The most commonly sung song for English-speakers on New Year’s eve, “Auld Lang Syne” is an old Scottish song that was fi rst published by the poet Robert Burns in the 1796 edi- tion of the book, Scots Musical Museum. Burns transcribed it (and made some refi nements to the lyrics) after he heard it sung by an old man from the Ayr- shire area of Scotland, Burns’s homeland.

22 • January 2018 • UPBEAT TIMES, INC. Did You Know... 10 Tips


#7: Sugary Cereals, Oh My! T ere is so much sugar in some breakfast cereals, that they should be carried in the candy isle. Kellogg’s Honey Smacks are 56% sugar, weighing in at 15 grams per serving. Kellogg’s Froot Loops, Marshmallow are 48% sugar and also contain 15 grams of sugar per serving. No need to go on – there are far too many examples of bad cere- als that are heavily marketed to young children. T ere are, how- ever, some better ones, like Eze- kiel 4:9 Almond Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal that has nutrient- rich ingredients and less than a single gram of sugar. But my fa- vorite cereal alternative is home- made oatmeal sprinkled with omega-3 walnuts and a dollop of dairy-free, unsweetened yogurt.


#8: Reduce Sugar in Coff ee and Tea Coff ee and tea are healthy bev- erages. But somehow Starbucks has turned them into high cal- orie, high fat, and high sugar drinks. A grande Coff ee Frap- puccion has 240 calories and 50 grams (4 tablespoons) of sugar. And a grande Green Tea Crème Frappuccino has 430 calories with 65 grams (5 tablespoons) of sugar. So stick to your regular coff ee or tea with a touch of ste- via and enjoy the many benefi ts of these drinks.


#9: Aſt ernoon Pick-Me-Up When I was a CEO, I had a con- tinual battle with the vending machine company trying to get them to off er healthy snacks to my employees. Other than a few

off erings of nuts and trail mixes, the rest consisted of sugar-fi lled candy bars or salty chips. When you work in an offi ce and start to get hungry around 4:00, your food choices may not be great. One Snickers bar has 30 grams of sugar, a bag of Skittles has 47 grams, a Hershey’s milk choco- late bar has 31 grams, a York Peppermint Pattie has 25 grams, and a Milky Way has 35 grams. So make sure you bring a piece of fruit to work or keep a little fruit bowl on your desk with tanger- ines, apples, and bananas. And take an ounce of raw nuts along with you too, like almonds, wal- nuts, pistachios, and pecans.


#10: Canned Vegetables Canned vegetables oſt en con- tain added sugar. You will fi nd sugar listed in the ingredients of many popular brands of canned vegetables. Whether they do this for preservation or just to ca- ter to the American palate, is a mystery. So if you are not able to buy fresh vegetables, always buy them frozen as they generally do not contain added sugar.


If you make these changes, you can signifi cantly improve your health. You may miss sugar at fi rst as our taste buds get attuned to too much fat, salt, and sugar - manufacturers count on this. But as we transition to a


healthier lifestyle by reducing these ingredients in our diet, we lose our cravings for them and once again appreciate the natural delicious fl avors of undoctored foods.
