How Much Sugar Is In The Food We Eat

Working to reduce the amount of added sugar you consume each day is a worthy goal, especially because many common foods and beverages provide extra sugar and calories but very little of the quality nutrition our bodies need.

On its own, sugar isn’t necessarily good or bad. It becomes a concern when you consume foods that are high in calories and added sugar but low in essential nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Many everyday foods, beverages, and condiments contain a surprising amount of added sugar without contributing much nutritional value. Cutting back on these sources of excess sugar is a good idea for both your well-being and your waistline.
But, there is no need to eliminate sugar completely, especially if you want to eat in a way that supports your health and wellness goals. Sugar and other carbohydrates are essential nutrients that play a vital role in many bodily functions, including in the nervous system and immune system. Not to mention that naturally occurring sugar is present in many of the delicious, nourishing foods we should enjoy every day.


Does Sugar Belong in a Healthy Diet?

Short answer: in controlled amounts, yes. When many people think of “sugar,” they often think of added sugar found in processed junk foods and desserts. However, simple sugars and other carbohydrates are naturally found in many nourishing foods that are important to a healthy diet like fruits, vegetables, dairy, legumes, and whole grains.

The table below provides a breakdown of how much sugar is naturally found in nutritious foods.

When considered in the context of these healthful and nutritionally balanced recipes, 25 grams of naturally occurring sugar is nothing to be concerned about. It’s part of a nutrient-dense meal that also provides vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber for about 500 calories.

Sugar is a natural part of any balanced meal that’s intended to support a healthy lifestyle, which is why sugar is used purposefully to provide a natural sweetness and a source of carbohydrate in Isagenix products.

Those who use an Isagenix System are likely to reduce their dietary intake of sugars by a considerable amount. Each serving of IsaLean™ Shake provides about 11 grams of sugar, which is substantially less than the sugar you might receive from a healthful, balanced meal. This amount falls well within the American Heart Association’s recommendations for sugar intake as part of a healthy diet.

Limiting added sugar from desserts, beverages, and packaged snacks is good advice to follow, but getting targeted amounts of sugar from healthful, nutritious foods should not be a concern. If you’re aiming to reduce the amount of added sugar you get each day, an Isagenix System has the tools to help you reach your goal.

Introducing The Daily Digestive Health System for Better Gut Health!

2019 is all about results.  

Your current journey into weight loss and better health might focus on the pounds on the scale, the inches on your waist, and the calories in your diet. While those are all important considerations, there’s something else that scientists now know is a key component of weight loss and overall wellness — gut health. 

It’s All About Your Microbiome There is a rich ecosystem inside your gut filled with bacteria, called the microbiome, that contributes to better digestion, healthy weight loss, and overall health. But, life is filled with obstacles and events that can throw your microbiome into chaos, including your diet. Your gut relies on lots of different good bacteria and digestive enzymes to break down food, absorb nutrients, and restore digestive comfort so you can feel great. 

Say Hello to IsaBiome The IsaBiome™ Daily Digestive Health System combines the very best in probiotics and digestive enzymes to support a better gut microbiome and gut health.† Here’s how it works: 

Probiotics 
  • With two specialized formulas for vegetarian and conventional diets, the diverse range of probiotics (the healthy bacteria that are great for your gut) help develop a healthy ecosystem in your microbiome and crowd out bad bacteria in your gut.† 
  • From development to packaging, we use advanced techniques to ensure the probiotics are viable and effective all the way to your doorstep. No refrigeration required. 
  • A diverse blend of probiotics helps build a healthier gut microbiome that contributes to better weight loss and overall wellness.† 

​Digestive Enzymes 
  • Also developed for vegetarian and conventional diets, the right digestive enzymes help break down food better so your body can absorb more nutrients.† 
  • Our bodies create digestive enzymes on their own, but as we eat a larger variety of foods, the additional enzymes provided in the IsaBiome Daily Digestive Health System can assist your digestive system in breaking them down.† 
  • Better digestive health from digestive enzymes means better nutrient absorption and immediate gut relief after eating.† 

​On their own, the probiotics and digestive enzymes from Isagenix have amazing benefits (immediate and/or long term), but combined, they create the IsaBiome Daily Digestive Health System, which can support better overall health, provide digestive comfort, and help you build a healthy lifestyle. These factors are just as important to your Isagenix journey as the inches on your waist or the pounds on the scale.
