10 alternatives to sugar
Anyone who is found to ingest every day in different amounts of white sugar. But many people do not realize to consume excessively and cause damage to their own health, starting to have problems with diabetes or even end up suffering from obesity.
You have to remember that sugar is present not only in sweet foods, but also in other industrial preparations (such as sauces and various condiments), and in the form of high-calorie sucrose, not in any way contain nutritional components.
What I want to suggest, it is having to replace with ten alternatives, sugar with some totally natural products, whenever you want it. Using these foods that soon I will list to not only do not you give up the sweetness, but will use healthy products in any way that will not put your health at risk.
1.) The first product I recommend is the honey. Rich in nutritional components as well as give us a sweet taste, it gives strength and energy to our body. Another alternative is malt, which is also rich in nutrients for the body, is more suited to those who do not like a very sweet taste. Later, we find the grape juice, antioxidant drink and energetic for our body, and a perfect way not to give up the sweetness. We find as another substitute prunes, rich in carbohydrates, fiber, potassium and vitamin B6, help our body to have more energy and will give us their sweetness no influence in any way with our health. Other product suitable to replace sugar is stevia: plant very well known especially in South America, for its sweetening properties that are found in particular, on the leaves and then because it contains no calories.
2.) Even the apple juice is a great natural sweetener, rich in vitamins A, C, PP, B1 and B2, and minerals. It helps strengthen our bodies also the immune system. Among the sweetest fruits are cranberries (cranberries Americans) that in addition to being used for food, thanks to its properties, are also used for urinary tract infections. Another fruit that can be used is the mashed banana: that in addition to being very sweet to our body gives a lot of energy, improves mood and reduces stress. Another product is the sweet syrup maple mineral rich cleansing, strengthens the immune system and also reduces bloating. Food last but not least is the dried apricots as well as having antioxidant properties, is rich in fiber, minerals and vitamin A, and strengthens the immune system and bones.
