Sugar Rush Myths, Heart-Healthy Chocolate and Is Seven Tigers Too Many?

Today’s show is a wild mix of myth-busting, cocoa-fuelled revelations, and, yes… seven comfort tigers. I tackle the age-old question – does too much sugar send your kids into orbit? And…staying with the sweet theme, is chocolate as bad for you as we’ve been told? And finally, a comforting story about 7 tigers – roar!

Fun fact, Leo, the Lion from MGM logo fame does not use his own roar, it’s done by a tiger to sound more ferocious. (this on the web page)

If you feel like buying me a coffee so I can carry on what I’m doing, I’d really appreciate it and you can do that here. If you don’t, that’s also cool, I know times are tight.

Join the conversation and have your say: – are your kids behaviours affected by sugar? What’s your go-to chocolate — dark, milk, or something wild and nutty? And if you could have one emotional support animal (within reason!), what would it be? Email me at thisupbeatlife@gmail.com your confessions may just make it into a near future episode.

If you enjoyed today’s show, please share it with a friend who could use a little lift. Because life’s better when it’s upbeat — and a little more chocolatey!
