I always look for options to replace white sugar. Preferably I do not use any additional sweeteners. I just like the natural sweetness of foods. Only for baking I like to have a sweetener at hand.
Since a while I reach for palm sugar. This sugar is very sweet. So there is less needed. As palm sugar has a low glycemic index (GI) the blood sugar will not raise that quickly compared to e.g. white sugar or agave syrup.
Palm sugar tastes a little bit like caramel and is good to handle.
Just the Best for the Blood Sugar… Keep It on a Low Level…
Since a while I take care of my blood sugar by eating foods with low glycemic load. That means I eat foods with a low impact on blood sugar and insulin. Because of that my blood sugar does not raise through the roof and does not fall back badly afterwards. So this helps to keep me away from cravings.
In the long run I want to maintain my health primarily by protecting the pancreas and thereby prevent diabetes.
Cinnamon
I add cinnamon to yogurt, minced meat, fruits, curry powder, chocolate, I use it for baking, I stir it in tea or smoothies. There are many options for cinnamon.
I like cinnamon as it tastes and smells so good. Furthermore it is a very kind spice because of its numerous health benefits. My favorites are the positive effect on blood sugar and the anti-bacterial effect. A half of a teaspoon a day can have some effects. You should use the Ceylon cinnamon.
