Are you constantly battling that sugar craving after every meal? Sugar can be very detrimental to your teeth, as well as your overall health. Standing up to that craving can be tough.
Luckily, there is a safe, natural sweetener that can be used. Xylitol is a natural sweetener. It looks and feels just like regular white sugar, but it is extracted from any woody fibrous plant.
Xylitol has been used regularly since the 1960s and not only because of its cavity-fighting capabilities. Xylitol also is proven to show relief in nasal congestion, according to Xylitol.org. The results are proven when it is consumed three to five times a day, which means – eat up!
In more recent years, manufacturers have started to create many products with xylitol. Here are just a few you might find in your neighborhood grocery store:
- Spry Mints
- Xlear Nasal Spray
- Ricochet Candies
- Ice Breakers
- Trident
With so many different ways to incorporate xylitol in your daily diet, how will you do it? Dr. Robert Mitchell recommends xylitol as a great way to replace your daily amount of sugar and help fight cavities.
