Preventing heart disease should be at the very top of your priority list if you're over the age of 35. Why? Because roughly ⅓ of all the deaths of people 35 and older in the United States are caused by this pervasive--and very preventable--disease.

One of the most effective ways to stay healthy and do your body right is by reducing your daily sugar intake, but we probably don't have to tell you that. It's hardly a state secret that refined sugar, as well as sugar's nefarious cousins--corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup--directly impact weight gain and the health problems associated with obesity.

If you've been with us since the beginning of August, then you've been massively reducing your sugar intake all month by using Sweetly Stevia as a substitute. But just in case you missed our stevia tastations, here they are, rounded up for your convenience! 

If you've heard of stevia, you probably know that this leafy plant from South America is the source of an all-natural, calorie-free sweetener called stevia extract. There are countless health benefits to using stevia extract instead of regular sugar in your beverages, baking, and other cuisines thanks to stevia's rich nutrient profile and positive effect on metabolism. But what you might not know is that stevia extract can also nourish you from the outside in, and promote healthy skin and teeth.

Exercising is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The physical activity guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services recommends that adults should do at least 2 ½ to 5 hours a week of moderate-intensity exercise, or 1 to 2 ½ hours a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. In addition, including muscle-strengthening activities 2 or more days a week is also strongly recommended in order to achieve maximum health benefits.
