In the video, Dr Eric explains: When it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, many of us are aware that consuming too much sugar, breads, pasta, alcohol, and other unhealthy foods can have a negative effect on our overall health. However, the American Heart Association (AHA) still allows for a balanced diet that includes these items, as long as they are consumed in moderation. For example, the AHA recommends up to nine teaspoons of sugar for men and six teaspoons for women, and up to 65 percent of all calories can come from carbohydrates.
The doctor went on to say: While the AHA and other organizations have good intentions to help people, it’s important to understand the potential risks associated with consuming these foods. Eating too much sugar, for example, can lead to weight gain, increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and other health problems. Similarly, consuming too much alcohol can lead to liver damage, high blood pressure, and other health issues.
Doctor Eric then wen ton to advise on how to combat the negative effects of over consumption of sugar by saying: Fortunately, there are ways to counteract some of the negative effects of consuming these foods. One of the most important things to do is to limit the amount of unhealthy foods you consume. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help to reduce the amount of unhealthy food you consume. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of exercise. Exercise can help to burn off excess calories, reduce stress, and improve overall health.
In addition to these lifestyle changes, there are also natural supplements that can help to reduce the negative effects of consuming unhealthy foods. For example, probiotics can help to reduce inflammation and improve digestive health, while omega-3 fatty acids can help to reduce inflammation and improve heart health. Additionally, certain vitamins and minerals can help to reduce the risk of diabetes and other health problems.
