Stevia - sweetener # 1 for healthy and diabetic nutrition

Without sugar it is difficult to imagine the life of a modern person. The desire to eat something sweet and delicious comes from us in early childhood. Nothing changes in adult life: many still prefer to pass the evening, tasting delicious cakes or an appetizing biscuit cake. During the consumption of sugar, the endorphins (hormones of joy) are produced, that's why from the buns and donuts we have such amazingly quick mood and life seems beautiful and cloudless.

Two sides of the same coin

All the familiar name "sugar" in the scientific world has a slightly different name - sucrose. Normal blood glucose - 80-120 mg per 100 ml. There are cases when the intake of glucose is vital for a person. For example, the introduction of glucose into a vein is practiced by many doctors for poisoning or the development of liver diseases. It is she who can support the barrier function of the liver.

There are cases when excessive consumption of sugar negatively affects the state of human health. For example, with diabetes. Sometimes the high content of glucose in the blood leads to such problems as diseases of the cardiovascular system, nervous system, dysbacteriosis, obesity, skin formations.

If a person is predisposed to a disease, then sugar can be one of the reasons, so to speak, a catalyst for the development of these diseases. For example, this applies to people who are predisposed to diabetes mellitus.

Glucose, necessary for the body as a source of energy, is transported to the cells with the help of insulin. In people with diabetes, this process is disrupted because of a lack of hormone peptide nature. Glucose remains in the blood, not getting into the cells. There is an unnatural "sugaring" and the defeat of all vital systems of the body.

These are the two sides of the same coin. On the one hand, sugar gives us strength, on the other - it is not always useful for the body. The existing preconditions laid the foundation for the development of sugar substitutes. It was these substances that were called to replace sugar as the most important energy source in those cases when it was necessary.

In search of a unique sweetener

Sugar substitutes can be:

• Synthetic - aspartame, saccharin, suklamate;
• Natural - xylitol, sorbitol, fructose.

Artificial sweeteners, with all their convenience and ease of use, in some cases are able to have an adverse effect on the body. Therefore, some of them are prohibited for use in the food industry. For example, in the United States since 1981, saccharin was banned, and on the packaging an inscription was written about the harm to health. Natural substitutes are not recommended for diabetics, as they raise the level of sugar in the blood.

Many years of research in search of a useful substitute for sugar led to the fact that Stevia, a honey herb with sweet glycosides (steviosides), which beneficially affects all vital systems of the human body, should take a worthy place in the diet of healthy and diabetic nutrition.

Stevia - a food product of modern man

Homeland of Stevia is considered Central and South America. In the wild, Stevia can be found even in Mexico. The grass grows on plains or mountain slopes. Stevia reproduces by seeds, but very many of them die. Therefore, Stevia is cultivated to obtain a good harvest. The leaves of this plant are sweeter than sugar 10-15 times, and the extract - 100-300 times.

With the constant use of products containing steviosides (glycoside from Stevia extract) positive effects on the body are noted:

• Regulation of blood glucose;
• Increasing the strength of blood vessels;
• Increased synthesis of insulin;
• Reduction of allergic reactions;
• weight loss;
• Normalization of blood pressure;
• Strengthening immunity.

Stevia leaves contain glycosides, amino acids, essential oils, polyunsaturated fatty acids, pectins, vitamins B1, B2, C, E. Stevia has an anti-allergic, sedative, diuretic, choleretic effect. Regular use of herbs helps to strengthen immunity.

Stevia is recommended as part of the prevention and comprehensive treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, oral cavity, respiratory system. Also, with psychoemotional disorders, the use of Stevia has a positive effect.

In 1990, at the 9th World Symposium on Diabetes and Longevity, held in China, Stevia was awarded a gold prize. The world learned that there is such a medicinal herb that is capable of increasing the level of bioenergetic capabilities of a person.

Extract of Stevia leaves is universal in cooking. It can be added to pastries, cereals, desserts, salads, any beverages, and also used for canning.

The right choice of products with stevioside

At present, many suppliers of this product have appeared on the Russian market. To make the right choice, you need to pay attention to the fact that the quality of the product based on Stevia extracts depends on:

• Qualities of raw materials. (Depends on the conditions of care of the plant, as well as the zone of growth of Stevia, the way of harvesting and harvesting raw materials).
• Quality of processing of finished raw materials. (Since at the initial stage, the leaves feel bitter, the quality of the processing of raw materials directly affects the taste properties of the final product.) Bitterness decreases due to an increase in the percentage of rebaudioside).
