Sugar : Something Sweet to Think About



eSutras Organics Lavender Sugar

Pure organic raw cane sugar is good for health!
Sugar occurs in greatest quantities in sugar cane and sugar beets, from which it is separated for commercial use. Sugar from both sources is produced in nature as all green plants produce sugar: as a means of storing the sun's energy. The "simple" sugars, or monosaccharides (such as glucose), store energy which biological cells use and consume.

Sucrose is a larger sugar molecule that breaks down into glucose and fructose in the intestine during metabolism. Glucose is the vital fuel that the brain cells use. It is also fuels energy in the body.

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medicinal paradigm, holds organic cane sugar - the kind with little refinement - in the highest regard. Sugar is sweet, nourishing, develops semen, is beneficial for the eyes and gives your body strength. It eliminates excessive humors of wind and bile in the body and keeps the toxicity of cells in check. Why are we telling you this? Because we here at eSutras believe in the powers of our own organic cane sugar! And we've constructed our business model and the products we sell around the principles of the Ayurvedic tradition.

Uses of raw sugar according to Ayurveda :
When sugar is chewed in its raw state or eaten, undissolved, in a food, its properties and effects become hot. That is to say, if you eat a spoonful of raw, refined sugar, it will give you a quick burst of energy that soon leaves you feeling lethargic and weakened. When you dissolve sugar in a glass of water, however, its properties become cold, satisfying your thirst and strengthening your outlook.

+ Drinking a hot or cold beverage in which some sugar is dissolved produces a calming effect on the brain, while increasing stamina.

+ Dissolved in a cup of yogurt, sugar provides stability in the intestines.

+ Drinking water mixed with sugar brings quick relief in dysentery.
(Of course the excessive use of sugar is harmful. It causes many complications in the body like acidity, inflammation, swelling, diabetes and rheumatism. Everything in moderation, as they say!)
