This Months Power 9 Focus:
80% Rule
People who live in Okinawa, Japan (one of
the world’s Blue Zones areas), have a wise
strategy when it comes to maintaining a
healthy weight. They call it “hara hachi bu”,
which means to stop eating when you are
80% full. Studies show that cutting back on
calories can lead to better heart health,
longevity and weight loss. In fact, losing just
10% of your body weight offers significant
health benefits, such as lower blood pressure
and cholesterol, which can reduce your risk of
heart disease.

How much added sugar are you consuming?
According to the CDC, Americans
are eating and drinking too much
added sugars which can lead to
health problems such as weight
gain and obesity, type 2 diabetes,
and heart disease. To live
healthier, longer lives, most need
to move more and eat better
including getting fewer calories
from added sugars.
Added sugars are sugars and
syrups that are added to foods or
beverages when they are
processed or prepared. Naturally
occurring sugars such as those in
fruit or milk are not added sugars.
Added sugars are called by many
different names. Examples of
added sugars seen on ingredient
labels include brown sugar, corn
sweetener, corn syrup, dextrose,
fructose, glucose, high-fructose
corn syrup, honey, lactose, malt
syrup, maltose, molasses, raw
sugar, and sucrose.
Americans should keep their
intake of added sugars to less
than 10% of their total daily
calories as part of a healthy diet.
For example, in a 2,000 calorie
diet no more than 200 calories
should come from added sugars.
The leading sources of added sugars in the U.S. diet are sugar-sweetened
beverages, grain-based desserts like cakes and cookies, candy, and dairy desserts
like ice cream.
Sugar Shocker
When you read the labels on foods, its no surprise that you find plenty
of sugar in products like cake mix, ice cream, jelly, cookies, and soda.
But it can be downright shocking to see 12 grams of sugar in bottled
pasta sauce or barbecue sauce— and even more so to find 50 grams
of sugar in a healthy-sounding bottle of tea!
So how much exactly is a gram of sugar? One teaspoon of
granulated sugar equals 4 grams of sugar. To put it another way,
16 grams of sugar in a product is equal to about 4 teaspoons of
granulated sugar.

Sneaks up in Drinks
Added sugars can quickly
sneak into many drinks
we may choose to
hydrate with, such as
Vitaminwater,
sweetened teas and
coffee drinks, flavored
milks, juices, sports
drinks, energy drinks, soft
drinks, and lemonade.
For example, a 20 fl oz

Eating Local– The Benefits
•
Local foods support
your local economy.
•
Local foods are fresher
(and taste better). Do
you think you can’t taste
the difference between
lettuce picked yesterday
and lettuce picked last
week, factory-washed,
and sealed in plastic? Do
a taste test, I’m betting
you can.
•
Local foods usually have
less environmental
impact. Those
thousands of miles
some foods are shipped
leads to a big carbon
footprint when there
are local markets
available.
