How to stop smoking naturally - Stevia


         
       The Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant was discovered more than 1,500 years ago by the native Guarani people, growing in clumps of two or three along the edges of the rainforests of Paraguay


In the beginning, the natives used the leaves for their medicinal benefit, to freshen their breath, and to sweeten and mellow the strong taste of herbal tea.


Research conducted at the University of Southern California has demonstrated the connection between tobacco smoking and blood sugar levels. 


The main trigger of the high that smokers experience is sugar and its ability to allow nicotine molecules to transmit that “high” to neurons.


Smoking we all know is bad for you. It has been demonstrated to gave a casual effect on lung, prostate and breast cancer, heart disease and many chronic health conditions.


These findings strengthen the connection between nicotine cravings in smokers attempting to stop and blood sugar levels. 


The perfect naturally grown herb to help you stop smoking is stevia.


Stevia


The sugar alternative, stevia, is now considered as the best remedy for nicotine cravings.


Stevia is a plant material that is being used primarily as a sweetening alternative to sugar. It is a native plant from Paraguay and is now becoming a popular healthy alternative to sweeten beverages, coffee, and tea.


Stevia is sweeter than sugar but contains zero calories and carbohydrates. It is an excellent sweetening agent among those who suffer from diabetes mellitus as it does not impact blood sugar levels.


Research conducted in Germany reveals that stevia is efficient in suppressing nicotine and alcohol cravings.


When compared alongside aspartame, stevia is grown naturally and does not cause any unwanted side effects.


Stevia is used in many applications including desserts, pastries, sweets, and bread. Stevia has long been used in Japan. To date, 40% of the sweetener market makes use of stevia. 


In the United States, the reception for stevia as a healthy sweetening agent has just begun.


How to use Stevia


While you can use stevia as it is, I recommend using liquid stevia instead. It is most commonly packaged in a bottle equipped with a dropper, making it highly compact to take with you anywhere you go.


For those suffering from nicotine cravings, all you need to do is add a few drops of liquid stevia directly to your tongue for faster absorption.


Smoking cessation can be extremely tough, especially among chronic smokers. If you or anybody you know is planning to stop smoking, a little bit of encouragement and stevia will hopefully do the trick!

Palm Wine - Aphrodisiac, Health Benefits to Man ?

    Much better than beer and grape wine and loved by bees, Palm  wine is a natural juice, a white translucent sap of a variety of palm trees.  Although I have never climbed up a palm tree, I do own a few trees in the village. Professional tappers are normally hired to climb the palm. After tapping the tree, they position a calabash to collect the constant flow of nectar.  The nectar flows up the palm naturally by osmosis and is harvested twice a day for 5 consecutive days. No artificial prservatives are used. The most delicious palm wine or better called palm juice is gotten at the bottom of the tree when the taper comes down. I should know, been there, done it. In Igbo culture, a tribe that originates in West Africa  in the south-east of present day Nigeria,  the tapper gets paid in kind with a share of the wine. The owner of the palm tree gets the palm wine for 3 days and the tapper's share is 2 days. Then the palm tree gets to rest for 2 days...
