Inflammation? Know How Much Sugar Your Coffee Has

Did I ever tell you about the time I dropped my one day old brand new IPad AND cracked the screen? 🤭. I did not know what was happening to my body but I no longer had any type of grip — at all! It would take several more months until I found out that my body was attacking itself with the autoimmune disease of Rheumatoid Arthritis. _When I began my fitness journey and began learning about food, I wanted to know about reducing inflammation. So here today is my third post regarding reducing sugar in our diets. šŸ‘_So far we’ve covered prioritizing your sweets and saying no to soda. Today we cover knowing how much sugar is in your coffee or going easy on those coffee concoctions! šŸ®_Did you know a medium pumpkin spice latte from one popular coffee house has more than 12 teaspoons of sugar 😲 and 420 calories; a medium frozen mocha swirl from another chain contains about 35 teaspoons of sugar and 730 calories. That’s right — in one drink. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø_Some flavored syrups are all sugar. Unsweetened tea and coffee ā˜•ļø are your healthiest options, but if you prefer flavor, consider the syrups made with non-nutritive sweeteners._Something to think about especially if you are living with inflammation. I was able to return the iPad for a new one and since the diet changes, my inflammation markers are below normal and I haven’t dropped an iPad since. šŸ™Œ #reduceinflammation, #inflammationfighter, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #reclaimingmylife, #reclaimingpatty, #wlstories, #persistent, #fitover55
