who deal with the frustrations that accompany lifestyle changes.
Have a healthy weekend!
she is a cutie... and don't forget the salt they add to everything. the frozen foods section is pure salt and of course sugar
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about sugar and salt in everything. Our bodies need a bit of salt but I think we can do without the sugar....why is it so hard though?
ReplyDeleteSeems my favorites are filled with it.
Having this horrible cold has helped me stay away from most of it. Nothing tastes right. I think my taste buds died.
Love the shot from your "second home".
Label reading has become an art form.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have to watch what we eat and drink. The latest news is that there is an ingredient in the caramel coloring that makes Pepsi and Diet Pepsi carcinogenic. Who knew!
ReplyDeleteShe sounds just like my husband...he is diabetic and he has to ask so many questions when we eat out. There are so many hidden ingredients in restaurant food! Especially sugars.
ReplyDeleteLabels have become masters of illusion and deception. You think you are doing all right till you read portion size. Who are they kidding.
ReplyDeleteIt is tough to eliminate 'real' suger from our diets, but Splenda is splendid. Dianne
ReplyDeleteThe only trouble about label reading is that even with my glasses I still need a magnifying glass. Anna is right though - salt and sugar in too much. Wish we had a coffee shop in our village.
