We all know that refined and processed foods, including sugar, increase inflammation in the body and that chronic inflammation is at the root of most diseases. If your goal is to live a long and healthy life it’s important that you start making good food choices most of the time and focus on balance and moderation.
When it comes to our diet, slowly replacing refined sugars with less refined alternatives and dried fruits is a great step in the right direction and having a batch of date syrup in the fridge ensures that next time you feel like eating something sweet you’ll have a healthier option ready to go. You can use this date syrup in pancakes, smoothies, muffins or mix it with raw cocoa powder and hazelnuts to make a delicious chocolate spread!
