(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 26, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- Something has changed in Albany, GA. In line with the celebration of Mars Chocolate's 50th anniversary, a new street has been named Mars Chocolate Boulevard. Humans' relationship with chocolates and sweets, however, go way longer than 50 years—and it is not coming to an end anytime soon. As it is though, diabetes haunts those who abuse this relationship with sugar. In line with this, kitchenware brand Finesseur has made available, on their website and Facebook page, their recently released tips on managing sugar consumption.
Any endeavor people engage in require a decent amount of knowledge to achieve a goal. For Finesseur spokesperson Allison Montgomery, the latest information they released is one step towards the goal of having a healthier society. "People today don't make healthy food choices. Perhaps it's because food today is highly processed and heavily loaded with so much sugar and other preservatives. Or it could also mean that people are not properly informed. One of the main objectives we at Finesseur uphold is to help society become healthier and ultimately stronger. In order to meet this goal, we want to start with providing customers the right information on how to make healthier choices, in this case, how to beat diabetes by managing sugar consumption. Our food scale can help make this goal a reality by serving as an efficient measuring tool to carry out the food-related tips provided in the recent guide we posted on our website," Montgomery says.
The release of the guide echoes the recent findings the World Health Organization launched regarding diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic disease which occurs when the body isn't able to produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Diabetes can also occur when the body cannot effectively use the insulin that is released. According to the WHO, there were 347 million people known to be afflicted with diabetes in 2013. Diabetes was also responsible for an estimated 3.4 million deaths in 2004 and in 2010.
The information Finesseur has posted provides useful knowledge on how to make better and healthier decisions in choosing the food that is consumed everyday. Among the tips the guide has offered include introducing more physical activities in everyday life, indulging on healthy snacks like fruits, and planning the composition of everyday meals. Substantial planning of daily meals must also follow the recommended daily sugar consumption of 25 grams per day which is also stated in the guide.
"We all know how damaging to our bodies mindless eating is—consuming food with no care of what we take in. With fast food stores ever increasing in numbers and processed foods dominating our supermarkets, it is crucial to carefully plan meals ahead of time if one wants to stay healthy. Diabetes is real and here to stay—unless we act now and change things. When planning meals and following the suggestions in our guide, people should have a tool that can help them make these tips achievable. Our health is too precious to leave it to guessing measurements—more so if you are a diabetic. It is important to have a tool that can accurately give exact readings and measurements all the time. And when it comes to measuring something as light as sugar, it is important to have a high precision food scale for kitchen and cooking that is sensitive and precise in its readings, like our own Finesseur food scale," Montgomery says.
Sweets are always a delight to have. But when consumed senselessly and irresponsibly, the danger of diabetes creeps in. The tips Finesseur has recently shared, together with the digital kitchen scale they are offering, comes as a guide, not just for diabetics, but for anyone who wishes to manage their consumption of sugar and lead a healthier life.
