Personal Wellness Benefits

  1. Reduces weight gain – With a lower level of fructose than normal table sugar, coconut sugar is less likely to contribute to fat deposition.
  2. Increases blood circulation – The small level of iron found in coconut sugar will have an impact on your overall blood circulation, which can increase oxygenation and nutrient availability in the body.
  3. Lowers bad cholesterol – The unique form of fiber found in coconut sugar, inulin, has been linked to lowering overall cholesterol levels in the body. By lowering LDL cholesterol and raising HDL cholesterol, this sugar can help minimize your cardiovascular risk and prevent symptoms of atherosclerosis and plaque deposition.
  4. Prevents oxidative stress – Polyphenolic compounds and phytonutrients in this sugar act as antioxidants in the body. This will lower the impact of free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, which increases the risk of chronic diseases and chronic inflammation, among others.
  5. Regulates blood pressure – The amount of potassium in this sugar may be minimal but it is enough to affect blood pressure. Potassium acts as a vasodilator in the body, relieving tension in the blood vessels and arteries and preventing strain on the cardiovascular system, including lowering your risk for heart attacks and strokes.
