Sugar is a simple carbohydrate which causes blood sugar levels to rise which can translate to increased fat storage. Over time this consistency can lead to type-2 diabetes. Look for foods that have low sugar amounts in relation to the total carbohydrates per serving. Also, look for the words “whole grain” in the ingredient list as this is a sign that the product contains unprocessed, slow digesting carbohydrates.

Start by standing on one foot and slowly reaching the opposite leg out in front of you, then to the side, and then diagonally behind you. Repeat on the opposite side.
