甘いものを食べれないストレス vs 多少食べる心の余裕

The stress of not being able to eat sweets vs. the willingness to eat a little

Even if we know that sweets are bad for our health, our psychology is such that we can't help but reach for them. However, should we completely cut out sweets for health management or dieting purposes, or is it better to enjoy them a little? Let's think about this topic.

The stress of giving up sweets completely
Restricting carbohydrates and cutting out sweets can certainly have health benefits in some cases, but suppressing food cravings for too long can lead to stress, which can increase your appetite and cause you to overeat.

In addition, increased stress causes the body to secrete a stress hormone called cortisol , which can raise blood sugar levels, hinder metabolism, and make it easier to store fat.

"Moderate sweets" to give you peace of mind
On the other hand, allowing a small amount of sweets can help reduce stress and maintain mental balance. For example, treating yourself to a small sweet treat once or twice a week can give you a sense of satisfaction while also maintaining your overall health. This "moderate enjoyment" is extremely important for maintaining your health over the long term.

The key is "quantity" and "quality"
Even when you say "a little sweet," it's important to think about quantity and quality. For example, you can minimize the impact on your health by choosing sweets that prevent a sudden rise in blood sugar levels, such as those that do not use wheat, which has a high GI value, high-cocoa chocolate, and fruit. Also, by slowly savoring small portions rather than eating large amounts all at once, you can feel satisfied even with a small amount.

Reconsider your relationship with sweets
The important thing is to "get along well with sweets" rather than treating them as the "enemy." Rather than trying to completely eliminate them, finding a balance that suits your lifestyle and goals will help you achieve both health and mental fulfillment.

Conclusion <br>Rather than suffering from the stress of not being able to eat sweets, it may be better to relax and enjoy a little. Food is one of the joys of life. Enjoy sweets within reason and take care of your mental and physical health.
