Stevia is getting wide recognition for its extreme natural sweetness. It has come as a boon to the struggling patients of diabetes and hypoglycemia. It is found to be about 40 times sweeter than regular sugar which makes it suitable for everyone. Puddings, cakes, candies, yogurts contain loads of sugar which contributes a significant quantity to the daily calorie intake. With the usage of green leaf stevia you can cut down your calorie intake by a great amount.
There are a number of green leaf stevia brands available in the market but while making purchase make sure that you buy only the genuine product. Some of these products contain powder which is processed with synthetic chemicals in an attempt to increase its sweetness. This activity takes way all the healthy nutrients of stevia and therefore should be avoided at any rate. Always go for a brand that is organic and has no unnatural additives.
Stevia has been in use for a lot of centuries in China and South America. It offers a number of health benefits. It stimulates the removal of sodium and brings high blood pressure under control.
