I can still take foods with sugar but I limit my
sugar intake, so I look at the amount of sugar in
the nutrition panel. Our body, and especially our
brain, require sugar in order to function. I choose
to eat foods like vegetables and fruits, fresh or frozen. It was a challenge to change my eating habits.
Fortunately, Inuit Nunangat, our homeland, is rich
with wonderful foods such as seal meat, fish and
seafood, as well as the fruits from the tundra like
crowberries, cloudberries and blueberries. That is
what we need to bring back so that our future generations will be healthy.
The next step is to have people with knowledge
in every community. We need to have dedicated,
trained individuals to serve their community
through sharing information and helping. When
we understand, we can take action and this improves lives. Anyone can make a fresh start too. I
consider myself as an example of this since I can
do more things today than before, though I am
older. I want to be well, so that is why I am trying
my best!

Le sucre, c’est le sucre blanc ou la cassonade utilisée dans la cuisine. Il en existe aussi
d’autres types comme le glucose-fructose,
le fructose, le lactose, le miel, la mélasse, et
le sirop de maïs. La quantité de sucre qui
figure dans le tableau de la valeur nutritive
tient compte de ces autres types de sucre.
On retrouve environ 4 grammes de sucre
dans une cuillère à thé. Chaque cuillère à thé
de sucre contient environ 16 calories. Une
grande consommation de sucre peut entraîner une consommation calorique excessive qui constitue un facteur contributif de
l’embonpoint et de l’obésité. Or, puisqu’elle
augmente le risque d’importantes maladies
chroniques telles que les maladies cardiovasculaires, le diabète de type 2 et le cancer,
l’obésité suscite aujourd’hui une préoccupation de santé publique au Canada. Une
alimentation riche en sucre ajouté risque
aussi de se révéler faible en vitamines et en
minéraux essentiels dont le corps a besoin.
Mais attention, il n’y a aucun risque de surdose de sucre naturel des petits fruits et des
fruits.

Sugar is refined, white, or unrefined,
brown sugar used in cooking. It also exists
in other forms such as glucose-fructose,
fructose, lactose, honey, molasses and corn
syrup. The quantity of sugars found in the
nutritional facts table takes these other sugars into account. We find approximately 4
grams of sugar in a teaspoon-full. Each teaspoon contains approximately 16 calories.
Heavy consumption of sugars can entail
an excessive intake of calories, which is a
contributing factor to being overweight
or obese. Since obesity increases the risk
of important chronic diseases such as cardiovascular illnesses, type 2 diabetes and
cancer, it has now become one of Canada’s
major public health concerns. A diet high
in added sugars is also likely to be low in
essential vitamins and minerals that the
body needs. But remember, there is no risk
of taking in too much natural sugar from
berries and fruits.
