A natural way to tackle obesity

With scary South African (and global) obesity statistics continuing to rise, health issues like heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes are becoming a major concern. With these topics at the top of our minds, many people are looking for sustainable ways to lose weight and create a healthier lifestyle. 

Canderel Green offers a fantastic, natural way to tackle this issue, as it’s sweetened with an extracted ingredient from the leaves of the Stevia plant. This revolutionary sweetener can be incorporated into a healthy diet to assist with reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, which leads to a whole variety of other positive effects on the body. Another major plus is that, because of its very low levels of kilojoules, it’s also safe for diabetics!

Some interesting facts about Stevia:

• Stevia has been used for centuries in South America as an addition to traditional food, drinks and medicines.
• The extract from the Stevia plant which is used to sweeten food and drink products, Stevia Rebaudiana, has a glycaemic index of zero and contains no kilojoules.
• The sweet compound found in the leaves of the Stevia plant is obtained using water extraction and crystallisation techniques, which are 100% natural.
• The final product is 300 times sweeter than sugar.
• For 40 years, the Stevia plant has been used in many countries like Japan, South Korea, Israel, Mexico, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.
• Today, Stevia can be used as a real sugar alternative without the kilojoules.
• Use stevia-based sweeteners like Canderel Green to sweeten hot and cold beverages and meals, as well as anything from cereals to salad dressings.
