With the holidays quickly approaching, many of our recipes are white sugar-heavy.
Natural sugars, such as whole fruits, contain many nutrients as well as fiber.
Refined sugars, however, such as those added to many foods and certainly to most baked goods, contain little nutrition and cause a variety of negative issues over time.
(And in the short term, too-- Studies associating sugar-forward breakfasts with lower test scores that day in students have been coming out more and more.)
But to keep this brief (this should be an essay!), limit refined sugars as much as possible.
Think of the big picture:
Satisfaction in the moment vs. feeling good later.
Swap for whole fruit and other healthier alternatives when possible.
Swipe to see some alternatives to sugar that you can use in your holiday baking this season!
⬇️ Comment down below your favorite 'no sugar' baked good! ⬇️

The Mayo Clinic says that "There is no magic pill to reverse the aging process. But if you want to counter the biological mechanisms that drive age-related conditions... you will need to exercise."🩺 Swipe to see some active lifestyle and movement ideas for seniors (or any of us)!
One of my personal favorites to recommend to clients is simply standing on one leg-- while holding on or keeping a hand near a sturdy object. Do this for 10-30 seconds before switching to the other leg. Try to complete 3 or more sets of these. It seems simple, but it is hugely beneficial to strengthening the lower body, supporting the joints, and core stability. Be sure to keep breathing!
**Importing: These ideas are great, but be sure to research proper form or seek a professional (certified fitness professional, physical therapist, etc.) to ensure they are right for your body and your form is correct to help rather than hurt.**
