 Is it really so useless, or even harmful, sweet desserts as often proclaim the authors of articles and books on nutrition. And is it really reasonable to deprive yourself of sweet dishes, or tormented by remorse, yielding to temptation and eating a piece of delicious cake or a batch of ice cream?
Of course, there is sweetness in favor of which we have no doubt - honey, dark chocolate, prunes, raisins, their ability to positively affect the health and prolongs youth, studied for a long time, and the question is, whether or not there - not worth it. There are only a few differences on the dose.
But most experts agree that the useful (and allowed) the dose of chocolate - 1/3 of the tile in the day, sweet fruit - the fruit of 2, honey - 3-4 teaspoons of sugar in food and drinks around - 3 teaspoons. While necessarily black chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher. In milk chocolate, milk and cocoa are very few, but as many as 98% sugar. From fruit is desirable to choose firm apples, pears, hard persimmon. In fact, besides a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals, and they contain more fiber, which helps the bowels, displays the body of harmful products of metabolism. However, such "soft" fruits like bananas, grapes contain a lot of useful and renounce their use in any way do not need, just to observe moderation.
 Several stands out in this list of useful sweets
halva
. The word "halva" in Arabic means "sweetness", and in the east it is perhaps the most popular and favorite food since ancient times. Halva to classify dietary products, we can not, it was too high in calories - 100 grams of halva about 500 calories; it is a 2, 5-fold high-calorie bread and 2-fold high-calorie jam. But the sugar in it is not too much - just 30% of different sugars (candy, cakes to 80%). But in the halva is very rich in vitamin composition, which depends on the seeds of some oilseed crops (sunflower, peanuts, sesame seeds, almonds, etc.) it is cooked.

 And what about the
ice cream
- A favorite delicacy of our childhood? Study the effect of ice cream on the health and emotional state of the people involved in the British scientists. And we found out that ice cream just makes us happy. Ingredients in ice cream, affect serotonin (hormone of happiness), which is in the brain and is responsible for the pursuit of pleasure, the consumption of ice cream reduces the effects of stress on the human (as well as banana and chocolate). In addition, milk and cream, of which make real ice cream contain tryptophan, which calms the nervous system and helps to cope with insomnia. Thus, a favorite treat children and women, relieves stress, has a soothing, sedative effect, treats chronic fatigue syndrome.
Besides ice cream (a natural cream) is one of the most balanced foods, it activates the metabolism, easily digested and perfectly satisfies cravings for sweets. Slowly digested and long leaves a feeling of satiety. Calorie it is not so great - from 150 to 250 calories, and fat content - 6-10%.
But a variety of sorbets, and popsicles useful properties of ice cream do not have, and often are tinted frozen vodichku with flavors and flavor additives, the truth and the calories in them is not much, and fats are not available, but the benefits are very questionable, except that the cooling effect in hot weather .
Related useful in small amounts, can be considered -
marshmallows, candy and marmalade
.
Marshmallow and pasta
prepared with fruit puree, sugar, protein and agar (agar). Agar producing red algae, has a positive effect on the body - and normalizes digestion, facilitates the work of the liver, is useful for the thyroid gland because it contained iodine.

Especially useful
jujube
, It contains a lot of pectin - a substance extremely beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Pectin reduces cholesterol in the organism, contributes to the normalization of metabolic processes in the body, improving the peripheral circulation and intestinal peristalsis, acts as a natural "cleaner", purifying the body of toxins and noxious substances, and not disturbing the balance of the internal bacteriological medium.

Another class of desserts doubt - Baking: bread, rolls, biscuits, products and puff pastry.
 To figure the safest
unleavened desserts (lean) test

British scientists suggest chocolate sponge cake as an immunostimulant, supplementing their traditional tea with lemon. This Tea Party join the content of vitamin C in the body and reduce the emission of stress hormones that destroy the immune system. Good for improving immunity and light muffin with vanilla and cinnamon. It turns out the flavors of chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon contribute to the production of immunoglobulin A.
However, here the question arises: if the case only in flavor, it can be rather limited inhalation and eat a muffin and optionally? But let's not deprive yourself of a double pleasure - eat bun vdohnёm flavor, increase serotonin levels, because the immune system also depends on the mood.
The next safety is
puff pastry
But it should be careful - it is quite a large amount of butter, as well as the cakes puff pastry is usually thick coat with custard, these desserts are quite heavy for the body and calories - calorie 400 calories, with fat content - 25 - 30% .
The hardest part is
shortcrust pastry
. Such high-calorie ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, lots of butter or margarine, make desserts dough figures for the most dangerous and not good for health.
Caloric more than 430 kcal, and fat - 45%.
To conditionally harmful desserts, can be attributed to
biscuit
and
Wafers
factory production. The fact that any prolonged storage culinary products comprise a loading dose of sugar and fat, in addition, they include a so-called trans fats - a special kind of unsaturated fats that are harmful to cells.
By "good" desserts include
natural yoghurt
That had not been heat treated. They are living microflora beneficial digestion and gives strength throughout the body. To distinguish from other useful yogurt is simple - they do not have a long shelf life.
