Alkaline Banana Pumpkin Bread

Wow, what a delicious and amazing healthy bread. Who needs sugar? Not me, and not you!! Did you know that just 1 tsp. of sugar suppresses your immune system for 1 hour? Well, it's true. Here are a few reasons I limit sugar in my life, and in my baking.

 

Reasons to Limit Sugar Intake:

• It leads to insulin resistance.
• It promotes inflammation in the body.
• It can lead to weight gain when ingested.
• It contributes to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In fact, our livers process fructose very similarly to the way they process ethanol. Dr. Robert Lustig calls fructose “alcohol without the buzz.”
• It appears to act like fertilizer for cancer cells.
• High fructose diets decrease HDL levels, while reducing the diameter and increasing the density of LDL particles.
• Glucose and especially fructose can bond to – glycate – proteins and lipids without proper enzymatic control. Keeping that in mind, the many benefits of Raw Organic and Local honey are truly amazing!

Benefits of Raw Organic Local Honey:

Organic, raw honey can provide an energy boost. Its carbohydrates supply energy and strength and it can boost your endurance and reduce muscle fatigue.

Honey is a great aid in relieving morning sickness.

Honey is good for sore throats, laryngitis, and coughs.

Honey and cinnamon can help in many areas including relief from bladder infections, arthritis, upset stomach and bad breath. It’s even supposed to be able to slow down hair loss.

Raw honey can be used as a medication for issues related to male impotence and female infertility. 

A salve made of honey, for diabetic ulcers, has been proven effective when other topical ointments are not well tolerated. It can be applied to eczema, canker sores or bleeding gums.

Honey and apple cider vinegar can be used for many ailments like stomach aches, constipation and even migraines.

Honey and lemon goes to work in the body shifting the extra fat stores, thus making it usable energy for regular body functions. Honey is cholesterol-free and can reportedly help keep cholesterol levels in check.

Raw honey has a viscous texture due to its low water content. It is a poor environment for bad bacteria to grow and is a good natural preservative.
