“Long live cakes!
Any! All kinds!
Puff, sand,
Crispy and juicy.
Curd cheesecakes,
Rolls and buns.
And pies with poppy seeds!”

Sergey Mikhalkov

All children, without exception, have a real sweet tooth! They are ready to eat all sorts of sweets day and night and often agree to make concessions for the sake of one piece of candy. For example, eat a bowl of porridge or clean up your toys.

However, most parents try to limit the amount of sweets in their children's diet. After all, its excess at an early age often leads to various diseases and also has a bad effect on the condition of the teeth.

And yet you shouldn’t completely deprive your child of the pleasure of eating “sweets”! Children simply need to replenish the energy they expend during active games, as well as nourish their brain cells. Sweets do an excellent job with this task, but if you give them to your child, you should follow some rules.

Rules for eating sweets:

1. You can eat sweets only after meals. And then you need to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth.
2. Don’t make sweets a forbidden fruit, otherwise your baby will want “at least one piece of candy” even more.
3. When visiting, as an exception, allow him to eat a sweet treat.

Now let's find out which treats are good for children and why.

Marshmallows and marshmallows

These sweets can be safely given to children over 2 years old, since they are considered the most harmless for a growing body.

Agar agar, which is extracted from red algae, is rich in iodine, iron and calcium.

Marshmallows (like marshmallows) are made from fruit puree, sugar and egg whites. It acquires its most delicate, airy, creamy form due to natural thickeners such as agar-agar, gelatin or pectin. But vegetable and animal fats, flavors and synthetic dyes are not included in marshmallows, so they are easily and quickly digested.

It is known that pectin perfectly removes waste and toxins from the body, reduces cholesterol levels and improves metabolism. Agar-agar, which is extracted from red algae, is rich in iodine, iron and calcium. A gelatin has a positive effect on the child’s hair, skin, muscles and blood vessels.

Marmalade

Another favorite children's sweet is marmalade. In composition, it is very similar to marshmallows, since it also contains natural thickeners gelatin, pectin or agar-agar. The rest of the marmalade consists of fruit juices, syrups and sugar.

This delicacy is considered light and dietary. It can be given to children starting from 2 years old, since it does not contain any harmful additives or fats.

And kids really love this type of marmalade, like chewy jelly candies. They are thicker and denser due to the addition of beeswax. Now such sweets are produced in the form of various figures or animals, with the addition of natural juice and vitamin C.

Chocolate

Pediatricians recommend delaying introduction to chocolate until the age of 4-5 years. Children should be given milk and white chocolate, but it’s better to avoid black. After all, the latter contains the most cocoa powder, and some children are allergic to it.

And yet chocolate is a healthy treat! It is recommended for schoolchildren to eat during exams to get rid of stress, as well as to improve immunity after illness. After all, it contains antioxidants that help resist various infections and have a positive effect on the immune system and metabolism.

Meringue

Meringue contains only sugar and egg white, and therefore it is completely safe. Its beauty lies in the fact that it can easily be prepared at home: just beat the ingredients into a stiff foam and bake in the oven in the form of small cakes.

And if you take care and do not overcook this yummy in the oven, then the inside will turn out to be a soft and viscous mass. Just like chewing gum, only healthy!

Dried fruits

Everyone knows that dried fruits are beneficial for both adults and children. They contain a lot of vitamins and microelements; they stimulate the functioning of the cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal tract.

If dried fruits look beautiful, bright and perfectly smooth, then some kind of “harmfulness” has probably been added to them.

Raisins, dried apricots, figs, prunes— these are the dried fruits that can be given to children as young as 2 years old. Moreover, pay attention to their appearance: they should be natural and unpretentious. If they look beautiful, bright and perfectly straight, then some kind of “harmfulness” has probably been added to them.

But what you shouldn’t buy for children is candied fruits. They are high in sugar and low in nutrients. In addition, they are made from exotic fruits, to which a child may be allergic.

What else can be attributed to “correct” sweets? This is ice cream made from high-quality milk, preserves and jams, honey. All this can be given little by little to children if they are not allergic to anything.

And here unhealthy sweets- these are all kinds of caramels, lollipops, popsicles, chewing gum, sweet soda and other useless products. They add a bunch of flavors and artificial colors, but they have no nutritional value.

So, we can conclude that sweets in large quantities are harmful to children’s health, but you should not completely protect your child from their favorite ice cream cake. It is important to teach your child how to properly consume their favorite treats and choose only the healthiest ones.

Do you want to lose weight, but just can’t give up sweets? It's okay - small weaknesses are completely acceptable. Even models allow themselves sweets from time to time. It is only important to choose the right dessert, which will not leave extra centimeters on your hips or folds on your stomach.

In order to understand how dangerous a particular dessert is for your figure, you need to focus not only on the calorie content, but also on the fat content in it.

