Okay, we’ve got to be serious for a bit. November is Diabetes Awareness Month here in sunny South Africa, with World Diabetes Day falling on the 14th. Being the tea lovers we are, we want to shine the spotlight on the benefits of managing a sugar-free lifestyle.
As a team, a lot of our passion lies in catering to everyone’s needs, ensuring as many people as possible can enjoy the rejuvenating taste of BOS products. Healthy living shouldn’t sacrifice taste and flavour, don’t you agree? We’re constantly innovating to bring you deliciously healthy drinks that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. In this month’s blog, we’ll meander through the importance of sugar-free options and how our delicious range can make a refreshing difference.
The Lowdown on Diabetes
We’ve seen the stats – diabetes affects around 12% of South Africa’s adult population. That’s about one in every nine people. South Africa even ranks among the top countries in Africa with the highest prevalence of diabetes. However, behind those numbers are real people, families and friends. Managing the disease requires constant vigilance, monitoring of sugar intake and entire lifestyle changes – we want to help make that easier with our sugar-free Rooibos ice tea. With a “lower sugar intake” trend on the rise as well, BOS also wants to support this journey by providing a yummy and healthy alternative to sugar-heavy drinks.
The Strength of Sugar-Free Tea
We believe that everyone deserves deliciously healthy drinks that fit into their lifestyle. Our naturally sweetened sugar-free Rooibos tea, with its distinctive antioxidant properties, has shown promise in curbing diabetes (you can read about that in this blog).
We sweeten our Rooibos tea with a natural sweetener – Stevia. A plant-based natural sweetener offering you a guilt-free alternative to sugar, without compromising on taste. Stevia has zero calories and doesn’t raise blood sugar levels, making it an ideal choice for those managing diabetes or reducing sugar intake.
