COCONUT SUGAR

Nature’s  Sweet Wonder of Health

Coconut sugar is by far the greatest discovery ever made in recent time . A new product that not only enhances the flavor of any food that it is added into but is also, thankfully, a great benefit to the health of humanity.

Made through an all-natural process of heat evaporation, coconut sugar has absolutely no preservatives, no chemicals, no artificial flavoring, and no additives, no anti-fermenting agent or synthetic adulterants, pesticide free, unrefined, and organic.

Aside from being all-natural and organic, this wonder sugar has an amazingly low Glycemic Index (Gi) of only 35 when compared to any other sugar found in the market. A low glycemic index diet prevents sugar level in the body from spiking and delivers glucose into the bloodstream at a slower but steady rate which helps avoid certain diseases like type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, cancer, and decreases the risk of obesity.

Compared to other sweeteners, coconut sugar has a much higher mineral content too. This confectionery contains minerals like zinc, potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and more that aids in the proper functioning of the body’s metabolism, growth, development and health.

Along with minerals, coconut sugar is also rich in vitamins including folic acid, thiamine, inositol, vitamin B complex and more, which are essential for boosting the immune system and for the proper functioning of the body.

Not only that, coconut sugar contains 16 out of the 20 amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins that functions as enzymes, hormones and antibodies in the human body. Proteins are the transporters of oxygen, vitamins, and minerals to every cell in the body. Proteins serve as the regulator of all bodily functions.

Without amino acids, protein production would not be possible, and without proteins, the body would stop working properly which will lead to many different kinds of sickness.

Coconut Sugar is indeed nature’s sweet wonder. Add in every cup of tea, milk, coffee, or use in your favourite food and taste nature’s sweet gift  packed with health benefits in every granule.

A Diet of Low Glycemic Index Promote Excellent Health

By helping to maintain lower blood sugar and insulin levels, a low-GI diet may be useful in preventing and treating a variety of the health problems. Here are some examples of how eating low on the glycemic index can help promote excellent health:

Diabetes - Substituting low-GI carbohydrates (like thick-cut oats, pasta, and legumes) for high-GI carbohydrates (like processed cereals, white bread, and potatoes) can help lower blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. This is why the GI has been an integral part of medical nutrition therapy for diabetes in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Europe for many years.

A low-GI diet may also help prevent diabetes from ever developing in the first place. Harvard University researchers who tracked the eating habits of over 100,000 men and women found that people whose diets are low in fiber and high in refined and high-GI carbohydrates are more than twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes, as are people who eat a fiber-rich diet with a low glycemic load.

Cancer -  Insulin is a cellular growth factor. Many studies have shown an association between high insulin levels and a variety of cancers including breast, colorectal, prostate, and pancreas. Other studies have shown links between diets high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, glycemic load, and cancer. This suggests that lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy body weight, exercising, and eating a healthy low-GI diet may help protect against cancer at least partly by lowering insulin levels.

Cardiovascular Disease - As with type 2 diabetes, researchers have found that a diet high in refined and high-GI carbohydrates may substantially raise the risk for heart disease. These foods increase blood insulin levels, which in turn contribute to a higher blood pressure, higher levels of blood fats (triglycerides), lower levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, and an increased tendency for dangerous clots to form and linger in the blood.

Hypoglycemia - People who have meal-related reactive hypoglycemia secrete too much insulin after eating. This causes the cells to remove so much sugar from the blood that they feel weak, shaky, irritable, headach-y, unable to concentrate, and very hungry with a few hours of eating. Choosing low-GI carbohydrates can help prevent this type of hypoglycemia because eating foods that promote a gradual rise in blood sugar and a lower insulin response reduces the likelihood that blood sugar levels will drop too low.

Obesity - Since low-GI foods are slowly digested, they provide a gradual and sustained rise in blood sugar. This keeps you feeling full and satisfied and delays the return of hunger between meals. Conversely, high-GI carbohydrates provide short bursts of energy that satisfy you in the short term but soon leave you hungry. Many of the fat-free and low-fat foods that have become popular over the last decade—such as bagels, processed cereals, rice cakes, crackers, snack chips, and cookies—tend to rank high on the glycemic index and may actually contribute to a pattern of overeating in some people.
