There is hardly a woman who does not know that sugar and confectionery temptations are the biggest enemy of a slim waist and a perfect body.
As much as we hate sugar, the body needs it. In order for the muscles and the brain to function properly, they need the necessary carbohydrates.
In fact, carbohydrates, also called "slow" sugars, which we actually need, are present in all foods. Their content in cereals and potatoes is especially high.
The amount that the body needs per day is 200 kcal of pure sugar. This amount is contained, for example, in 3 apples or 2 glasses of Coca-Cola. For men, the amount of sugar needed is higher, for children - less.
It is best to get more natural sugar. The one contained in the fruit.
Sugar has its alternative. Native American tribes in South America, for example, used the stevia plant to sweeten their dishes and drinks.
Stevia was discovered in 1887 by the South American scientist Antonio Bertoni. He learned about the herb from the Paraguayan Guarani Indians, who used it to sweeten their bitter drinks.
The two French chemists Bridel and Laviel revealed the secret of stevia in 1931. They found that the plant produced a white, transparent compound, which they called "stevioside" and that it was responsible for the taste of stevia.
The substance stevioside is 300 times sweeter than sucrose. Stevia leaves contain glycosides, pectins, vitamins, 17 different amino acids, trace elements, antioxidants, essential oils. And on top of that it contains no calories.
