#FoodPH - Experience a Sweet Exchange

If you have a sweet tooth, then a day without the goodness of treats and beverages can be dull, for sure. And when you indulge in your favorite snacks, there also goes the guilt of consuming sweets. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), too much sugar can take a toll on your body as it raises the risk of weight gain, blood sugar problems, and even heart diseases.

To prevent these health problems, the WHO recommends adults and children to reduce their daily intake of free sugars to less than 10 percent of their total energy intake to prevent health issues related to excessive sugar intake. A further reduction to below 5 percent or roughly 25 grams (6 teaspoons) for women per day would provide additional health benefits. (9 tsp or 38g) for men.

But what if you can cut off your sugar intake while still getting the sweet treats you love? Santé, a provider of premier organic health and wellness products and services, is making this possible as it launched today its new SweetVia, a Stevia and Inulin Sweetener at the Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan, Quezon City. 

“We know that it is hard to stay healthy these days, especially with the influx of sweeteners everywhere. Made from natural ingredients, Santé’s SweetVia does not only sweeten your beverage as it also provides benefits to your health. Now you can treat yourself without the guilt,” said Minette Carag, Chief Product Officer of Santé. 

SweetVia is made of Stevia, a natural substitute for sugar, derived from the leaves of a small perennial green shrub. This plant has shown medicinal properties that are anti-diarrheal, anti-tumor, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory actions. Scientific evidence also shows that Stevia is best for indications, such as reducing high blood sugar levels and high blood pressure. 

SweetVia also has Inulin, a natural soluble dietary fiber from a chicory plant that promotes digestive health. Inulin acts as food for the beneficial bacteria in the colon. Studies suggest that Inulin relieves constipation, promotes weight loss, and helps control blood sugar levels.

With the tagline of “Treat without the guilt,” SweetVia can be the perfect partner for your everyday coffee and other treats. Enjoy the delight of sweetness without the worry of getting your health at risk. SweetVia is ideal for weight management. It also does not increase sugar levels, making it a sweet exchange for your usual sweeteners for a healthy lifestyle. 

Switching to SweetVia may feel like such a simple step in changing your diet. But it’s usually the small but attainable efforts to change your lifestyle that yield to amazing and consistent results. Coupled by good eating habits and ample exercise, choosing SweetVia can kickstart great change for your overall health.

SweetVia is just one of the many products that Santé offers to help improve the quality of life around the world. The company has been providing premier organic health and wellness products and services and is widely known for its certified organic barley grass from New Zealand. Among its other retail products are Santé Barley Max and Calcium Cee.
