Stevia Extract

[Characteristics]

Stevia sugar features high sweetness and low calorie and its sweetness is 200 350  times of that  of cane sugar but its calorie is only 1/300 of that of cane sugar.

The component of stevia extract that gives it its sweetness is a mixture of various steviol glycosides. The components of sweetness in stevia leaves are stevioside, rebaudioside A, C, D, E and dulcoside A. Rebaudioside C, D, E and dulcoside A are small in quantity. The principal components are stevioside and rebaudioside A.

The quality of stevioside and rebaudiosideA is better than those of other components, which are commercially extracted and used in various applications.

The steviol glycosides present in stevia extract are referred to as “steviosides” or ¡°stevia extract¡±. Among these “steviosides”, the most common is Stevioside followed by RebaudiosideA. The Stevioside has a slight and pleasant herbal taste and the Rebaudioside-A has no herbal taste.

Although Rebaudioside C and dulcoside A are small in quantity in stevia extract, they are the major components giving bitter aftertaste.

[Function]

A large number of pharmaceutical tests have proved that stevia sugar has no side effects, carcinogens, and is safe for eating.

Compared with cane sugar, it can save 70% of the cost. With pure white color, pleasing taste and no peculiar smell, Stevia sugar is a new sugar source with broad perspective for development. Stevia rebaudianum sugar is the natural low hotsweet agent mostly similar to the flavor of cane sugar, approved to be used by State Ministry of Health and Ministry of Light Industry.

It is the third natural succedaneum of cane sugar and beet sugar with development and health care value, extracted from the leaves of the herbal vegetable of the composite family-stevia rebaudianum.

Chia and Flax Seed Meal Crackers with Pumpkin, Sunflower and Sesame Seeds ~ Gluten Free:

In a large bowl combine with a wooden spoon:
½ Cup Chia Seeds
½ Cup Ground Flax Seed Meal
½ Cup Unsalted Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
½ Cup Unsalted Roasted Sunflower Seed
½ Cup Sesame Seeds
¼ tsp. Salt
1 Cup Water
Mix together until combined and let sit for 10 Minutes, if the mix is to dry add a little more water.
As the mixture sits it will thicken.
(Optional if you would like to add any herbs/spices add them in with the seeds before you add the water)
Line a cookie sheet with a Sil-pat Baking mat or Parchment Paper

I use a rubber spatula to help spread out the dough to an even thickness of your choice. If the dough splits use the spatula to press back together.

Bake in a Pre-heated 325* Oven
Do not score the crackers at this point.

Bake for 30 minutes
Remove from the Oven, Place another cookie sheet upside down on top of the first pan and carefully invert. Remove the Silpat baking mat and place back on the cookie sheet. If you used Parchment paper you can cut the crackers on the paper then flip each cracker over individually.
Cut the Crackers into any size of your choice.
I cut my crackers with a butter knife and flipped them over and placed back onto the Sil-pat baking mat.

Depending on how thick you make your crackers and how much liquid you add will determine how long they take to bake.
I checked mine after 20 minutes and rotated them around the pan so the edges would not burn.
I baked them a total of 45 minutes after I flipped them over. Keep checking your crackers every 10-15 minutes as they may bake quicker due to your oven and size of the crackers.
I removed any crackers that were nice and crispy and placed on a wire rack. I continued baking the last few crackers about 10 minutes. Make sure they are dry and not moist when you touch them. If you made them very thick.. you can turn your oven down to 300* to make sure they are completely dry.

Cool them completely on a wire rack before storing in a container.

ENJOY!

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Statistics
- The Shocking Truth!
===============================================
One of the biggest things that can cause a man to NOT feel like a “man”, is having Erectile problems.

Sure, guys joke about penis size all the time and of course, their confidence goes up if they have a “bigger” penis. But even the guy with the biggest penis, doesn’t feel like a man if he can’t get an erection, right?…

But before I talk about the shocking statistics about guys and erectile dysfunction (ED), let me first give you the true definition of it.

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to develop or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Also, Erectile dysfunction is the preferred term, rather than impotence.

Now, if you have ED problems once in awhile, that’s normal. It happens to all men even though they may not admit to it. However, if it’s been on and off for more than a couple of months, then we can assume you do have some degree of erectile dysfunction, which is a warning sign of a health problem.

The Shocking Statistics

When you think about ED, you typically picture an older guy in his 70’s … Well, NOT that you’re thinking about guys in their 70’s, just that it tends to happen to “older” men.

However, ED problems are starting in guys in their mid 20’s.

In fact, statistics show that 20% of men in their 20’s have ED, 40% of guys in their 40’s, 60% of men in their 60’s and so forth.

The prevalence of complete ED increases from 10% to 15% as age increases from 40 to 70 years. Thus, even though it does affect men to some degree at all ages, after the age of 40 is when the real problems become “common”.

In fact, this is called “Andropause” in men, similar to “menopause” in women.

And the cause is similar for most everyone, a negative change in your hormones, primarily due to aging.

This is due to an imbalance hormones.

A decrease in your “pro-sexual” hormones, such as total and free testosterone … Versus an increase in your negative “anti-sexual” hormones, such as female hormones (estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, etc.) and stress hormones (cortisol, adrenalin, etc.)
What Are The Causes Of ED?

Unfortunately, your penis has a mind of its own and thus, there are lots of causes leading to ED.

Different medications and drugs can cause impotence or ED, stress and worry, vascular and blood flow, boredom with your partner, fatigue, illness and of course, the negative changes in your hormones due to aging.
What Are The Solutions?

The solution has to be based on the original problem.

For example, people who have heart disease or diabetes, have vascular and blood flow problems, leading to erectile dysfunction. In this situation, you’d need to improve your lifestyle, eat better, exercise and take the right supplements to help fix this problem and prevent it from getting worse.

However, over and over again, the common denominator tends to be hormonal.

Listen… stress, worry, anxiety and depression can all cause ED. Some “experts” will say “hey, that’s not hormonal, that’s emotional”.

Yes to a small degree, but I say NO!

Stress and worry cause an increase in your “fight or flight” stress hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol, BOTH opposing testosterone and lowering this primary “sex drive” hormone.

People who are overweight and have extra belly fat, have higher estrogen levels because fat cells produce estrogen, which will send a signal to your testicles to produce LESS testosterone. Now you end up with a higher ratio of FEMALE hormones to male hormones — which is obviously BAD for getting an erection.

By the way, more female hormones cause depression and anxiety, which now we go back to the beginning causing MORE stress and thus, LESS testosterone.

It turns into this negative loop, causing more and more hormonal problems

This is why the older you get, the lower your testosterone and the more ED problems.

Fix your hormones and you’ll fix your ED, you’ll improve your drive – both in the bedroom and in life!
