Recent studies conducted by scientists from the University of Tel Aviv put an unexpected emphasis on morning desserts. Once in the center of the experiment, sweets showed not only a positive impact on the mood, but also on the figure. The conclusion was no less interesting: the desserts eaten in the morning are useful to control appetite for the whole day. Participants who started the morning with a cake or donut showed a decrease in hormone hormone, Grelin, by 45%. This, in turn, allowed them to eat less during the day and achieve the desired weight faster.

Unexpectedly for many, this approach can help with a diet. Those who regularly included sweets in the morning diet retained their results longer. After the diet was completed, they gained weight slower than those who avoided sweets in the morning. So, if you are worried about the fact that sweets are “destroying” your diet, it may be worthwhile to reconsider your views.

However, on the other hand, the studies of American scientists discovered a somewhat less rainbow side of sweets. According to them, already one type of dessert is able to provoke a desire to eat it, even if a person is not hungry. Scientists have confirmed this hypothesis, conducting an experiment with photos of sweet dishes. Brain scans showed that only a look at the images of pies, cakes and sweets activates the areas of the brain associated with appetite and pleasure from food.

Dr. Caitlin Page from the University of South California emphasized how much visual stimuli can affect our behavior. Sometimes it’s enough to see delicious desserts, and the brain begins to “subconsciously” demand them. An important point here is the awareness of how even the simplest images influence us.

However, there is good news for sweet tooths.

In the summer season, when many fresh berries and fruits appear on store shelves, you can afford to replace the usual desserts with natural fruits. This is not only good for health, but also helps to maintain the figure. Fresh fruits and berries in the season easily satisfy the need for sweet, without damaging the figure and health.

Thus, although morning sweets can benefit, it is important to remember the balance. The best approach is to combine pleasures with a reasonable choice of products, given both the needs of the body and seasonal features.
