Everyone loves the holidays, especially the food and drinks that come with them. Christmas ham and holiday eggnog are two favorites, but the eggnog, usually from a family recipe passed down for generations, is saturated with sugar. No one is suggesting cutting out the eggnog, but how about enjoying the best of both worlds and using low-fat milk and stevia instead of whole milk and sugar? This is just one quick and easy healthy adjustment to a holiday favorite that Content Checked Holdings, Inc.’s (OTCQB: CNCK) SugarChecked app can help you with.
There is really no substitute for being healthy and extending your lifespan. In today’s world of smartphone apps like SugarChecked, coming up with excuses just doesn’t sound as appealing as it used to. SugarChecked identifies four main types of sugars that consumers can avoid – including added sugars, artificial sweeteners, natural low-calorie sweeteners and sugar alcohols. This application is an easy shopping tool that helps consumers decipher often-misleading food labels and receive recommendations for healthier alternative products in real time as they shop.
Understanding the effects to your health of adding alcohol to your holiday drinks is a big reason to use the SugarChecked app as well. In a recent article titled ‘Sip it or Skip it: Healthiest and Unhealthiest Holiday Drinks’ featured on The Daily Meal and MSN Lifestyle, Content Checked Registered Dietitian Tory Tedrow stated: “Some champagne varieties contain the least amount of added sugar. A four ounce flute contains about 100 calories.”
Content Checked is spearheading an effort to educate the technology hungry, health conscience consumer with its suite of mobile apps. Progress, not perfection should be the mantra of everyone attempting to convert to a healthier way of living. The more we do it, the easier it gets, and, after a while, it becomes second nature. However, faith without work is dead; just reading and talking about it isn’t nearly enough. Getting consumers to buy healthy alternatives and substitute them into current recipes are the actions the company is striving for with its family of apps.
