Sugar?! Think Twice

By Adi Andreeva

Is there a way to replace the white death- sugar with other healthy options?

YES!

For you, to decide for yourself, here are five healthy sugar substitutes that can change your overall health completely:

Cinnamon

Studies show that only 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol. Cinnamon can also be influenced as a blood sugar regulator, which makes it especially useful for people with type 2 diabetes. In some studies, cinnamon shows amazing abilities in stopping persistent fungal infections. In a study published by researchers at the US Ministry of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon decreases the spread of cancer cells in leukemia and lymphoma.

Stevia

Stevia is sweet, in fact without any calorie herb that grows naturally in South America, where locals have used it for hundreds of years. It can be purchased in the form of granules as a substitute for sugar (very similar to popular artificial sweeteners) or in the form of liquid. Stevia consumption is used globally. It has been used since 1970 in Japan and has become one of the most popular sweeteners there.

Honey

Unlike sugar, honey contains many vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the human body. Bees have added a special nectar enzyme that divides sucrose into glucose and fructose - two simple sugars for our bodies that can be absorbed directly. Therefore, honey has a healthier glycemic index.

Coconut Sugar

Coconut sugar is made from the juice of coconut flowers. It can be in the form of soft paste, dry blocks or in granulated shape. It can be noted that it has a low glycemic index and is very suitable for people with diabetes.

Dates

The sugar obtained from the dates goes through minimal heat treatment and therefore it is considered to be healthier and more natural than the sugar obtained from sugar beet and sugar cane. It can be used as a substitute in a number of recipes that do not require sugar melting.

You choose what is best for you and see how this change improves your health day by day.
