Cutting sugar from your diet

6 Simple Ways to Reduce Sugar in Your Diet

Reducing sugar in your diet can lead to better energy levels, improved dental health, and a lower risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Here are six easy ways to cut back on sugar without feeling deprived.

1. Choose whole foods

Processed foods often contain hidden sugars. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to naturally reduce your sugar intake.

2. Read food labels

Sugar hides under many names, such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, and high-fructose corn syrup. Check food labels and choose products with little or no added sugar.

3. Cut back on sugary drinks

Soft drinks, flavoured coffees, fruit juices, and energy drinks are loaded with sugar. Replace them with water, herbal teas, or sparkling water infused with fresh fruit for a natural sweetness.

4. Swap sugary snacks for healthier options

Instead of reaching for biscuits or chocolate, snack on nuts, yogurt with fresh berries, or hummus with vegetable sticks. These options provide nutrients and satisfy cravings without excess sugar.

5. Cook at home more often

Restaurant and takeaway meals often contain hidden sugars. Preparing meals at home allows you to control ingredients and use natural sweeteners like cinnamon or vanilla instead of sugar.

6. Reduce sugar gradually

Going cold turkey can be challenging. Slowly reduce sugar in your tea, coffee, and cereals to allow your taste buds to adjust. Over time, you’ll find you crave sugar less.

Making small, consistent changes can significantly reduce your sugar intake and improve your overall health. Give these tips a try and enjoy the benefits of a lower-sugar lifestyle!

How do you know if you grind your teeth?

Teeth grinding often happens without you realising — especially at night. In this video, Maggie explains some of the common signs to look out for, including:
• Jaw pain or soreness
• Frequent headaches
• Worn or flattened teeth

She also explains how your dentist can check for signs of grinding and, if needed, provide a mouthguard to help protect your teeth.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you might be grinding your teeth, this quick video is a great place to start 👇

Can mouthwash replace brushing?

In this short video, Carol explains why brushing for two minutes, twice a day is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy — and why mouthwash should not be seen as a replacement.

She also talks about:
• When mouthwash may be appropriate
• Why mouthwash should only be used if directed by a dentist or hygienist

Simple habits, done properly, make the biggest difference.
