- Let’s take a look at the health benefits of these organic foods.
-
-
- Coconut sugar:
- It is rich in amino acids and has a low-glycemic index, which means it doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes like artificial sweeteners and table sugar. Organic coconut sugar is a great alternative to table sugar and sucralose, which have been shown to contribute to diabetes and obesity.
-
- Lemon juice:
- It is high in vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system, and also flushes out toxins by acting as a diuretic. The acids in organic lemon juice help regulate the pH levels of the body. Lemons contain compounds called limonins, which have been shown to fight many types of cancers.
- Strawberries:
- The antioxidants in strawberries help create metabolism-stimulating hormones. Organic strawberries also regulate blood sugar and help suppress our appetite due to their fiber content. They have potent anti-inflammatory properties, which mean protection against heart disease and cancer.
- Studies show that they may reduce heart attack risk in women.