The most dangerous

The most harmful desserts (not only for your figure, but also for your health) are those with a high content of sugar and fat. They are difficult to digest, negatively affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and, in the end, are deposited in the form of excess weight.

Cheesecake. One of the most beloved, but also the most high-calorie desserts. It combines butter, shortbread crumbs, cheese, sour cream, eggs, cream. As a result, the calorie content is almost equal to chocolate - 600-700 calories.

Layered cakes. The main component of puff pastry is butter, as well as flour and eggs. It itself is extremely high in calories and fat. If you layer it with butter cream, as in the famous “” cake, jam or any other sweet filling, you get a heavy one, containing 400-500 calories and 40-45% fat, which is better to avoid for a long time.

Shortbread dough. It is also a very heavy, fatty and difficult-to-digest dough containing butter, sugar, and egg yolks. Most often it is combined with chocolate or other butter cream, which gives it a calorie content of 420-450 calories and a fat content of 30-40%.

Ready-made flour confectionery products (cookies, waffles, muffins). Not only are shelf-stable confectionery products replete with sugar, they also almost necessarily include trans fats - the most harmful type of fat obtained artificially. Being integrated into the cells of the body, trans fats prevent the cells from being properly nourished and contribute to the accumulation of toxins in them. The calorie content of such confectionery products is 450-500 calories. Fat content – ​​25-40%.

You can sometimes allow

Tiramisu. Another world-famous dessert is quite high in calories - 450 calories - but contains some fat (15-20%). Therefore, it is easily absorbed and is not deposited in the body. But it is rich in potassium and magnesium, which is useful for people with cardiovascular diseases.

Custard cakes. The choux pastry itself, which underlies a large number of Eclair-type cakes, is quite light. It all depends on the filling. The least harmful to the figure are unsweetened and low-fat fillings - curd, fruit, sour cream or condensed milk. The calorie content of choux pastry is 250-300 calories. The fat content in cakes varies depending on the filling from 25 to 35%.

Biscuit dough. It is quite light because it does not include butter. If you layer it not with butter cream, but with jam or condensed milk, for example, you can get a completely acceptable dessert with a calorie content of 250-280 calories and a fat content of 5-15%.

Enjoy light desserts

Unleavened dough (phyllo). This dough is based on flour, water and a little vegetable oil. It is rolled out very thin, so products made from this dough are less dangerous for the figure than other types of dough. The calorie content of filo does not exceed 200 calories, it contains 2-5% fat.

Marshmallows and marmalade. They are based on egg white or fruit puree. These sweets have virtually no fat, so they are generally not harmful to your figure, although they are quite high in calories - about 300 calories.

Jelly and puddings. Also one of the safest types of desserts for your figure. They are based on gelatin or agar-agar. Jelly based on natural juices and purees contain pectin, a substance that lowers cholesterol levels and improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. And milk and yoghurt puddings are an excellent source of calcium. Calorie content: 150-200 calories, 0-5% fat.

Ice cream and milkshakes. Low-fat varieties of ice cream are not only not harmful to your figure, but in moderation they even promote weight loss. After all, it is an excellent source of calcium, and calcium plays an important role in losing weight, since it encourages the body to burn excess fat faster. A serving of low-calorie ice cream or frozen yogurt has a nutritional value of about 80-120 calories, 3-5% fat and provides 20-30% of your daily calcium requirement. For even greater benefits, complement the ice cream not with chocolate or caramel, but with natural or frozen fruits, nuts, and puffed rice.

Just like ice cream, milkshakes have a smooth flavor and are an excellent source of energy and calcium. They are quite high in calories (100-150 calories), but they are low in fat. rich in trace elements, proteins, minerals and vitamins, making them ideal as a light dessert. Just make them with milk, not cream, and milk ice cream, not ice cream. You can add fresh and frozen fruits, natural juice, nuts, and a little grated dark chocolate to milkshakes.

Well, what about chocolate?

It’s not for nothing that I put this type of dessert in a separate item. We women love this sweetness so much that we cannot deny ourselves it, even if we realize the damage chocolate does to our figure. But is it really that harmful?

It turns out that chocolate in moderate doses is not only harmful, but also beneficial for. Chocolate contains many antioxidants that reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. In addition, chocolate contains microelements that prevent the development of osteoporosis, flavonoids that regulate blood clotting, polyphenols that improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system, caffeine, which has tonic properties, theobromine, which stimulates the functioning of the heart and central nervous system, as well as tannin, fluorine and phosphates, preventing the appearance of tartar and caries.

And although chocolate is high in fat, studies have shown that stearic acid, the main source of fat in chocolate, does not increase blood cholesterol levels. And if you especially crave chocolate when you're in a bad mood, then you're right: chocolate contains phenylethylamine, an antidepressant that is produced in the body, for example, during the period of love and promotes the production of serotonin in the brain, a substance that improves mood.

