At Bless Your Heart Bakery, our goal is to bring you a healthy and low glycemic alternative in baked goods and confections. As a child growing up, I had a tremendous "Sweet Tooth." I was also very active so it appeared to have little effect....or so I thought. As I have gotten older, my body began to respond with weight gain, high tryglycerides, high blood pressure, and pre-diabetes. I still loved my baked goods and sweets and tried desperately to "go without." I would, for a while, until I went off the wagon and was once again craving sugar.
After several years of researching and perfecting recipes with alternative natural sweetners, and low glycemic, whole grain and nut flours, I can finally "have my cake and eat it too!"
Bless Your Heart products are free from high glycemic sugars and corn sweetners, and from sugar-free chemicals. My products are organic, free from preservatives and white flour, which we've learned will convert to sugar in the bloodstream. They are tremendously healthy and diabetic friendly.
In the 1850's folks consumed about 10 lbs of sugar per year. Sounds like alot, until we hear the current generation of youth consumes about 150lbs of sugar per year. Ouch! Our bodies are not designed to deal with this much sugar. Currently one third of all children are overweight and at risk of developing diabetes.
This product was a selfish endeavor at first for me, and then I realized others could surely benefit. Bless Your Heart.
Lovingly,
Rose
