The Destroyer of Sugar

Hi, 

So just what is this Destroyer of Sugar?

It is a herbal supplement that has been around forever.  It is called gurmar and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine.  Ayurvedic medicine is the holistic system of healing developed in India and became known in the West via the teachings of Deepak Chopra.

Gurmar is known more by the name of Gymnema Sylvestre or GS as I am going to call it.  Basically it is one of several known herbs that help regulate your insulin levels and keep your blood sugar levels in healthy ranges. 

The premise of GS is that chewing the leaves decreases your taste of sweetness.  So you don't crave it as much.  Several studies have shown that over a period of time (tests have been done over 18 months) your blood sugar levels will drop significantly. 

If you keep your blood sugar levels under control, then you won't have to worry about developing diabetes.  Since diabetes is the fastest growing disease in the US, this is something you should probably want to be taking.  Especially if you want to control that sweet tooth. 

When you do eat sugars the circulating blood sugar levels increase.  However, there are mechanisms that move these circulating blood sugars into the cells for energy. 

They work fine when there isn't too much sugar.  When there is too much sugar, the cells don't need any more.  So the circulating blood sugars don't have anywhere to go. 

But, they do go somewhere.  They get pushed into the cells and not used for energy.  That means they turn into fat.  Now that is a rather simplistic description and it is way more complicated than that. 

But, I am not an organic chemist and, bottom line is that you all you really have to know is the above. 

GS is not the only supplement that can help you with maintaining and even lowering your blood sugar levels. 

We'll get into more destroyers of sugar in the next post.