The least calorie-rich and healthy are dark and bitter, since the higher the content of cocoa beans in chocolate, the less cocoa butter it contains. Milk and white chocolate are higher in calories, so you should enjoy them less often. And it’s better not to eat chocolate bars with caramel, marmalade, nuts and other high-calorie foods.

Please also note that the more components a dessert contains, the more harmful it is, as a rule, for your figure. In addition, any dessert should be eaten before 16-17 hours, because the body must have time to process all these extra calories and fats.

Hello everyone!

Today I’m sharing a small review and discussion about healthy sweets, as part of the Instagram marathon “30 days without sugar” by the beautiful Svetusiic

I’ve been buying these delicious lozenges for a long time and I want to share my find with you. Where to find these - I’ll write in an evening post on Instagram

The lozenges are small, cute rectangles, dark purple in color.

They are very soft, easy to chew, although they stick a little to the teeth

The taste is very sweet, fruity, with a slight sourness.

Interesting facts about plums

Some more interesting information:

• Plum sweets- a favorite delicacy of the British royal family. In London, on Bond Street, the famous confectionery Charbonnel et Walker is located. This is where the famous “candied plum” is prepared.

• Plum breakfast Once upon a time the morning of the English Queen Elizabeth II began.

• The plum was brought to Russia only under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, in 1654. The tree was carefully planted in the royal garden, located in the village Izmailovo. Now this is one of the quietest and greenest corners of Moscow - Izmailovsky Island, near metro station Partisan

Is plum a fruit or a berry?

Plum is a fruit tree

According to the traditional classification, fruits- juicy fruits of trees (pear, plum), berries- juicy fruits of herbaceous plants (strawberries) or shrubs (raspberries, currants), vegetables- edible roots, stems and leaves of plants.

What are the benefits of plums?

Plums contain from 9 to 17% sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose), vitamin A, B1, B2, C, R.

Plums contain pectin, tannins, nitrogenous substances, organic acids: apple, lemon, oxalic and traces of salicylic.

Coumarins, which have the ability to prevent blood clots in blood vessels, cure thrombosis, and also dilate coronary vessels.

Plum stimulates appetite, enhances intestinal motility, has a weak laxative and diuretic effect.

Plums are useful for kidney diseases and hypertension. Potassium compounds contained in plum fruits have a diuretic effect, which contributes to removing excess water from the body And table salt.

Plums strengthen the liver and cleanse the blood, expelling toxins from the body. The fruits contain pectin and fiber. These substances bind harmful substances directly in the intestinal lumen and remove them from the body. Therefore, eating plums normalizes cholesterol levels in blood.

Contraindications.

• The sour taste of plums indicates that they are not yet ripe - such plums are not very healthy. Let them sit for a few days until they ripen.
• If you have diabetes, you should also limit your consumption of plums and plum juice, as they contain a high sugar content.
• These fruits are included in children's diets with caution, because their consumption can cause stomach pain, gastrointestinal disorders and diarrhea.
• Eating plums is contraindicated in case of increased stomach acidity and chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in the acute stage.

Compound

The main advantage of lozenges is no sugar!

I'll consider two embarrassing me ingredients:

• Carnauba wax- substance of plant origin, food additive E903.

It is obtained from the leaves of the South American palm Copernicia cerifera as follows: in September, I cut off the palm leaves, dry them, and then very delicately scrape the wax from the surface of each leaf. Then the wax is boiled at a temperature of 83-86°C.

It has several names, including Brazilian wax, palm wax, brazil wax and carnauba wax. To date, there has been no official scientific evidence of the negative effects of the E903 food additive. However, it is worth noting that the average daily norm has still been established and is 7 mg per 1 kg person's weight.

• Pectin- food additive E440, used as a thickener, stabilizer and gelling agent

Plums are already rich in pectin, but apparently this is not enough to form sweets.

On an industrial scale, pectin substances are obtained mainly from apple and citrus pomace, sugar beet pulp, and sunflower heads.

Pectins are practically are not absorbed the human digestive system are enterosorbents. When pectin comes into contact with heavy metal salts or toxins, pectin forms a compound that is insoluble and excreted from the body without having a harmful effect on the mucous membrane.

Excessive consumption of pectin reduces the absorption of important microelements such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and zinc. Protein and fats are also not digested, and fermentation and flatulence begin to develop. An overdose does not occur from eating fruit, but from excessive consumption of dietary supplements with a high content of this substance or pure pectin.

A little calculation, if you're not bored yet

• Carnauba wax is a complex mixture of substances, which includes fatty acid esters (80-85%), fatty alcohols (10-16%), acids (3-6%) and hydrocarbons (1-3%).

