Sugar Rush
T
he American Heart Association recommends
no more than four teaspoons of added
sugar per day for kids 1 to 3 years of age,
three teaspoons for 4- to 8-years-old and 5
to 8 teaspoons for 9- to 12-year-olds. Yet,
American children on average
get several times the recommended amount (up to 21 teaspoons for 4- to 8-year-olds!)
Reduce sugar consumption by
limiting sugary drinks (including juice), desserts, flavored
dairy products like sweetened yogurt and sugary cereals. Try more water, fresh
fruit and vegetable snacks,
and plain yogurt with fresh
fruit instead. Choose cereals with less than five grams of sugar
per serving and offer fruit as a topping.

The Doctor Yum Project is now offering FREE
shopping classes at two area grocery stores.
The class is aimed at showing families how to
get organized and save money while preparing
healthy recipes. In May, we are offering our
���Cooking Adventure��� for kids ages 7-12 to
learn seasonal, plant-based cooking. Look for
our summer camps, which will be announced
soon, too!
