Cut Out Sugar and Turn To Stevia
September 2, 2008 – 9:54 pmIf there was just one thing I could recommend you do to live a healthier life it would be to cut sugar out of your diet.
“But I love sugar!”
I know it looks like I’m laying the ground work to put you on some impossible to follow diet that looks good on paper but falls apart in the real world. Relax. I know all to well how hard it can be to change eating habits, and the most effective diet in the world is worthless if you can’t fit it in to your lifestyle. There will be some changes you’ll need to make, but don’t worry it’s not as bleak as it looks because you can easily replace sugar with a natural product called stevia.
When this becomes a way of life, your blood sugar levels are constantly spiking up and down, wreaking havoc on your body, crippling your pancreas, and influencing your body to store fat. Using Stevia helps you maintain healthy, stable blood sugar levels and it may even help your pancreas release insulin more effectively. Because of this, Stevia may help you fend off obesity, diabetes, and other serious health problems.

I had recently changed to Stevia. I had quit using table sugar about 5 years ago when I switched to artificial sugar to cut down calories and avoid crazy jumps in my blood sugar level. My mother and my husband are diabetic so eliminating sugar was a good thing to do. I didn’t realize artificial sugar was a bad thing until I read studies that state artificial sugars are not a natural thing and our body does not recognize them. Stevia is all natural.It comes from sweat leaves and has no side effects. The artifical sugar was causing dryness of my skin and itchy eyes.Thanks.
