My Prayer For Gods Help for a Healthy Body and Soul

Dear Father in Heaven, most gracious God, this is my prayer for my life to be healthier in my body and stronger in my spiritual life. It is my goal to magnify You, my Savior, by the way I eat healthy and depend upon You to grow me stronger in your ways that others will see me and want what I have because it is You Lord that is within me!

Now Father, I ask that You break away any dependence that I have on natural bread and fill me with Your Living Bread. Help me to distingush how I am dependent on sugar and yeast products. Give me the strength and will power to eleminate these products from my life. I want to feed on Your Bread and drink Your Living Water.
In Jesus' mighty name. AMEN.

Are You Dependant on Sugar and Yeast in Your Eating Habits?

I\’ll be the first person to acknowledge the fact that my addiction to sugar is nearly as large as anyone\’s. I place myself on a weekly plan where once or twice weekly, I give myself permission to indulge.

Besides this, I mostly stay somewhat nutritious. This does not keep my love for sweet treats from fading though, and therefore, I frequently find myself looking for alternative methods to sweeten my snack or drink.

The following are a few basic alternatives which you could be in a position to eat instead of sugar. Hopefully they will act to satisfy your needs as you keep the calories downyou curb your calories.

The first one that I will name is one food that you\’ll typically\\commonly come across in foods, & we\’ll usually relish its sweetness. Honey is wholly natural, and keeps things organic if you prefer to use it as your sweetener.

One more manner you could go about is through the utilization of fruit extracts. For years, I have been having ordinary water whereas throwing in a few fruits to the water while I drink it.

This is lighter than juice and it\’s completely satisfying, yet it\’s naturally sweet. Once you get into the habit of this, I can genuinely guarantee you that you will most likely realize yourself not wanting to return to sugar at all.


Whether or not you are adding it to snacks or into beverages like iced tea, the natural markup of honey should offer you a healthier means of sweetening your foods.


It\’s tasty and it\’s healthy, and there is not a lot which tops the two of these things together with each other

Finally, a replacement alternative has made its way into the world, and seems to be making waves with a handful medical and weight concerned folks.

Truvia from stevia is making an impact in the health world, & it\’s taken from the totally natural stevia plant, making this an organic substitute in comparison to alternative typical artificial sweeteners.


Truvia has taken off in popularity this year, and you may have tried it in one of your drinks. There’s the Sprite Green drink that’s sweetened with the stevia extract, and Vitamin Water 10 features it too. There are a number of other drinks with the sweetener, and the list seems to continue to grow over time.

This is where I found this information:

Truvia Where to Buy

You can also buy packets of the sweetener on your own. People like to sweeten coffee with Truvia, yogurts, teas, fruits, and many other foods and drinks. Here’s a list of places where you can buy Truvia online.

Amazon sells Truvia packets in different sizes. A 40 pack of Truvia natural sweetener can be bought there for $3.59.

If you’re looking for something bigger, Vitacost sells both 80 packs and 140 packs of the sweetener for $6.89 and $11.99 respectively. Strangely enough, there doesn’t seem to be much extra value in buying 140 packets of Truvia through them but you obviously get the added convenience of not having to order refills as often.

Truvia can also be bought from many other locations, but these were the best prices that we found online. This is always subject to change, so shop wisely and keep an eye out for deals and discounts.

If you know where to buy Truvia locally, you can also look yourself. Perhaps a store like the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC carries packets, though we haven’t come across them in our area.

All in all, the sweetener is becoming more widely available as it grows in popularity. Compare the taste of it to other sweeteners like Equal and Splenda. If you’re sold on the taste, and the fact that it’s derived from the natual Stevia plant, you should have no problem figuring out where to buy Truvia.
