79 million Americans have blood sugar sensitivities that many consider to be precursors to diabetes. Many chronic conditions are preventable through adequate diet and exercise. The inclusion of low glycemic foods can significantly help diabetics manage blood sugar levels, lower LDL levels (“bad cholesterol”), and reduce the risk of heart disease. At Sunfood, we have many natural low glycemic sweetener alternatives so that you can satisfy your sweet tooth while staying healthy! Yacon Yacon, also known as the “Peruvian ground apple”, is a perennial plant (Smallanthus sonchifolius) native to the Andes. Yacon syrup is the perfect low-glycemic sweetener option for diabetics and others monitoring their blood sugar levels. The long chain sugars of yacon cannot be metabolized by our digestive system, making it an ideal low-calorie sweetener that produces a negligible effect on our blood sugar. Far from adding empty calories, these long chain sugars act as prebiotics, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in our digestive system. Bee Pollen Since ancient times, bees and flowers have had a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship. Bee pollen is considered the most complete superfood available in nature. One of the most significant facts about pollen is that it is an alkaline energy-rich source of complete protein; it has approximately 24%-35% easily assimilated protein and 22 essential amino acids. That means gram for gram, pollen contains about 5 times more protein than cheese, eggs, and meat! Coconut Palm Sugar Sunfood’s organic Indonesian coconut palm sugar is a perfect alternative for those interested in a low-glycemic sweetener. It looks and tastes similar to brown sugar, however, it has not been chemically altered or enhanced in any way, making it a pure, natural, whole food sweetener. It contains vital minerals such as potassium (25% more than bananas!), magnesium, sulfur, zinc, and iron. It is also a powerhouse of vitamins with considerable amounts of C, B3, B6, B1, and B2. Sunfood is offering 10% off all Sunfood yacon syrup, bee pollen & coconut palm sugar! Use code: MAYSWEET at Sunfood.com to apply this savings. Coupon expires Sunday, May 20, 2012 |
