Dancing With Mental Health (Over 40)

For those of you trying to give up sugar I would recommend having some dates and nuts knocking about.
The dates seem to have magical properties in that they are packed full of sugar but don’t give you the spikes and crashes that refined sugars do. The other benefits regarding gut health etc are well documented and for the last year i’ve been eating at least three or four dates a day plus a handful of nuts. Walnuts are supposed to be very good and it’s said that the advertised fat content of nuts is overstated as we don’t process all of the fat content (or something) so don’t let that put you off.
I have always been an absolute fiend for sweets, chocolate bars, biscuits and crisps etc but have cut those out entirely. I do have the 100% dark chocolate which also helps with cravings for the sweeter stuff.
Good luck!
