The Best Low Sugar Lemonade To Fight Stress & Anxiety

There are a lot of low-sugar lemonade recipes on the web, and while they claim to be a “healthy” homemade lemonade, the truth is that the majority of them contain a TON of sugar. Obviously, the sugar in these homemade lemonades aren’t the greatest for your waistline, but what many people don’t realize is how much the added sugar affects your mental health as well.

Studies on sugar and certain sweeteners show that it can increase or worsen anxiety symptoms, and the crash following the sugar high can leave you feeling shaky, all while weakening your body’s ability to respond to stress. A study conducted by the Department of Psychology at Princeton University on the effects of sugar and anxiety concluded that sugar and certain sweeteners can increase, and even or worsen, symptoms of anxiety. Additionally, the crash following a sugar high can not only leave you feeling shaky but weaken your body’s ability to respond to stress.

By replacing sugar with agave in this lavender lemonade recipe, you don’t have to worry about skyrocketing stress… simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the calming aromas of lavender, chamomile, and lemon.

Use a low-glycemic sweetener

Agave nectar is a great healthy alternative to sugar due to its low glycemic index. A food’s glycemic number, or index, is based on how slowly, or how quickly, the food increases your body’s blood sugar levels. Foods with a high glycemic index release glucose rapidly, which can negatively affect the kidneys and cardiovascular system. Because agave has a low-glycemic index, it won’t create a quick and sharp rise in your blood sugar, making this the healthiest (and most delicious) low-sugar lemonade you’ve ever had.