The amount of fat is indicated on the package, per 100 g of product = 0.2 g

My weight is about 50 kg, which means the norm is 7 mg per 1 kg of weight , I can eat without harm to the body 350 mg = 0.35 g wax a day

those. theoretically, even eaten completely pack of lozenges Not will harm the body.

• Pectin It must be consumed by people who live in contaminated areas (the daily intake of this substance is approximately 15 grams).

Pectin consists of 90% carbohydrates and 0% fat.

The pack contains 57 g of carbohydrates. It is impossible to calculate how much of this is pure pectin powder. Therefore, let’s assume that all 57 g is pectin.

Dividing 57 by 15 - it is easy to calculate that you can enjoy lozenges, without fear overdose if you stretch the pack to 3-4 day.

conclusions

You can buy and eat fresh, healthy plums.

You can get confused and make your own candied fruits = plum lozenges.

Or you can sometimes treat yourself to these store-bought sweets:

Considering, as far as possible, all the nuances - you can eat it without any problems third of the package lozenges with a cup of tea.

But I prefer to eat a few candies a couple of times a week, as and when urgent need for sweets

Have a nice day, sweet tooth!

Video Diet candy | Quick and easy recipe

A huge number of girls, in pursuit of a beautiful and slender figure, exhaust themselves with the most severe diets based on the refusal of flour, fatty, salty, and most importantly, sweets. In most cases, this restriction leads to nothing other than breakdown and overeating. So I once encountered this problem. Frequent conversations about proper nutrition and programs about a healthy lifestyle prompted me to think: “What tasty things can replace “harmful” sweets?”.

1. Abruptly giving up your usual food will not lead to success. Everything should be gradual. While still a schoolgirl, I gave up sweet coffee and tea. If you are still putting 3 spoons in a cup, then eliminating this will be your first step.
2. Also, do not forget about excluding sweet carbonated water. Initially, it can be replaced with juice from baby food, which is not added. And then generally give preference to the usual one. After all, we drink when we are thirsty, and sweet drinks only stimulate it.

If you don’t like boiled or tap water, and there is no way to constantly collect spring water, then I will offer you several options for improving the taste of tap, filtered or boiled water: 1) add chopped or (and) ; 2) squeeze or (and) , ; 3) put a spoon; 4) you can pour a little decoction of it into the water (a good way to quench your thirst in the heat), you can also add or (and) (analogous to the well-known Mojito cocktail); 5) can be cut, in Ancient Rus' this was considered the best means of quenching thirst, etc.

I am sure that everyone has their own version of the “transformation” of water.

Let's continue to consider what else to replace unhealthy sweets with:

1. Fresh fruits will help you give up unhealthy sweets, but you should remember that you need to eat them in the first half of the day (before 16:00), because... Their consumption in the evening hours harms the figure several times more than everyone’s favorite. If you eat little or no fruit, then, for starters, try to replace ½ of the sweets you eat daily with them. Then replace the other half with fresh vegetables. If you get tired of simply eating them, then you can prepare smoothies, for which there are a large number of recipes on the Internet.
2. You can diversify your diet, but you shouldn’t get carried away with these delicacies, as they are rich in carbohydrates, the excess of which can cause us to gain excess weight.
3. Recently, I became aware of another substitute for harmful sweets - pollen. It is one of the most important beekeeping products, along with. Pollen contains a whole “bouquet” of vitamins, amino acids and microelements necessary for the body. She's rich, and... This is not just a tasty, but a truly healthy product.
4. If you still cannot give up your favorite chocolate, then I would advise you to replace it with, or better yet, with chocolate without adding, which you can find in the section for diabetics.
5. What can be replaced? The sweetener (s/z) that I use can be found in large hypermarkets: for example, in terms of sweetness, 1 gram replaces 1 teaspoon. It is based on sweet, which can be purchased at any pharmacy and without wasting your time looking for sweets. Also, as a natural supplement, often recommended by doctors and nutritionists, you can use. It is made from the tubers of a plant of the same name, which residents of our latitudes more often call “earthen pear.” It is worth noting that it saturates the human body with useful minerals, as well as macro- and microelements, for example, silicon, and.
6. You should also not forget about the correctness of your diet: the body should not starve. It is the feeling of hunger that prompts us to quickly and incorrectly snack on liver, gingerbread and other things. Therefore, you should stock up in advance on the “right goodies” that will save you in difficult times.

This is probably the most basic advice. However, knowing from myself, you can quickly get tired of such simple substitutes, so for this case I have many delicious, correct recipes, some of them I come up with myself, many of them I find on the Internet. I'll share a few of them:

"Rafaelo"

• 200 g
• 1 package
• 10 cores
• 2 sachets s/z

Preparation: Mix cottage cheese, ½ package of coconut flakes, s/w and lemon juice. Pour the second part of the coconut flakes into a saucer. From the resulting curd mass we form balls, with almonds in the center, and roll them in shavings. Place the prepared sweets on a plate and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
