DP Daily Prompt: Pour Some Sugar on Me

Sugar is great, had I not known how it  stealthily comes to make me eat it and then does all the evil things to me. Can I make a list,why I think so?

Sugar ruins my teeth, it causes my blood sugar to rise, it makes me gain weight, so I cannot really befriend sugar. As tempting as it is I have to think about my health before I give in to a slice of cheesecake or chocolate coated cashews.

When I was young I did not like sweets,I was always in favor of eating spicy nuts,sour berries, tamarind coated with cayenne and simply green chillies with my rice.

I’d get vicious stomach ache  after a week, I’d promise myself and my family I’d never touch the hot stuff.

Addiction tied me down, I couldn’t eat anything without some green chillies, the cycle continued hot chillies tummy ache and my promise to stay away from the hot stuff.

Then I entered into the land of matrimony, my husband loved sweets he’d always ask what’s for dessert,while eating supper. I’d try to keep him away from sweets but could never succeed. I started eating little at a time and discovered this stuff is not so bad. I was liking it more and more. Instead of giving up spicy food I added another thing which was equally bad for me.

Now I wonder who is responsible for my bad habits,I’d say Mom introduced me to spicy foods and my husband for eating sweets.

You want to know  what is my favorite dessert or what is my favorite salty snack. I’d say none of them. They are bad for me.

Writing Prompt: Sliced Bread https://sabethville.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/365-days-jan 27-sliced bread/

There are many things actually the best since sliced bread. If we take into account the ones that are best for health. 

I’d like to mention  health benefits, since much is written about what tastes good and what is good for health.  To me bagels can easily replace  sliced bread as far as taste goes. Neither is healthy,because both affects blood sugar. If we want to be healthy,we’d have to strike both of them off the list.

What can we eat which is tasty and does not raise our blood sugar. According to research oatmeal is a good substitute, I’m not sure if it satisfies our palate. I eat porridge daily,I’m used to it, I’ve stopped thinking about taste. I sure am glad it does not raise my blood sugar.

Therefore what do I think is actually best since sliced bread?  Keeping in mind especially about my health, which is more important,I think I’d go for bread,bagel or anything that is made with oatmeal.
