To eat or not to eat is a dilemma that torments many. On the one hand, chocolates and cakes spoil the figure and teeth, and also lead to sharp fluctuations in blood sugar. On the other hand, it is also difficult to exist without fast carbohydrates, especially if the body needs emergency nutrition.. Doctors are sure that sweet things are not always harmful.. The main thing is to choose it correctly and eat it.. What tricks exist here, AIF. ru told the head of the scientific laboratory of the Department of Public Health and Healthcare of the Russian National Research Medical University named after. Pirogova Pavel Stotsko.

Trick 1. Only healthy foods It is worthwhile to clearly understand that everything sweet is divided into useful and harmful. And, of course, only the first option can be eaten without harm to health.. First of all, all fruits belong to it - the most delicious and healthy dessert! But this list also includes high-quality chocolate, in which the content of cocoa beans is at least 50%, and even better - 70%. As a rule, these are bitter varieties. A couple of slices of such a delicacy per day helps to maintain normal such an essential trace element for the body as copper..

Also among the useful sugars are natural honey, marshmallows and marmalade, which, by the way, contains pectin, which is capable of removing a heavy and harmful metal - lead - from the body..

Unhealthy sweets include everything else - milk chocolate with a high content of fat and sugar, cakes and other pastries, which, in addition to pure glucose, contain butter, wheat flour, yeast. These foods have a negative effect on the functioning of the pancreas.. She has to take on a load many times more than normal, which leads to depletion of cells that produce insulin. As a result, this hormone is released more than usual, insulin resistance of all cells of the body, except for fat cells, develops, so there is a rapid weight gain, and sugar in the course of a simple biochemical process turns into fats that are deposited in traditionally problem areas.

Trick 2. Treats until 14:00 If you really want to, that is, you can eat sweets even if you are losing weight. But... just before lunch. A couple of slices of chocolate or one marshmallow, eaten before 14:00, will be successfully processed and absorbed by the body. But you don't need to think that only after this time, all carbohydrate food is processed exclusively in reserve, that is, it goes into the sides and hips. All carbohydrates, if not consumed correctly, will accumulate and turn into fat. The " Accordingly, if you are going to sit on a chair or lie on the couch all day, you will have to refrain from sweets..

Trick 3. Cakes and sweets - without tea If you drink chocolate with tea, you can lose measure and eat, for example, not a couple of slices, but immediately a bar. This happens for the reason that tea allows you to dilute the sweetness of sweetness and makes it not so concentrated.. In general, you need to drink and eat separately.. It is better to drink half an hour before and half an hour after a meal, then you will not only not overeat, but you will also be able to maintain your water balance in the norm, which contributes to the accelerated elimination of decay products from the body.

It is also worth considering the fact that liquid, for example tea, getting into the stomach with food, dilutes gastric juice and harms digestion. In addition, bakery products contain the trace element manganese, which, as a result of a chemical reaction with tea, simply ceases to be absorbed..

Trick 4. Desserts - separately Consuming sweets should be separated in time with other meals. A traditional afternoon dessert is actually extremely dangerous for the body.. Indeed, with food, a person already receives the calories he needs to maintain vital activity.. Therefore, the sweet, eaten in pursuit, will be a heavy burden - it will not be absorbed to the end and will be processed into extra insulin and kilograms. Both are extremely harmful to health..

Trick 5. Refusal to drink with sugar It is rare that anyone thinks that packaged juices are very unhealthy in terms of sweetness.. After all, the amount of sugar that is in them literally negates all the benefits of fruits. It is better to use natural freshly squeezed juices that contain natural sugar - and this amount will be quite enough for the body to receive proper nourishment.. But do not forget to dilute the freshly squeezed juice with water in a 1: 1 ratio, otherwise you can harm the stomach, and there will be little benefit from it.

And of course, you shouldn't reproach yourself if suddenly you ate an extra treat.. Better to just take and “work off” extra calories - go to the gym, climb stairs or just take a walk before bed. Alternatively, you can simply reduce the calorie content of food for tomorrow in order to get the necessary balance.
