Sugar is the new enemy these days. It hides in our cabinets, favorite sweets and ice cold sodas. We are told to avoid the evil little molecule at all costs, so then why is the pure juice of sugarcane considered the new elixir?
This sounds like some malicious ploy.
Take a deep breath and drop the Stevia, students Devon and Simi have harnessed the health benefits of raw sugarcane in one delectably refreshing freshly pressed juice that they call: Sweet Aloha Organic Sugarcane Juice.
Now before we get to boasting about former AU student, Devon, and her partner Simi, you might be wondering what all this “sugarcane is healthy for you” nonsense really means.
For starters, sugarcane actually has a very low glycemic index. A low glycemic index means the plant’s natural sugars are slowly digested. This results in a steady supply of energy to the body that, unlike the high glycemic index of processed sugars, does not cause a blood sugar spike that crashes minutes later.
Organic sugarcane’s high antioxidant content boosts immune system function and protects again liver and kidney disease. Now are you beginning to believe the fresh pressed juice’s elixir powers? The plant’s health benefits don’t stop there either. Raw sugarcane also contains a high concentration of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and manganese. These are all nutrients the body needs to remain healthy and strong. Just a sip of this natural brew will leave you glowing from the inside out.
