Stevia is an extraordinarily sweet herb with many health benefits.

 

Stevia is a wonderful alternative to both sugar (many people’s #1 nutritional enemy!)

and

artificial sweeteners (liver overwhelming, toxic, appetite increasing, diet sabotaging substances!)

 

Stevia is virtually calorie–free so it’s perfect for people who are watching their weight or trying to lose weight. It is a healing herb with an abundance of positive effects. The whole leaf contains numerous phytonutrients and trace minerals. It can sweeten any drink or food without adding calories, carbohydrates, or contributing to tooth decay.

 

Stevia also nourishes the pancreas and does not raise blood glucose levels, making it not just safe for diabetics but actually beneficial (always consult with your medical doctor before making significant nutritional changes).

 

Here are two delicious and super healthy beverages which use Stevia as the sweetening ingredient.

You may never want to buy sodas or beverages sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners again!

Your body will THANK YOU!!
