Humans are hardwired to crave sugar. We were animals who developed a taste for sweet fruit, and over time that desire became ingrained into our DNA. In fact, human breast milk has the highest sugar content of any species. And when you think about it, this makes sense because humans have the largest brain per body weight of any animal and our brains run on glucose!
So if the thought of luscious strawberry cheesecakes makes your mouth drool or if gelato ice creams are your greatest weakness, don't worry. It's not really your fault.
Contrary to what you may have heard, your passion for sweets might actually benefit your health. We know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Sweets can also be good for you! (just don't tell your dentist about it)
Here are some of the benefits of eating sweets:
Sweets make you happy! Sure, there's nothing wrong with being sad sometimes—it's important to feel all the feels—but if you're feeling down in the dumps longer than usual, sweets can help lift your spirits again. They help you with depression and anxiety! So if you're feeling down, try eating some sweet treats—you may find yourself feeling better than ever before. They can improve your mood and help you relax. So, whether you're looking for a quick pick-me-up or something more long-term, sweets have your back when it comes to getting out of a funk.
As you know, sweets contain sugar—which is another word for "energy." It would be best if you had the energy to get through your day and do things like going to work, studying or anything else that requires focus and attention span. If you don't have enough sugar in your system, your body will start using fat stores as energy instead—which isn't ideal because fat stores aren't meant for energy use! So when you eat something sweet like candy or cake or cookies (all excellent choices), it gives you instant energy to get on with whatever needs doing next!
Sometimes, all you need is a little sugar. When you eat sweets, your body produces endorphins, which are hormones that make you feel happier. But more than this, they're also responsible for reducing pain and helping you manage stress. We know that when you're feeling stressed, it can be hard to relax and focus on the things that matter. But when you have something sweet at hand, like a chocolate bar or a piece of cake, it helps calm your mind down and relax your body.
Many people avoid eating sweets because they don't really know about the benefits. People have a misconception that sugar does no good to the body. However, it helps in quick energy for the body. It also improves your mood and mental health.
All in all, just remember that sugar isn't always bad! No matter what kind of food it is, it's always the excess that can cause health problems. So, stick to a healthy portion! It's definitely okay to satisfy your sweet cravings once in a while. Just be careful of your intake. Always eat in moderation!
