Stevia and Osteoporosis
A study performed on chickens shows that by adding Stevia leaf powder to chicken feed it significantly increased calcium metabolism in the chickens and had 75% decreased eggshell breakage. Now none of this yet is proof positive us humans are getting the same calcium advantages, but just by adding a few quality meals of lean protein from the fresh chicken, you now get the added benefits from their improved diet also.
Another advantage, anyone who must remain gluten free because of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity or even a wheat allergy plus almost every diabetic (you still must keep track of your blood sugars by checking on your glucose meter. There is a small sub-section of diabetics that do still have problems even with stevia) you can now often enjoy your snacks guilt-free!
So making some allergy free and sugar free snacks now just became a whole lot easier for many people which must adhere to a restricted diet. Any kind of snack which uses all-natural and organic coconut flour, a naturally gluten-free flour that is 58% fibre and 14% coconut oil and also rich in lauric acid, this combination together will amazingly boost your metabolism and immune system just because of the inherent health advantages of both all by themselves.
So it doesn't take much imagination to figure out what the two combined can do as a step up in lifestyle changes to aid in your future health. What better way is there to enjoy your sweets?
Did living a gluten free or diabetic safe lifestyle become one of your top priorities for you or a family member? Many of us struggle every day with either one or both of these conditions.
