COUPLES PLEDGE TO STAY HEALTHY

-

There are plenty of compelling reasons to start healthy lifestyle changes at any age. Whether it is eating more fibre, drinking more water, cutting down on sugar or exercising regularly, they all help in keeping your calories under control. And for young, Delhi-based couples such as Archita and Arihant Jain or Upasana and Akshansh Khosla, keeping calories in check is as important as exercise.

“Fortunatel­y, as a couple, we share the same health goals. Therefore, we take small steps when it comes to food to make a difference and we also satisfy our sweet cravings by choosing sugar substitute­s,” says Upasana.

Experts believe that sugar consumptio­n is a major cause of obesity and many chronic diseases. Hence, healthy lowcal substitute­s are the way to go. So Archita and Arihant, who are both fitness oriented, manage their calorie needs carefully by beginning their day with Sugar Free in their coffee. Archita says, “It gives the desired sweetness and keeps the calorie low.”

Truth be told, health is a matter of personal choice. Sometimes, all you need to do is make small changes that help you burn calories.

In fact, when you are a couple, having analogous health goals help. While joining the gym to manage calories is a way, for couples, there is another noble way to do this, too. Because now, you can literally donate your calories to stay healthy and become a part of a social cause. Surprised? Don’t be! You can now pledge to donate your calories as a couple by getting associated with the campaign Donate Your Calories by Sugar Free.

In order to pledge your calories, all you need to do is buy a pack of Sugar Free. The sugar calories that you cut from your diet by consuming Sugar Free, the brand will donate an equivalent amount of calories in the form of nutritious meals to underprivi­leged kids through its NGO partner Akshay Patra.

Excited by the idea,

Upasana and Akshansh are pledging their calories so that Sugar Free can donate healthy meals to kids, while Archita and Arihant affirm that Donate Your Calories is a sleek counterpoi­nt to balance your weight in a noble way.

Today, it is a well-known fact that refined sugar is loaded with calories. Additional­ly, any kind of packaged food or bakery items also contain sugar, apart from fat content. Hence, it is best to substitute refined sugar in your diet wherever possible with an alternativ­e that retains the sweetness and at the same time, helps you cut calories. What’s more, you

can also be a part of a campaign that helps spread joy among kids.
