Stevia |
After searching for
months, I already got my first stevia plant. Stevia is known to be a source of
natural sweeteners because of the rebaudioside A.
There are also other benefits that we can get from stevia. Some claimed
that it can help reduce blood pressure and lower blood sugar level because of its stevioside content. Other
use this as treatment for heartburn, lowering uric acid level, boost strength
of muscle contraction that is needed in pumping blood from the heart, aids in
water retention while some said that this helps in preventing pregnancy.
However, there are some experiencing
bloating,nausea, dizziness, muscle pain, and numbness after taking stevia (I assume they took this in heavy dosage). Furthermore,
it might also cause allergic reaction to try this one as alternative to sugar,
you must take this in moderation to avoid any side effects. Just remember, excess in anything will be dangerous
to our health.
