We already know that sugar consumption won’t directly lead to obesity however you can prevent developing cardiovascular diseases by consuming less and less sugar.

Remember how tough times are for some people right now and understand that the whole world is facing a new challenge that none of us have experienced before.
Some people don’t have access to gyms, some people are out of jobs and don’t have enough to consistently buy healthy food, and some people are just lonely right now.
