BENEFITS OF MONK FRUIT
Safe for diabetes:
Monk fruit gets its sweetness from natural compounds called mogrosides. It’s generally safe for those with diabetes because it
doesn’t increase blood sugars. Even so, foods and drinks sweetened with monk fruit (as well as some monk fruit sweetener
blends) may include added sugars and other ingredients that increase carb and calorie counts or affect insulin sensitivity. Don’t
assume all monk fruit products are carb- and sugar-free.
Promotes weight loss:
Monk fruit has no calories, carbs, or fat, so it may be a great option for anyone watching their waistline. You can save
substantial calories and carbs by simply substituting monk fruit sweetener for table sugar throughout your day. Again, make
sure you consume monk fruit products that don’t include added sugars. And save treats made with monk fruit for special
occasions because many still include diet-busting ingredients like chocolate or butter.
Heart Health:
Contrary to common misconceptions about Salt and heart health, the minerals in Celtic Sea Salt can help regulate blood pressure and support cardiovascular health. Potassium, in particular, plays a vital role in regulating blood pressure and reducing the risk of hypertension.
Anti-inflammatory properties:
According to a 2011 study, monk fruit has been used in TCM for centuries to make hot drinks that relieve sore throats and
reduce phlegm. The fruit’s mogrosides are said to be anti-inflammatory, and may help prevent cancer and keep blood sugar
levels stable.
Ways to use monk fruit:
You can use monk fruit sweeteners to sweeten almost anything, including:
- coffee
- hot tea, iced tea, or lemonade
- salad dressings
- sauces
- smoothies
- frostings
- yogurt
- oatmeal or other hot cereals
Monk fruit allergies
Monk fruit allergies are rare, but there’s a risk of allergic reactions with anything you consume. Monk fruit is a member of the Curcurbitaceae family (also known as the gourd family), which includes pumpkin, squash, cucumbers, and melons.
